It was too dark by the time. It took around 2.5 hrs to descend. Plan accordingly . Anybody trailing in future for one day, make sure that you come down by 6:30 PM or so.
Overall an awesome trek just in one day. Very well organized and great trekking team. Made few good friends while on trek...keep in touch buddies and see ya on next trek.
