Plodding through knee deep snow on a rocky steep slope to top of Kalindi Khal Pass in Uttarakhand

The video follows a long trek to the Kalindi Khal pass in Uttarakhand, where the team navigates knee‑deep snow on rocky scree slopes, sets up tents on a glacial shelf, and camps on a moraine ridge. They cross the Shweta glacier, descend the Raj Parav glacier, and endure heavy rainfall, sleet, and cloudy weather during the late monsoon season. The pass, at 5,950 m, connects the Gangotri and Alaknanda valleys and is heavily glaciated. The footage also shows a rescue of a climber suffering from high‑altitude pulmonary oedema, who is helped down by the roped group.
