They made their base camp at Raktavarn glacier 4500m via Gangotri, Gomukh and then set up their camp 1 at Shyamvarn Bamak at 5100m and further up camp 2. After acclimatization for a couple of days, they made their summit attempt on October 20 at midnight 2 a.m. and reached their summit at 11 a.m. in the afternoon and descended through the west-southwest ridge.[3]
