Overnight stay in the tent campToday begins with an early start. The route of the day involves ascending the nameless pass, situated at an elevation of 3200 meters (10500 ft) above sea level. The climb will follow a broad gorge, occasionally featuring a well-trodden path. As we approach the pass's saddle, we'll navigate through sections with talus deposits. The pass offers a breathtaking view of Terensay Gorge and Sun Valley, nestled downstream of the Kora River.
Upon reaching the pass, we'll take a break for rest and lunch. Following this, we will descend into a spacious valley by a straightforward grassy slope and, at times, an excellent pathway. Once we arrive in the picturesque Sun Valley, we will establish a camp at the confluence of the Kora and Bala Kora rivers.

However, for those keen on observing wild animals, an early wake-up before dawn is recommended.

Our route will lead us up the gorge, tracing the banks of the Kora River. Along the way, we'll pause to rest and appreciate the surrounding nature. We'll have lunch at one of these picturesque stops. In the evening, we'll return to the camp to prepare dinner and have some rest.
