Tapovan and Kedartal in October 2008.

It was a nice trip. By the help of Raghu/Dilliwala, we did two treks. First to Gohna Tal and other to Kalpeswar. Birahi GMVN was very beautiful. From Pipalkothi we went to a place called Salna by car from where trek for Kalpeswar starts now a days. Road upto Urgam Village is under construction. By mistake driver took us beyond 1 KM of Salna. Real story starts here. We were completely lost as none were available. The driver dropped us and vanished in no time showing us a path which is not at all the way to Kalpeswar. After a stiff uphill climbing of 2 KM we reached to the main trail. It was really a thrilling journey. My son had no problem during the trip.

Excellent shots Somnath! I like very much the picture of Mata jee, really a nice lady.
I'll post my pics when I come back in Italy, I'd like to edit them before. Some of them are really very nice.

Somnath, where is your travelogue.
Eager to read about your experience.

Thanks

october is a nice time to venture in high altitudes... most of the old snow would have melted... also you can expect sky to be clear... you can have some stunning views of peaks around..
and kedar taal is a easy and short trek.. so no need to worry much...

Hi, himalayangoat

Dear Abhijit
the weather good on Oct. only bit cold, so how can you go for climbing this peak,should be need take permit 1st from local administration ,also have you need good team who can help and lead you for this part.

No,we are not going to climb , we are planing to go summit camp only. By mistake I wrote " Jogin Summit" .
