Why Gupt Khal trek makes it difficult for people without experience?

It is said that this is mentioned by Mr. Frank Smyth in his book ‘Valley of Flowers’.

From the Valley of Flowers, you trek crosses the twin passes of Bhuindar Khal Trek and Gupt Khal Trek. From here you will also see the mountain range of Himalayas and you have to cross all the glaciers in this trek like Gauri Glacier, and Ratan Glacier, and Tipra Glacier, Bankund Glacier, Nilgiri Glacier, and Nakhtani Glacier.

This trek is difficult as well as secret, and for this trek and expedition you must have the experience, basic knowledge of your previous mountaineering becomes necessary for this trek. In some Gupt Khal trek, at some places, deep cracks will be broken glaciers and technical equipment will be needed to cross this trek. From this trek, you will see the high altitudes like Shri Neelkanth Peak, Elephant Peak, Nilgiri Peak, Ratan Peak and, Kamet The peaks will be closely visible and offer spectacular views.

Note: – Whenever you do this trek, Do it with the local people here or with experienced people like us who are local here. Whoever can help you from the local here, no one else can give you, and it will be useful for you all the time. This is why we have to say that sometimes there are seasonal changes in nature, for which we all have to be ready, this is the law of adventure.
