Unique experience of hiking to Ravali Kholi (3890 m)

So you must remember yesterday's journey where I and @naveen.jogta reached an unknown campsite. The height here is 3128 meters and from here the high Himalayan peaks are clearly visible. We spent many hours at this site, lost in the beauty of this place. By the way, let me tell you that we are going to Bhrigu Lake from where we will descend to Pandu Ropa, then Mori Dug and moving forward, we will cross the British Bridge and enter Kothi Village and end our journey in Solang Valley.

While walking from Solang Valley, we crossed Kothi Village and from here we bid goodbye to the road and welcomed the trail. We start walking on the trail from '14 Mod' at an altitude of 3000 meters, road work is going on here, so there have been many landslides on the trail. We enter a landslide, due to which our shoes get filled with mud but after a little effort we reach back to the right trail which will take us to Bhrigu lake.

It is now time to move ahead from the unknown campsite, we say bye to an uncle present here and move towards our destination. Moving ahead we find a herd of white horses which is basking in the sun while some horses are preparing themselves for winter by eating the last green grass of the season. Naveen is walking ahead of me while I am walking about 50 meters behind him. The next point on this trail will be Ravali Kholi from where we will touch a height of 4250 meters.

It seems as if a sheet of green grass is spread all around here, the view is very captivating. Such grasslands are called 'Thaach' in Himachal Pradesh while in Uttarakhand they are famous as 'Bugyal' and in English language such grasslands are called meadows. While walking, Naveen is posing like a hero while walking at a distance, while behind him Hanuman Tibba is encouraging Naveen's acting like a film director by saying "Good Job".

It has been more than 2 hours since we started walking and all our energy is now exhausted, so we stop and take a break. We eat the chocolates we brought with us and refill ourselves with energy by drinking a few sips of water. Naveen has his camera with which he is clicking amazing photos of the magnificent mountains. Moving ahead, we find a large herd of sheep and goats which are eating grass.

After talking to the Shepherd, we come to know that now this herd will go back down in a few days, because now the cold has also started increasing and it will also take about 14 days for them to reach back. We bid them bye and move ahead. Our water bottle is empty and the best way to refill it is from a natural water stream. We fill the bottle from a stream on the way and quench our thirst.

And finally after walking for 5 hours we reach Ravali Kholi campsite, which is at an altitude of 3890 meters. Nowadays winter has arrived in the entire Himalayas, so now very few hikers will come, so all the camps have been removed from here till the next season. There is still a stream flowing here which is coming from the top of the mountain. We sit here and enjoy the views before moving ahead. That's all for today's post, tomorrow I will present the next part of this journey in front of you.
