Today we start our trek at around 7AM,
because the trek will be a lengthy one than
rest of the days. Although, the terrain is not
steep and is very gradual ascend but it will
take around 6-7 hours to cover the distance
of 10Kms from Aru village. The trail takes
you into dense fir trees and further upward.
After sometime suddenly all the dense fir
tree vanishes and you end up in a clearing
near the Gujjar Huts, called Dalla. After
another half an hour of trek you cross two
water streams, you can refill your water
bottles here as these waters are straight out
from glaciers and is very safe to drink

trek is you get to camp right beside the
emerald blue lake, a perfect place to camp

interesting thing about the lake is that it starts
changing colors depending on the time of day,
season and if viewed from different angles
