Now Showing: States of India / Himachal Pradesh / Khhang Shiling Trek    [Viewed 3370 times]
U see prayer flags in the wind. This is Khhang - Shiling - Snow Mountains of the Four Ridges. From Manali we crossed Rohtang Pass and then Kunzum la into Spiti Valley. To read Divyesh travelogue <a target=_blank href=http://www.himalayanclub.org/journal/khhang-shiling-snow-mountain-of-four-ridges/>click here</a> U see Trident on the monastry to ward off evil. We went to the old and new monastery at Ghungri, near Mikkim. It contained idols of Demchhog (Shiva, the presiding deity of Kailash) and Dorje Phangmo (Parvati, his consort) in close embrace. Trek along Parahio river. Spiti landscape. The same mountain in Spiti has different colors making it quite a awesome sight.
Khang Shiling from Lake Chom. Getting the loads across. 3 Musketers at base camp. Puja at Base Camp 4320 metres.
River crossing. Very exciting the first few times I did it but no longer. Vineeta climbed high on the ridge at the junction of the three valleys to click this lovely picture that also shows our way upward to Camp 1. Members at Advanced Base Camp 5160 metres. On the glacier.
Negotiating the crevvases. A deep crevasse field. At the Pass with Shigri Parvat in the background on the left. Decided not to do Shigri Parvat since route was broken, unstable steep rock.Valley below and distant peaks. Wow.
Artistic Barashigri Glacier. On Sept 19 7am started climbing. Although the route ahead was not very steep, we had to fix three rope lengths due to the hard ice below the thin layer of snow. A strong wind increased the wind chill. We carefully belayed each other to the top by 1.30 p.m. U see us on the final slopes of Khang Shiling. Cheers on the summit. We spent an hour on the top of Khhang Shiling, taking pictures and enjoying the view. High peaks from the summit.
