Much of this day is spent trekking through dense forest, occasional glimpses of the Himalaya are had through the trees. The last part of the r oute to Yabuk is a stout climb. That night we camp in a meadow. From Yabuk the first section of the hike takes us over a boulder field to Sona Camp. This takes roughly 3 hours.
Sona camp consists of a small stone hut.
3 hours past Sona brings us to Green Lake. This is an extremely wild area, which has been visited by virtually no outsiders since the turn of the century. Lack of human presence means abundant wild life. Herds of Blue Sheep are quite common in this area. Green Lake itself is little more than a murky pond located not far from a section of the Zemu glacier.
