This has happened multiple times now and I think I need to learn my lesson. frown But the original group size was 6 then 3 then only me and then 2 people were added to my group. Now, it's only me again for the day hike on 23rd July with 3 permits. I was about to release the 2 permits but wanted to check if anybody wants to have them. My reasoning was to give a couple of people enough time to plan the trip instead of going there and hoping to get the permit. Let me know and I will not release them.

You could hang onto them through June, in case someone sees your offer here. But then release them in July so others can use them.

Your situation is really quite common. People invite their friends to do an epic hike, and it all sounds like a really good idea. But then when reality settles in, thinking about the time to train, expense and equipment procurement, the time and expense to go on the trip -- people bail left and right.

That is why there are no slots available for people to hike, but at the end of the day, there are still available unused permits due to the no-shows.

Abhijit:
Is your permit for one day going up, camping at Trail camp and second day summit and coming down? My cousin is interested. Just let me know details.
Thanks!

Krishna, I think it is for a day hike, not overnight.

Krishna,
Steve is right. It is for a day hike.
