Descrizione:

The footage shows an emerald glacial lake surrounded by moraine rubble, captured from an aerial over‑flight of Vasuki Tal and the upper reaches of the glacier below. Climbers set up camp on the lake’s shores, trekking up the rocky moraine toward Kalindi Khal pass. The team assembles tents on a rocky glacial shelf above the Raj Parav glacier, preparing for a cold, windy night. After crossing the Shweta glacier, they descend the Raj Parav glacier on the other side of Kalindi Khal. The high‑altitude campsite sits on a thin ridge of rock and boulders beside a glacier with deep crevasses, filmed during the late monsoon season when heavy rainfall, sleet, and cloudy weather challenged the group. The pass, at 5,950 m, connects the Gangotri and Alaknanda valleys and is heavily glaciated, with the western glacier feeding the Gangotri Glacier that forms the source of the Ganges.
