We will have to follow the trail alongside the River Lidder initially, which directly connect to the village up hill. From the village, the road will follow the agricultural departmental fence offering us a sophisticated and clear view of Aru behind
Day 3 : Lidderwat to Shekiwas (9124 ft. To 10699 ft) - Today, we would cover a distance of 6 – 7 kms in approximately 5 hours.

Here, the path to Tarsar takes us on a ridge on top of the stream.

First descent to Sumbal from Sonmasti and thence a drive to Srinagar so as to reach before dusk at around 5 pm! The descent to Sumbal is a lengthy one, therefore an early start will be much preferred. It would take around 5 hours to Sumbal.
