Day 4 - Balu ka Ghera to Shia Ghoru

Thus you will be leaving early today at about 5 am. The trek from Balu Ghera to Hamta Pass is a moderate climb; it takes about 4-5 hours to reach the top of Hamta pass. Up on reaching enjoy the spectacular view and nature around. Later we will descend to Shia Ghoru. Descend is steep and thus if there is an abundance of snow, one can slide down to reach Shia Ghoru.
