Hike from Rolla to Shilt Hut

Enjoy breakfast consisting of paratha, bread with jam and butter, tea/coffee/milk, and fresh fruits. Decide where to camp for the day - Rolla or Shilt Hut - depending on your comfort.

As you reach Shilt, the forest gives way to a large meadow. Without the trees, the view becomes clear and lets you discover the Tirthan Valley and some magnificent peaks more than 5000 m high. Eat lunch consisting of roti-sabzi with salad. Unwind with high tea on reaching Rolla, consisting of soup, tea/coffee, and biscuits.
