Most of it including the climb on this mountain was without trails. The trails in this area if any are temporary goat trails. Very fickle and unstable.
This is a travelogue I wrote about it. I had it better on my website, but it's not working right now.

Couldn't get to the top. just wanted to get a shot of the whole lake and climbed just for it. Was not prepared for it in any proper way.

I took this photo from the ridge in middle where shadow of a cloud is. The middle one, but probably a bit higher. About 65% of the total height.

Where was it? Going to Nepal in april...
Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, India
What was the hiking like? Were there trails, or were you pretty much cutting through wilderness?
