you seriously think you will not get any snow at 13800 feet? i doubt! these are the heights where snow stays all year round.

you may get doctor at the local market at kasol(basecamp).It is required but it is ok to get it from kasol.They will tell you from where there....

Not to frighten anyone but there was death in SP4 batch and guy died coz of dehydration at Biskeri camp.Please drink lots of water and also have Glucon-D or electral powder mixed into the water.They serve milk(kheer,daliya) everyday in dinner,dont avoid this.get some orange flavoured small peepermints(childhood wali) ,it helps you a lot.You wont feel dehydrated.

Have food properly.Whatever they serve have it.

you will get airtel and BSNL network on higher camps,but no vodafone.Keep ur torch within sleeping bag at night to avoid draining.

Walking stick is very helpful.Get it from local market at 1st camp with some 10-15 Rs.

Keep some cold related medicines or balm(vicks),as mostly all faced running nose pb.

Try to wear waterproof/nylon track pants while sliding as this will easily dry off.follow the technique they say,they are best guides.its fun to slide on snow.

Shocking .. I couldn't find this news anywhere else.. Is this information authentic? How old was he? Please share as much information possible

His name was Prashant Gangutkar and was from SP4 batch. He had problem of vomiting at zirmi camp. Camp leader have already told him not to continue but he ignored it. He completed whole trek even with such difficulties but after reaching to basecamp, he was admitted to hospital in Zari where doctors advised him to move to Chandigarh. but he couldn't make it and unfortunately he died on the way.
The new is confirmed by camp leader at base camp in Kasol. I was also shocked after I got this news. May his soul rest in peace.
