You might want to check the exact sunset time for the day you plan to visit; in October it’s usually around 5 pm, so you’ll have just a few minutes of twilight after the lake. The trail is only about 2 km from the main road, so you can finish the walk and still have a short walk back to the parking area before dark. If you’re staying overnight, Satopanth The Auli Resort is only about 3 km away and has a lounge that opens later than Aaryam’s. Are you thinking of staying the night or just a quick visit?
