Day 2

After a long travel, we decided to pass Zojila pass to reach Zero Point also known as Gumri.
I had heared a lot about Zojila Pass and i was wondering it would be like touching skies but wasn't that high...😀 but still breathtaking view of Baltal was experienced!😍

Pavement on near Zojila Pass. As the road is highly unstable, these interlocking tiles are used to firm the grip!

Day 3

After staying for the night, we trekked to the famous Glacier called the Thajwas!
I was the first to reach the top of the Glacier, it was scary though coz i feared of getting trapped into the crevice as none of my friends were around!
After Thajwas we visited Naranag, which i am planning to visit again for trekking the famous lakes of our Valley.
It was our day back Home😊
