DAY 5
Satlanjan - Kolahoi base camp (4140m) - Lidderwat (3050m) 8 Hrs
The 5th day of our trip is packed with a lot of activities and thus an early start is vital. The trekkers can move across nomadic shepherds on the journey. The trekking becomes harder as we get closer to the glacier because the landscape turns into rough glacial moraine. You can get a amazing view of the Kolahoi Peak. Trekkers can get the best view of Kolahoi once they climb a little high on the ridge opposite. We will head back to Lidderwat via Satlanjan and you will be ecstatic by the view of splendid peak.
