Saifee expedition, October 1999
Bhojbasa was a terrific campsite for it offered
a magnificent view of the Bhagirathi peaks. Here the three Bhagirathi peaks
are seen from the trail leading to Bhojbasa (from
left Bhagirathi III, Bhagirathi II and Bhagirathi I). The climb to Bhagirathi
II is supposed to be very tough, especially the
bare granite wall below the right ridge. Climbers have to pitch a tent
on the wall suspended in midair where they spend a night before moving
on. I sure was glad we had settled for Saifee.
