It is the first day so camp at Phuktse will help to prepare to trek the next day.
(2.30 Hrs up to top 1.30 Hrs top to Sumdo Camp) No strip climb but climbing down is a bit strip but not so bad like that of Zanskar. Camp site is beautiful by the lake, vast green pasture field, nomads camp, yak and other cattle Possible.
Trek along the village for about 30 minutes, Quite a big Village, Camp by the river green Pasture, close to the biggest monastery of the region Shachukul Gompa monastic festival mask dance of kagud sect on 11th and 12th July etc.
On the way visit a popular taktse gompa on a hill top. Around 70 steps to climb. Green camp site 500meter away from the road. But no vehicular movement in the evening.
On the way two small hamlets, at certain points we use jeep road but we can avoid it any way. We mostly use the ancient tread route. Green pasture is almost all the way, Small River flows the entire way. Camp site 500meter away from the small lake not so attractive.
This is the only day which may not be so interesting but at the end of the trek you visit the most popular Pangong Lake we can have tea break at the small community tea stall. But for the camp we trek for another half an hour leaving the lake aside. Due to in availability of fresh water and green camp site by the lake.
