Once you reach the village below the tower, the zigzag trail climbs steeply till we reach the Lagcha village. From the village the trail eases a bit and in an hour’s time, walking through the forest we reach a meadow below Rangthar. It is an open place with good views and we setup our camp here. The Rangthar meadow is another half an hour’s trek from here, but due to big bushes we don’t go there. There is no river to follow along this trail. So availability of water is a major concern and needs to be kept in mind while setting up the camp. Stay in tents.

Payments, Cancellations and Refunds
The adventure activities in Himalaya take place in remote areas with limited or no resources. Be it Trekking, Camping, Jeep Safaris, Motorcycling, Cycling etc, all of these activities require detailed planning both by the individual doing these activities or by the people who are offering/ facilitating the conduct of these activities. The plans and all arrangements for a safe and pleasant trip are made months in advance.
However, there are many issues which are beyond the control of the individual participating in an event or the firm organizing the event. Some of the factors beyond our control like inclement weather, bad terrain, strikes, washed away roads/ trails etc. Also events like civil disturbance, strike etc.
In view of the above, the individual participant or the firm may have to cancel/ postpone the event or may have to change the itinerary of the event. In such a situation we need to be clear about the payments, cancellations and refunds. For details visit Payments, Cancellations and Refunds.
