Team Nature Knights has reached Joshimath traveling from Karnaprayag – nandprayag (914 m) , Chamoli (960 m), Pipalkoti (1259 m), Helong, Animath to Joshimath).

They are waiting for their batch of vehicles to get cleared. Vehicles are left in batches from Joshimath to Govindghat; as the road is too narrow and only one way traffic can pass; the vehicle bypass each other some where in the centre (**). The fist batch left at 6 am; out teams is taking the second batch of the day that is at 9 am. We have made up for some lost time; but still lost around 3 hours.

From Govidghat; team Nature Knights travel upto Ghangria (one day trek); via Pulna reaching an altitude of 3048 meters.
