OFF TO BEAS KUND

THE WAY AHEAD......BEAS KUND IS LOCATED AT THE BASE OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN IN THE FAR CENTRE OF THE PIC..... TO REACH THERE WE WOULD HAVE TO TRAVERSE THIS MORAINE( LOOSE BOULDERS AND ROCKS WHICH MAKE UP THE BED OF A MELTED GLACIER) WHICH WOULD TAKE US APPROX. 1-1 1/2 HRS........ FOLLOWED BY WALK THORUGH A MEADOW ( 1/2 HRS) .........ASSUMING WE STAYED THERE FOR 1/2 HR. ............THIS PART OF THE TREK WOULD TAKE APPROX. 3-31/2 HRS.......AND IT WAS NEARING 3 PM NOW.......SO WE COULD ILL AFFORD THIS ADVENTURE BECAUSE FROM BAKAR TACH WE HAD A WALK OF ABOUT 3 HRS AT LEAST TO REACH DHUNDI.

SO WE WERE IN A CATCH 22 SITUATION AND WERE PRESENTED WITH A HOBSONS CHOICE........WITH A HEAVY HEART WE DECIDED TO TURN BACK........JUST WHEN WE WERE IN SIGHT OF OUR GOAL......BUT ONE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT DISCRETION IS THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR.......AND I AM SURE WE TOOK THE RIGHT DECISION........WE KEPT ON LOOKING AT THE ROCK CLIFF .....WISHFUL THOUGHTS FILLED OUR MIND........AND WE REALLY HAD TO TEAR OURSELVES AWAY FROM THIS HEAVENLY PLACE.........
