    Follow the Tarsar stream; ascend gently on an uphill trail passing by multiple openings and cluster of conifers. From here descend to the riverbed and cross the river by hopping over a few boulders and then crossing a makeshift bridge.The pathway here is a pleasant one; After this, the ascent is a little steeper and as you gain altitude you will enter a forest of silver birch also known as Bhoj trees. You will reach a Y-point formed by the dividing ridge hiding the Tarsar lake. Shekwas is an undulating meadow-land, reached by meandering paths crossing two green valleys and surrounded by dark snow patched mountains. We set up camp here for the night. One of the best camping locations on the trail.
