Harish Kapadia has gone till the base, {Nestal}

AndreasW and yours truly have discussed this here and there..... (on IM)

To my mind, no regular trekker has crossed the Pass. Not even shepherds... are very few... coz they prefer the Bhaba crossing.

Be the first one to do this and post a detailed account here...

I know it is of no help, still mentioning that i bumped into three Russian guys in 2005 at a Dhaba at Kaza who where coming after completing Shakarog pass. One of them mentioned they somehow did the trek with help of a shepherd who came along after a lot of persuasion.

Vaibhav, i will be keenly following this thread to read your personal account of the trek. Please, keep us posted.


P.S. I feel October is a bit late and you may not be able to find any Local navigator this time around.
