Drove Bertha the Mahindra Truck to her usual limit of exploitation, 8km up-valley from BC (a progression from 4900m to 5100m) and then deployed on foot carrying enormous loads.
Slow and steady 3+ hours up the Zara valley until we reached confluence of headwaters and a marginally less exposed nook (5300m) where we made camp (3 Mtn Hardwear tents and in our case, 3 per tent)
V remote and beautiful location.
