Day 2
After breakfast at camp, begin the ascent from Triund towards Laka Glacier (via Snowline café / Laka Got meadow). The terrain becomes more rugged, moraine/rocky patches, possibly snow depending on season.
Distance: ~5-6 km from Triund to the glacier viewpoint (so total day might be 10–12 km if you count up & down) depending on route.
At Laka Glacier: Spend time appreciating the views, take photos, maybe short snow play (seasonal).
Return to Triund campsite in the evening. Overnight stay.
Tip:
The trek is steeper on this day — trekking poles can help.
Watch the weather: snow/melt makes paths slippery.
On seasonal snow, good footwear and grip matter.
Carry snacks & water for the day.

Stretch before descent; keep speed moderate to avoid slipping.
