Itinerary description
Highly recommended hike, we started from the Fifth Season hut - great place to stay overnight and start the hike early or just have lunch on your way down.
Limited visibility due to the weather conditions but still so picturesque.
We went up towards the Chaukri pass left side trail then from the base camp continued right to the top , better to cross the river at this point and go along left side as per the return trail (less steep & muddy). Didn’t complete the Chaukri pass due to the snow at the time & the weather suddenly changed. If you stay on the path and continue 30min/400m up you’ll reach to the pass.
Better to do the hike in Summer, mud, rain & snow in October made it harder to get to the top. Recommend this trail if you are in the area!

Perfect description!
We did it in winter so all the river crossing were quite different due to frozen rivers. So be careful if you want to do it in winter
