Today's Objective
🏔 Summit Parmar Valley Trail
Emerge from the deodar forest into open meadows. The valley opens dramatically — a wide bowl of high-altitude grassland with no trees and infinite sky. Wildflower density peaks here in May. Camp in the meadow bowl.
Key Landmarks
Staying At
Crossing the high-altitude pass bridges two distinct watershed systems, shifting the expedition over the glaciated divide and down into a new river basin.
