• Altitude: 4,342 meters (14,245 feet)
• Distance: 12 km (Round trip)
• Duration: 7-8 hours

The second day is the most challenging and rewarding part of the trek. Start early, as the climb to Minkiani Pass requires both time and effort. The trail becomes steeper and more rugged as you ascend, with sections covered in loose rocks and occasional patches of snow. The air becomes thinner, making the climb more demanding, but the surrounding beauty keeps you motivated.

As you approach the pass, you'll be greeted by panoramic views of the Dhauladhar range, with its towering peaks and deep valleys stretching as far as the eye can see. The sense of accomplishment as you stand at 4,342 meters is unparalleled. Take time to soak in the views and capture the moment with photographs.

After spending some time at the pass, begin the descent back to Kareri Lake. The return journey is quicker, but care must be taken on the rocky sections. Upon reaching the lake, unwind and share stories of the day's adventure around a warm campfire.

Overnight Stay: Camp at Kareri Lake.

• Altitude: 2,950 meters (9,678 feet)
• Distance: 8 km
• Duration: 4-5 hours

On the final day, enjoy a leisurely breakfast by the lake before packing up and starting your descent. The trail back to Kareri village is familiar but offers a different perspective as you descend. The downhill walk is gentler on the legs, allowing you to fully appreciate the scenic beauty of the route.

As you approach Kareri village, take time to absorb the last views of the mountains and forests. The trek concludes upon arrival in the village, where you can celebrate the successful completion of your journey with your fellow trekkers and guides.
