Descrizione:

The footage follows a trekking team as they set up a camp on a rocky glacial shelf above the Raj Parav glacier while en route to Kalindi Khal pass in the Garhwal Himalaya. They unpack sleeping bags, secure tents with guy ropes, and cross the Shweta glacier before descending the Raj Parav glacier. The team camps on a thin ridge of rock and boulders beside a glacier with deep crevasses, enduring heavy monsoon rainfall, sleet, and cloudy weather. The film also shows a rescue of a climber suffering from high‑altitude pulmonary oedema, who is helped down by the roped group. The narrative highlights the harsh conditions of the high‑altitude pass, its glaciated terrain, and the historical significance of Kalindi Khal as a key route between Gangotri and Ghatoli.
