Again we start with crevassed edges to climb on the glacier and make a traverse to cross the glacier and exit the glacier at a lovely campsite surrounded by flowers, along a shallow stream of clear water, called as Shifang.
It is an easy walk along the BiafoGlacier which brings us to another superb campsite, where we enjoy a half-Day rest, which is necessary to climb gradually and for acclimatization.
En route, we have to cross the tail of Khannibasa glacier to arrive at the campsite.
