Hi, yes, it should be possible in end may or early June. Brij Ganga pass may have some snow though. I am out of the country for another month and don't have the distance data etc with me. I will mention it when I am back.

The previous year had very heavy rainfall , and the damage was due to that.

Hi, the generic costs are : Travel to Munsiari (bus / personal car). Food on trek at about 400 per day per person, Guide 2000-2500 per day, porters locals 1200 per day, Nepali porters 800-1000 per day. Mules go on this route they cost about 1000 per day. Porters carry about 25kg, mules about 40-50kg. You will need to hire tents, kitchen utensils, gas cylinders and stoves etc. It may be easier to contact a trekking company and get a quote and then customizer it to your requirements. In general expect to pay about 3500-4000 per day.

I am not sure. MR Harish Kapadia, the editor of the Himalayan Journal may know. There have been mistaken claims before.

Climbers like Smythe , Tilman and Shipton were of another order. Smythe's performance on the north side of everest is one lesser know event. Tilman is a true hero. Incomparable on many fronts. I read Kamet conquered before we went there and kept imagining them doing the same nearly a century ago. What an effort with no satellite imagery and maps etc.

Thank You, the area is beautiful.

Thank you , it was wilder in 1982 and even in 1992 !!

Most people, close to 99% left when the border trade with Tibet closed after the 1962 war. They all moved down to their summer homes at lower altitudes. Few still return. Like Prema and her husband.

Yes off course , at Kharsoli. The camp down the valley from Khatling. Good to hear from you and to know that we are on similar paths.

Thank You. I believe the mountain pretty much showcased itself, considering the fact that we are amateur climbers and amateur photographers! The sunset scene recorded around 23:15 was more grand than I managed to capture. Interestingly Trishul looks more majestic from afar, than this close to it.

Inspire of going in that area in 1982, 1982 , 1992 , 2005 and then this year, and inspite of the damage due to the road the area is very beautiful. Many side sections are still untouched. Especially towards Longstall Col on the west, the Trishuli and Hardeol peak areas in the north and the areas around Ralam Glacier. Go there with tons of time and explore it all.

@@ashutoshchopra Yeah definitely I want to get right up to Nanda Devi East.

After completing AMC, I suggest you climb 2 or 3 6500m peaks. The altitude is one thing, technical difficulty is another. In general we tend to look for greater achievement in climbing higher peaks. But skill does not improve. Many who have I climbed Everest have bare basic skill. I suggest develop technical skills and then climb higher. Some of the world's best climbers, first became adept at climbing big rock faces.

@@ashutoshchopra thnx a lot, can u suggest some peals plz in india

@@ThePravint Check Out www.indmount.org/IMF/getPeaks?type=op for peaks in India

We did not have a guide. As I have been in that area many times before, in 1982, 1983, 1992 , 2005 and then on this trip in 2015 or 2016. The route is well marked and straight forward. Any local guide at Munsiari should be fine.

This was May, but be ready for clouds to cover the peaks by 1100. it generally rains for a while in the afternoon with it ckearing at night.

@@ashutoshchopra also did you face any issues while getting the permission were there any necessities?

@@mitanshiitd7212 i dont recall anything special. the local Tehsildar at Munsiari gives an inner line permit. it takes 20 odd minutes. you will be checked at multiple places, enroute. avoid photography of any military setup etc. unfortunately the army is building a road in many places now,that has scarred the route. it used to be wild, pristine and spectacular when i first went there in 1982,then 1983 and again in 1992 and 2005 and then this trip. i have witnessed the sad change.

@@ashutoshchoprahow much is the distance approx

@@akshayraj8249 It was about 80 odd km appx total

It's not a hike, its a climb on Mt Kamet. Though, If you want to go upto the base of the mountain, you can apply for a inner circle permit at joshimath. That area is controlled by the ITBP, their clearance may be needed too. The trek till there is about 5 days one way. Expect to pay higher rates for porters as the altitude of the base is about 18k+. Haps will cost about 1500 per day per person appx.

​@@ashutoshchopraHow can one go for the expedition ? And the cost ?

@@karan_6682 Some adventure companies plan climbs to a few popular peaks. IMD also plans expeditions. Expect to pay 1.5 to 2 lakhs for a month long expedition to a peak of about 7000m height. But I suggest your climb 5 odd peaks between 6000 to 6500m first .
