(Trekking begins from Ghat) For the first half of the day the trail goes along the river. After lunch it starts to climb up away from the river, some parts being quite steep. We camp just above the fairly large village of Ramni in a nice grassy patch and visit the village in the evening.

The trail starts climbing up to the pass and crosses many small tributary rivers and waterfalls including one which offers a great opportunity for a shower! After a steady climb we arrive at the small Ramni Pass (3060 m) which offers views of the Kuari Pass. We descend gradually to the grazing meadows of Sem Kharak. Overnight camp.

From Sem kharak we descend to the suspension bridge over the Birthi Ganga and then climb again to another prosperous village, Pana. Overnight camp.

A few ascents, descents and traverses bring us close to the foot of the Kuari Pass. The trail comes out above the tree line and goes through grazing grounds into meadow country to reach Dhakwani.
