Trekkers take deep snow pit stop while climbing atop Kalindi Khal in Himalaya: 19K feet altitude

Trekkers pause in a deep snowpack at Kalindi Khal, a high‑altitude pass near 19,500 ft in the Garhwal Himalaya, to rest and set up tents. They navigate near‑white out conditions, crossing the Shweta glacier and the Raj Parav glacier, and camp on a rocky moraine beside the glacier, enduring heavy rainfall, sleet, and cloudy weather. The team also assists a climber suffering from high‑altitude pulmonary oedema during the trek.
