Early morning Satish a local guide with 2 porters came to our room to take us to Bukki the Near by village where we starded our trek for 6 days to the Glacier. Ride to Bukki The distance is 37 Kms of cirss crossed road on the banks (true right) of Bhagirathi river. From Bukki road to Bukki (actual Hill top village ) is 2 Kms up hill . A suspension bridge led to the other side of Bhagarathi at Bhukki where the trek started. After an hour of steep climb we crossed Bukki village, the last habitation where people lived year round. The trek was more steep...more or less cirss cross climb ....we probably gain just a few hundred mtrs over Bukki . If I am not wrong- its alti is about 1650 mtrs. We took around 3.5 Hrs to reach Thela Base… passed all up hill climb with lot of bamak trees with red coloured eye catching flowers on our enroute to Thela base Tela was a small patch of not so flat land with small "Bugyals"( high altitude medows). Finally reached Thela base at 4.30 pm in the evening. Later at late 9.30 pm roti and dhal was prepared by our cooks Vishwanath and Ashish and Dinesh. That night was cold pleasant night . All of us had a good sleep.
