Altitude weather delta

High 3,374 m minus low 2,346 m is 1,028 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 6.7 °C cooler at the high point than the valley, all else equal.

That is a model (International Standard Atmosphere environmental lapse), not a forecast and not a trail-closure. Wind, snow, and storms stay in Hazards.

Stored distance is 10.76 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (10.18 km), not the published line length.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 12155768 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-18). Water and season were not sourced. SAC is OSM-sourced hiking (T1, ODbL, lastVerified 2026-09-18); YDS is the site cross-walk, still provisional.

OSM 2D length is 10.76 km (OSM line, ODbL, relation 12155768, lastVerified 2026-09-18). Provisional — OSM line, no cited itinerary. OSM name=Lohajung-Brahmatal. MERGE page: Jatropani 8168307 is an absorbed branched network, not this measured line.

High 3,374 m is Copernicus GLO-30 (lastVerified 2026-09-18). Wikipedia cites 3,734 m (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmatal, accessed 2026-09-18, CC BY-SA) — Δ360 m; geometry may stop short of the cited high. Record the DEM high; treat 3,734 m as a landmark, not this figure. Low 2,346 m is the same DEM resample, verified. Ascent 1,081 m / descent 199 m remain provisional DEM.

Permit is Unverified (not sourced from OSM or an official tariff; source notes 2026-09-18). Confirm officially before travel. Season is unknown. Water was not mapped to named WaterSource points.
