From Sassi, we travelled onwards in jeeps to the village of Dache (Dassu), located at roughly an altitude of 2400m. Ten minutes into this 17 km ride, heavy winds started blowing and when the rain came down, the jeep began to swing precariously. However, merciful nature allowed us to safely emerge after fifteen minutes, under a bright sun. The driver carefully maneuvered through risky turns, with drops of hundreds of meters on either side. We travelled through mostly barren topography, with occasionally stunning views of green pastures. These cultivated lands of the villagers amidst large brown mountains reflect the challenging living conditions in the region.
As the sun was setting, the camping site for the first day was reached after 2 hours of trekking alongside a man-made fresh water stream, on a soft pasture like ground.
