If you are planning to camp then this is the best option. You will also find plenty of wood for your fire camp. It's a lot less windy in this spot vs the peak. After the Big rock, the peak is around 1.6 km far. The trek trail is much steeper. This stretch is marked using a “purple colour” in the above map. You need to cross a small stretch of Sholla forest. Don’t try to take any shortcuts. Hardly 4 – 6 tents can be accommodated in the peak
