Summary
The trek begins from Munsyari, the fabled Kumoan town, reigned by the close Panchchuli peaks view. Winds its way into the Ralam Valley meadows strewn with sheep, flowers and wilderness. Beyond Ralam village we have the first glacier crossing with a high ascent Yankchuri base camp. That’s where the isolation begins. The next day we are crossing the Yankchuri pass into the Chaudhara glacier arena. Spectacular ring of high peaks with a trek across the glacier to the hidden Ralam Dhurra base camp next to the Chaudhara peak. After crossing the Ralam Dhurra pass into the Darma valley which entails a strange long descent along the Nipakchung glacier.
