Day 3 - Laxmiban to Chakrateerth (13658 ft) - 9.5 km

The trail gets more challenging today. We will start with a sharp ascent through boulders and scree to SahastraDhar. As we climb up the valley, views of NIlkanth, Balakun and Chaukhamba open up. Once we reach SahastraDhar, we will cross a little stream and walk across a flat area with dozens of streams flowing and merging with each other. Then, we start traversing the left (true right) lateral moraine of the glacier coming down from Chaukhamba at the head of the valley. The trail climbs steeply again after SahastraDhar, followed by a short level walk across the upper snow slopes to reach our campsite at Chakrateerth. We will camp in Chakrateerth for the night.
