How about a trek where you do not ascend, a trek where you can stay in the night on the rock-bed near water-pond?
How about making khichdi together with minimal available resources, a fun in a bunch of lovely people?
2km long deep inside valley, 2 rappelling patches, Natural Water pond at the base and 2 hrs of trek. How about it?
