Adishi → Iprali, 24 July 2009








A day with many fantastic views, the crossing of a river on horseback, but ending in heavy rain. After about one hour from the start, we reached the Lardaadi glacier, which locals also refer to as the Adishi glacier. This glacier takes shape on the south slopes of the Tetnuldi-Adishi mountain range. It is the source of the Adishischala River which we crossed. The path took us towards the Chkhutnieri pass (2,720 m).

When crossing the pass it started raining, and it became worse and worse until we were soaked. We found abandoned hut with a wood-burning heater and cook stove and some firewood, so could get a little drier before we continued. But we were very relieved when we reached our host family in Iprali.
