May 28th: Base Camp, Kasol
We were woken up at 5.30 for the "bed tea". Quite cold it was. Hot tea felt nice. After a bit, we were taken to a small ground nearby for a PT session. Only made me realize how unfit my body had become. Vowed (a 10000th time) to keep myself fit no matter what. Post breakfast we were taken on an "acclimatization walk". A total height gain of 250m (love my watch!). Had fun. Sweated like a pig. Picked up as much thrash/litter as possible on the way which led to me being made the "Environment Leader" for the group. Back at the base camp around lunch time. Bathed in 10 degree water. Really was some experience. There was an orientation session where the Field Director told us about the trek, precautions to be taken, DOs and DONTs, etc.. Once that was over, we went for a walk around Kasol and I booked tickets for the Bhuntar to Delhi return trip. Another lame ass camp fire and we were done for the day.
