Objective I: Climb Chandrashila peak enloy the sunrise.
Objective II: Trek down to Chopta and Start for Delhi
After a well disturbed night We wokeup around 3:30 AM as per our plan. Oop's IT was dammen cold outside I decided to stay back from the terk. Given a second Thougt i decided to go for it even though it was really hard to leave the warmth of bed.
All set to go 04:45 at Tungnath every one was shivering
After a bit of uncertainity as a dog who was garding other guest house prevented us form reaching our other team members and was not sure over who is gonna come who is not. At the end 8 decided to go and 3 to stay back, finaly we started @ 4:15 AM.
. Disaster struck the as we started, Shiv steped over a lose stone resulting in a nasty cramp he was force to stay back.
Now we had a new issue to tackel with no one from us knew the way up to Chandrashila. And it was pitch dark with only 2 Flashlights It seemed to be impossible one. But as a miracle the same dog who was a blockaed few moments ago turned to be an angel he voulenteered himself to guide us to the peak. With only two flash lights and bumpy slippery path and darkness it was a risky job for first half an hour.
Chowkamba peak before sunrise
As graduly gained hight we could see more flash lights flashing below means more people following us. Finally we reached the summit by 5:45 AM it is still dark and Sun was about to come up.
