Start early with a jeep ride to Batal. The ride takes around 7 to 8 hours and goes via Atal Tunnel, Gramphoo and Chatru. Once at Batal, we will continue further for 5 kms until we reach a point which will offer us a traverse across Chatru river via a pulley based system, to reach HIMANSH resthouse. The resthouse of HIMANSH had been built to do a study of the nearby South Dakka Glacier and will mark it as the day’s camp.
We will start the day early and will move the entire camp to the base camp.The trek to the base camp does not involve much climbing and takes around 4 hours. The base camp marks the start of Miyar Glacier. Descent back to the base camp for overnight stay.
As part of a better acclimatization, we will do the load ferry first for the Advanced camp. The trek to the advance camp initially goes on the Miyar glacier and then follows the waterfall coming from the left side. The entire route is marked by moraines. We will descend back to the base camp for overnight stay.
We will start the ascent to the ABC with all rest of the equipment. One can spot the remains of the Aircraft which crashed in 1968 carrying almost a 100 soldiers. The view of the peak becomes clear from ABC and the route can be spotted. Overnight stay at Advance Base Camp.
We start the day early for the Col, which will act as the summit camp. The climb to the Col involves few sections of crevasses and it's mandatory to be roped at any moment from this time. We will establish the summit camp and prepare for next day's summit to CB 13.
We will start the summit push early in the morning by 3 AM. The climb involves a mixed terrain of ice and rock. With the help of the support team(who will fix the rope in most parts of the route) we will attempt the summit. Once at the summit we will spend a few minutes for photographs and descent to ABC. Overnight stay at ABC.
Participants can use the day to relax and revive themselves for the next day summit push of CB14.
We will start the day early by 5 AM for the summit push of CB14. Most part of the climb involves a moraine patch. The total climb takes around 7 hours for the peak and 4 hours to descend to ABC. Overnight stay at ABC.
We descend back to Base Camp from ABC and rest for the night.
Today we descended back to Batal where we stay for the night.

Nope. The expedition is only recommended for experienced climbers
CB13 and CB14 Expedition takes minimum of 13 days. Keep a couple of days extra in the start for better acclimatisation.
The best time for the expedition is September month.
The true summit of the peak lies at 20,551 feet.
The average temperature in the daytime will be 12°C to 18°C and in night it could be -10°C to 4°C.
CB13 and CB14 being above 6000 Meters presents a substantial level of challenge to all the climbers attempting it. Its always recommended to prepare well before going the expedition.
Stick to an hour training session at least a month before the expedition. Indulge in cardio based exercises and muscle strengthening.
There is no mobile connectivity in the trek except for the first day in Manali.
