We are all mountain-lovers here, so I’m going to be completely honest with you, because that’s what you deserve- so here goes nothing:
Mini Chandratal, visited on Day 4 of the Deo Tibba Base Camp trek, is, to put it quite frankly, a joke.
To use colorful figures of speech, it is little more than a glorified, high-altitude puddle. It’s as if some clumsy trekker reached the site and spilled some of their water on the rocks. I didn't even take my camera out to take a picture of it, and I take pictures of everything. So there, I said it.
We musn’t judge our puddle friend for its appearance though, because honestly, it has a lot of competition. Let me explain.
On Day 3 of the trek, you reach Tainta campsite, at an altitude of 3,900 meters. For three days, you’ve been climbing through a kaleidoscope of wildflowers, passing by towering waterfalls and ascending through fertile valleys to reach this base camp where true experts launch their summit attempts for the peak itself.
