Nagala - Western conquer! July 4 and July 5 By CTC

This time we will be traversing through less known Western side of Nagala. The plan is start on Saturday early morning and start climbing Nagala from western side. We will eventually reach a pool by evening. We will camp there and start descending the same way or the other way to make it more interesting.

This is supposed to be more scenic. This will be a unknown trial and expecting different challenges. High steep rocks, boulders and streams will always give way to CTCians.

The seats are limited and it will be really tough trek. Each one needs to carry atleast 4 litres of water along with other food items.
