Today's trail involves some descent sections, which will be a relief because the trail is quite challenging today. You'll be trekking along the Parvati river, scrambling over scree-covered trails, and doing some sections of river-crossing. There is also a pulley bridge which leans precariously sideways, which you'll have to cross. If you encounter rainy weather, this section can take a long time as you'll have to go slowly. You'll be surrounded by multi-colored flowers, greenery, rocky meadowlands and bridges, and you're unlikely to see too many people. You'll be camping in Thakur Kuan for the night.
