Itinerary description
Quick hike to see the views of the valley and the Gangapurna's lake and glacier.
The last part of the hike follows no path. We bordered the lake trying to get closer to the glacier. The route is dangerous as it follows the border of the lake right below a big wall of sandy earth and huge boulders. I wouldn't recommend going there when it's raining as there is a risk of landslides.
After bordering the lake you reach its river which can be followed up to the glacier (we stopped before reaching it).
