Today morning, we woke up with a hot cup of Himalayan black tea. After that, along with our trek leader, we practiced some light exercises followed by basic yoga and meditation in the calm mountains and enjoyed a delicious breakfast prepared by Trek Victorious' high-altitude mountain chef. After that, we were on our trail from the Grahan Village trek toward the north. The climb from here is gentle, often taken by the villagers to reach Min Thach. After walking through the meadows, you will come to a dense forest where the trek becomes a little steeper and more confusing. There will be some clearing in the forest to set up a tent at Min Thach. On reaching Trek Victorious campsites, we will be assisted to check into the camps, and the rest of the evening is at leisure, followed by evening tea and snacks, an evening briefing for the next day's plan, a delicious dinner, and a good night's sleep.
