Going to solung valley by trekking on river side. Took 2 water bottls and had breakfast from the hotel which was complementary. I started by 10AM. I reached solung valley enterance by 1 PM. As soon as I reached solung valley enterance snow fall started. I continued walking towards solung valley to reach the peak point and continue to beas kund. But as soon as came near the peak point, all the roads were blocked completely because of the heavy snow fall. Had the famous maggie at the cross over bridge on the way as lunch. It costs around INR 50. I took the snow shoes and suit, INR 250(for whole suit) and INR 100 (only shoes) and continued to trek in the snow. But the snow was nearly to Knee level. My legs started to pain. So I had to stop my trekking. It was already 4PM . I thought of camping my own tent. Looked for a better spot. When i started making the tent, a local guy came and asked not to camp as it is not safe in this heavy snow fall. So I looked for hotels nearby in OYO. I found Holiday inn nearby and booked a room. As it was after the general room checkin timings the hotel room costed me less. I got it for INR 600. The room is so good with a great view. Images and videos attached. Dinner is provided by hotel. It costed me INR 60 for aalu parantha.

Trek in to the Himalayas. As we go on towards Dhundi, the snow reduced. Trekked for around 6-7hrs. I reached Dhundi. Then camped there and explored the place. As the place was too cold, i wasnt worried about the wild animals. But when asked few people while trekking yhey warned me. During my camping I heard few sounds, i was worried took a look into the dark with an torch. I suggest you to take atleast 2 torces or extra pair of batteries. During my trek i had lost access to my only torch as I was out of charge in batteries. Due to heavy road blocks and heavy snow. I had to change my destintion. I turned by early in the morning back to solang valley.
