Pindari or Sar Pass

Hello everybody,

Could anyone give any suggestions on which is 'better':

a) Pindari Glacier and Kafni, going with tents and sleeping bags, eating at KMVN or
b) Going with YHAI to Sar Pass, with everything taken care of

What I mean by 'better' is:
a) which has more snow and ice
b) which is tougher
c) is the charm of going by yourself to Pindari offset by the scenic beauty (which I hear from second person accounts is better than Pindari) at Sar

Thanks for your inputs.

Cheers,

Zainul Charbiwala.

Hi Avvid,

Unfortunately, I cannot do both this year. So would there be a preference you could suggest.

Cheers,

Zainul.
