The closest campsites to the lake are around 2.5 kilometres away; alternatively, go back to Battal, where a PWD rest house is still present but without power. Unless you wish to remain in the guest house with electricity, there is no use in doing the difficult trip back to Losar across Kunzum Pass. Save time and energy for the following day by staying the night at Battal.
