Itinerary description

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH I CATALOG MY ROUTES IS REFERRED TO MOUNTAINS USED TO WALK, WHO UNWIND WITH FACE ON ALL THE LAND, NOT FOR OCCASIONAL HIKERS. IF YOU HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE, ADD ONE MORE DEGREE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF MY ROUTES SO YOU WILL NOT GET SURPRISES
Second stage of our trek in which we leave the Jhula Camp (Jhola), in the Dumordo river valley, to return to the main valley of the impressive and brave Braldu river. We have a beautiful day (unfortunately it will be an exception) with sun and a fairly pleasant temperature (for the heat that can be done during the day in this lower part of the trekking). Once we are in the main valley, we soon leave the also impressive Ching Kang valley to the right, which closes the massive Masherbrum massif to the southwest. Some clouds get in that obscure the heights of the Paiju peaks (which gives the name to our objective camp for the day) and the Urdukas peaks (at the foot of the Masherbrum to the north). In any case, the landscape is already great.
We saved several wading (facilitated with some stones) over rivers with very earthy waters, like those of all the rivers in the area. There are sections that we approach the main river (which cools the temperature) and others in which we gain some height to get a little away from it. Before arriving at the Paiju Camp we have to take off our shoes to wade a last torrent that goes down very rough at the time of the afternoon that it is (we will wade it back first thing in the morning with a much lower flow).
The views from the camp are impressive. In this camping area we will spend two nights to better acclimatize, something very important for the success of the trek.
