The Sar Pass Trek journey begins with an 8 km drive from the beautiful mountain village of Kasol to Grahan Stop, followed by a 2 km steep ascent to Grahan Village in Himachal Pradesh. Grahan Village is renowned for its enchanting evergreen forests and creeks, nestled beside the gushing Parvati River. Our trek leader and team will meet you in Kasol, where you'll have a brief introduction with teammates and receive instructions before embarking on the trek. The journey commences with an 8 km drive to Grahan Stop. Upon reaching the last road point at Grahan Stop, we'll commence the 2 km steep ascent to Grahan Village, our first-day campsite. The initial part of the trail passes through dense coniferous forests and the aroma of the pine trees will invade your senses as you walk through the forest.

After walking through the forested patch for some time, the forests will eventually give way to grasslands and you can see some local vendors with their tea stalls. These stalls also sell Rhododendron syrup, which is mixed with water to make a very refreshing drink. Grahan village is not very far. From here, it is about a steep climb of one hour before you enter the picturesque village setting.

Grahan is situated at the top of a hill and we will camp here for the night. Mobile coverage is sometimes available in Grahan but it is very erratic. The campsite is surrounded by Rhododendron trees making it look even more beautiful. After having a delicious lunch at the campsite, you can go about exploring the quaint village and its surroundings. The pleasantness of the scenery with the beautiful mountain views will captivate you. After a delectable dinner, you will retire to your tents ending the first day of trekking.

Grahan To Min Thach

Today we will trek to Min Thach, a beautiful meadow that falls en route to your trek. To reach Min Thach, we will follow the trail that goes north from our campsite at Grahan, this path will lead you to Min Thach. We will start our trek post a hearty breakfast at the Grahan campsite.

After walking for some time, wonderful mountain views begin to open up and the trail to Min Thach will be on your right. The climb to the meadow is a little steep and sometimes the trail becomes a little confusing, follow your trek leader’s instructions during these confusing patches. After walking for a few hours through the dense forests, it will open into a grassy ridge, this is Min Thach clearing and we will find a proper location here and pitch our tents for an overnight stay. Min Thach is usually used by locals to graze their cattle.

On the northwest side, you will get views of Chanderkhani and its adjoining mountain ranges stretching across the horizon. In the southeast, it is lined with dense evergreen forests. Sometimes there are also seasonal vendor stalls that sell tea, coffee, and the like. There’s also a water source in the form of a tap, and you will get potable water here. This is a good place to camp as the ridge protects the tents against strong winds.  Also, having a day between Grahan and Nagaru campsite allows for the body to acclimatize well to the weather and the altitude. Sunset and sunrise views are especially beautiful here. Once you reach the campsite, relax and enjoy a beautiful sunset over the snow-clad mountains. After a hot dinner at the campsite, you will end the day and retire in your tents.

Min Thach To Nagaru

From Min Thach, you get glimpses of Nagaru and it doesn’t seem all that far but we are not going to take the straight ridge path to Nagaru, rather the trail entwines up towards the south and follows into the woods. Depending on the time you are visiting the trek, you may find patches of snow on the trail. It’s a good idea to start early as most of the time the weather remains favorable up until noon, post which it can be unpredictable. So, we will start out early today. 

After walking some time through the forests, you will climb onto another ridge, this one is quite a bit rocky and overlooks the meadow down below. You have to take the left on the ridge, and it becomes pretty steep here. Nagaru sits atop a cliff that you have to ascend to reach the campsite. Follow the trail, it is pretty well marked here and after some time the tree line recedes and grassy patches begin to open up. If you are trekking in a season when there is snow on the trail then you have to be really careful as the snow can make the trek pretty tricky and slippery. Exercise extra caution and follow your guide’s instructions to avoid any mishap. Waterproof gloves and an ice axe can be helpful in these places.

After a couple of hours of trekking through varied terrains, you will arrive at a flatland on the top of a hill, this is Nagaru. As soon as you reach Nagaru, you will be totally amazed by the sight lying ahead of you. All of a sudden it seems like you have entered a different world from the one you have been trekking in so far! On the northern side, you can see the majestic mountains rising from the Parvati Valley down below. The Chanderkheni Ranges simply look magnificent and the Beas Valley with its greenery is amazing too. On your left, down below, you can see a bird’s eye view of Min Thach and Grahan village and to your south, you can see the vast expanse of snow up to the mountains. This is the direction you will trek in next to reach Sar Pass. The winds are very strong at Nagaru and the temperature drops pretty quickly so it is wise to set up the camps as soon as possible.

The nights here can be very chilly so have the appropriate layers on to protect yourself from the cold. After an early dinner, we will retire into the tents as the winds get stronger at night. Sleep well as tomorrow you will make your summit to Sar Pass.

Nagaru To Biskeri Thach Via Sar Pass

Today is an exciting day of trekking and also the longest trekking day. Today will head to Sar Pass! We will start the day early and wake up before dawn as we have a distance of 14 km to cover. The climb to the Pass is much like yesterday and you will use the same techniques. We will climb along the ridge line in a southward direction, there will be a couple of steep stretches that would test your physical and mental endurance. Keep a steady pace as you climb these stretches and cross the snow patches.

It is a bit easier to walk on the snow and the strikingly beautiful surroundings will take your tiredness away, and we are always there to motivate you along the way. From Nagaru, you can see a hill, and once you climb the hill another hill comes into view that we need to climb. The ridge becomes sharper and steeper and on one side the ridge falls steeply to the ridge below. Be very careful and cautious here. Crampons and ice axe will make walking on the snow easier.

Once you make it to the top of the hill after an arduous climb, you will forget all the struggles that you have faced because of the view lying in front of you. You have reached the summit at Sar Pass. You will observe a flag tied to a Trishul at the summit indicating that you have arrived at the summit. The pass has derived its name from ‘Sar’ meaning a ‘pond’ which lies at the top. The pond remains frozen till late summer. The beautiful peaks of the Tosh Valley greet you on the one the east and to the south, you can see snow-ensconced mountain peaks. There’s a sharp drop to a beautiful valley ahead of you, which you have to slide down as there is no other way to climb down. Soak in the heavenly beauty of the place before we slide down to the valley below.

The slide is harmless and really fun but also follow the team’s instructions to slide down properly. Keep all your loose materials in a bag and keep your legs tight together and do not dig into the snow. Also, keep your elbows firmly by the side and push your trunk back into the snow. The slide will take about a kilometer into a gentler slope in the valley and after walking for some time you will come across another slope though not as steep depending on the snow accumulated, you can choose to slide down once again till you reach level ground. Another slope will come not long after this. You can again cover this slope by sliding down. You will now reach a narrow valley with a beautiful meadow on the left, this is Biskeri Thach. There are a couple of stream crossings before you reach the meadows. This campsite presents the sublime beauty of pine forests and snow-covered mountains as the backdrop. There are lots of water streams beside the campsite, so you can refill your water here. There’s a water tap as well. You may even find network coverage for some networks as well. Tonight we will stay at Biskeri Thach and return to Kasol the following day.

Biskeri Thach To Barshaini And Drive Back To Kasol

Today is the last day of trekking in the mountains and also the last day of your wonderful journey to Sar Pass. Today is also a long walk and we have to cover a distance of 10 km downhill. From Biskeri Thach a steep path goes down below by the side of a stream. The trail ends at a fenced plot of land so you have to go through the land before you hop on the trail again.

Follow the trail and you will enter a dense forest, there are many trails here, follow the one that leads in the north-eastern direction. After walking through the forest for some time you will come across a stream crossing. Getting to the stream is pretty tricky as you have to rappel down some twenty feet of rock with a rope. You will then cross the stream on wooden planks laid across it and then climb up the path that leads to some campsites. The trail follows a water pipeline that takes you to Pulga village. Pulga and Tulga are twin villages that are separated by a stream. From Tulga, you will have to cross another bridge over the Parvati River to reach the village of Barshaini. The river is dammed ahead for a hydroelectric power project. 

Barshaini is the last village of Parvati Valley, which is connected by a road-head, albeit a bumpy one, and is often used as the road-head for treks like Kheerganga, Pin Parvati Pass, Matalai Lake, etc. From Barshaini you will drive back to Kasol. Kasol is about 15 km approximately from Barshaini and it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hr to reach Kasol depending on the road conditions. Thus ends this wonderful trek with so many beautiful memories for you to cherish forever.

How To Reach

It is essential for everyone to arrive at Kasol (11:00 am)

Once you have reached the assembly point of the trek in Kasol, TTH will manage the rest of your travel arrangements, if you have opted for TTH's pick-up service, you can select this option during the booking process by adding it as an add-on.

Options to reach Kasol

1.  Take overnight bus to Kasol from Delhi or Chandigarh.

-Chandigarh to Kasol Bus: 10 hours.

-Delhi to Kasol Bus: 14 hours.

2. Take overnight bus to Kullu and then private taxi / shuttle bus service to Kasol

We always recommend going for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Kasol at 9 am positively.

3. You can take a flight to Bhuntar Airport (but we would not recommend it because of the high prices of the flight and very high chances of cancellations), Kasol is just a couple of hours away and you can easily get a bus or a private taxi till there. If you do plan to come via Bhuntar, make sure to reach at least a day before the trek starts.

4. You can even come via train, Pathankot railway station is from where you can get direct buses to Kullu/Kasol that is 300 km from there and would take an overnight journey. Even in this case, reach a day before at Kasol.

Taking a flight to Chandigarh Airport and then travelling by bus to Kasol is the best option.

( If you prefer to travel independently, you can either take a government bus or book a private cab. Your trek coordinator will provide guidance on how to arrange for the bus or cab booking. )

Trekkers will be dropped at Kasol in between 4 to 6 pm. Taxi waiting charges will be applicable if want to visit Gurudwara Sahib Manikaran and hot spring.

In the unlikely event that TTH cancels a trek prior to the scheduled departure date:

While it is extremely rare for TTH to cancel a trek, we understand that unforeseen circumstances or natural disasters may occasionally require us to do so before the scheduled departure. These circumstances could include continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that poses a risk to the safety of our trekkers. Additionally, unforeseeable events such as local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any similar situations that compromise the safety of the trekking experience may also necessitate a cancellation.

In the event of such a cancellation, TTH will provide you with a voucher equivalent to the amount you paid for the trek. This voucher can be redeemed for any of our treks within the next year, allowing you to still enjoy an adventure with us at a later date.

The issuance of a voucher is not applicable in situations where you are required to descend from the trek for any reason. The trek leader may make the decision to send you down from the trek due to factors such as insufficient fitness level, symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), high blood pressure, exceeding the designated turn-around-time, health concerns, or if you are found smoking, drinking, or violating the rules set for the trek. In such cases, the provision of a voucher does not apply.

In the rare event that TTH shifts a trek:

We would like to emphasize that weather conditions in high-altitude areas are highly unpredictable and can undergo sudden changes at any time, irrespective of the day. Additionally, circumstances beyond our control, such as natural disasters, political unrest, pandemics, and lockdowns, may impact the feasibility of conducting a trek. In cases where we are unable to proceed with an event due to such circumstances that are beyond our direct control, we will make every effort to provide you with an alternative trek that is safer and more suitable.

In such situations, we will issue a voucher to offset the cost difference between the originally scheduled trek and the alternative trek. This voucher can be redeemed at any time within one year from the date of issue. Please note that a refund fee or reimbursement of the cost difference is not applicable in these cases.

Physical Fitness: Ensure your child is physically fit. Engage them in regular exercise, outdoor activities, and hikes to build stamina and endurance. Hydration: Emphasize the importance of staying hydrated at high altitudes. Encourage your child to drink water regularly, even if they don't feel thirsty. Proper Nutrition: Provide a well-balanced diet with sufficient carbohydrates for energy and foods rich in iron to prevent altitude sickness. Adequate Sleep: Ensure your child gets enough sleep in the days leading up to the trek. Quality rest is crucial for altitude adaptation. Educate on Altitude Sickness: Teach your child about the symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headache, nausea, and dizziness. Encourage them to communicate any discomfort immediately. Appropriate Clothing and Gear: Dress your child in layers to adjust to changing temperatures. Ensure they have appropriate trekking gear, including sturdy footwear. Positive Mindset: Foster a positive mindset. Encourage your child, and let them know it's okay to take breaks when needed. Medical Check-Up: Schedule a medical check-up before the trek to ensure your child is fit for high-altitude activities. Consult with a healthcare professional about any potential health concerns.

Kind of food will be served during the trek for children.

TTH takes special care to provide wholesome and nutritious food for children on treks. Here are some of the foods that are typically served for children: Breakfast: For breakfast, TTH serves a variety of options like porridge, cornflakes, bread, butter, jam, honey, boiled eggs, omelettes, and pancakes.

How to choose the right trek?

Choosing the right trek for a beginner can be a bit overwhelming as there are many factors to consider such as distance, elevation gain, terrain difficulty, weather, and time of year. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right trek for a beginner:

1. Determine fitness level:  Assess the fitness level of the beginner to understand their physical capabilities. This will help you select a trek that is challenging but not too difficult.

2. Choose a well-traveled trail:  A well-traveled trail will have more amenities such as signposts, water stations, and shelter. It is also safer as there will be other hikers on the trail.

3. Consider the length of the trek:  For beginners, it is recommended to start with a shorter trek that can be completed in a day or two. This will help them get acclimatized to trekking and build their confidence.

4. Look for gradual elevation gain:  Choose a trek with a gradual elevation gain rather than steep ascents. This will make the trek easier and more enjoyable.

5. Check the weather:  Check the weather forecast before selecting a trek. Avoid treks during the monsoon season or winter when the trails can be slippery or dangerous.

6. Research the trail:  Read about the trail to get an idea of the terrain, altitude, and difficulty level. This will help you select a trek that is suitable for the beginner.

7. Consult with an expert:  If you are unsure about which trek to choose, consult our trek expert Mr. Nitin (+91 70600 59773) between 10 AM to 6 PM (Tuesday - Friday). Mr. Nitin will provide you valuable advice and guidance.

Overall, it is important to choose a trek that is enjoyable, challenging but not too difficult, and suitable for the beginner's fitness level and experience.

Can a beginner choose a tough trek?

It is not recommended for a beginner to choose a difficult Himalayan trek. Trekking in the Himalayas can be physically and mentally challenging, especially if you are not used to the high altitude, steep slopes, and rugged terrain. Choosing a difficult trek without the proper experience, fitness level, and preparation can be dangerous and put you at risk of altitude sickness, injury, and other hazards.

If you are a beginner, it is recommended to start with an easier trek and gradually build up your skills and experience. This will help you understand the challenges of trekking in the Himalayas, and also prepare you physically and mentally for a more difficult trek in the future. It is also important to choose a trek that matches your fitness level, experience, and interest.

What is the age limit for a beginner trekker?

There is no specific age limit for a beginner trekker. However, it is important to consider your physical fitness, health condition, and personal interests before embarking on a trek. Trekking in the Himalayas can be physically and mentally demanding, and requires a certain level of physical fitness and endurance.

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are above a certain age, it is recommended to consult with a doctor before embarking on a trek. It is also important to listen to your body and take breaks as needed during the trek to prevent exhaustion or injury.

If I am solo, can I join the trek in a group?

Yes, you can join the trek. We have fixed departure groups where you can simply book your trek and we will take care of curating a group.

How does my family get updated about my Trek?

Before you start the trek, it is recommended that you make all the necessary phone calls as during the trek you may or may not receive network coverage, once you come back to the Base Camp, you can reconnect with your family via phone once again. You can share your trek coordinator contact detail with your family members to get the latest updates about your trek batch.

What food can I expect?

At TTH, we provide wholesome and nutritious meals during the trek. The food is vegetarian and includes a variety of dishes such as rice, dal, vegetables, chapati, paratha, pasta, noodles, and soup. We also offer snacks such as biscuits, and salty, and dry fruits during the trek. Special dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten-free, or Jain food can also be arranged if informed in advance.

I am allergic to some foods.

If you are allergic to some foods, you need to let us know in advance so that we can make arrangements accordingly.

How to reach the base camp of Kasol?

Bus: To reach Kasol, there are multiple transportation options available to you. If you prefer to travel by road, the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) operates regular buses from nearby states such as Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab. Within the state of Himachal Pradesh, the buses run between cities like Pathankot, Shimla, Kangra, Solan, and Dharamsala.

Train: In case you plan to travel by train, Pathankot serves as the nearest railhead which is approximately 150 km away from Kasol. You can choose to travel via Himsagar Express, Andaman Express, Ten Jammu Express, or Sarvodaya Express. Another option you can consider is Chandigarh, which is about 310 km away. From either of these railheads, you can hire taxis or private vehicles to reach Kasol.

Air: If you prefer air travel, the nearest airport to Kasol is Bhuntar Airport, which is almost 31 km away and located near Kullu. The airport is connected to three cities, namely Delhi, Pathankot, and Shimla. Upon arrival, you can hire local cabs or private vehicles to reach Kasol.

Do you want to explore the wilderness of forests, vast meadows, exotic villages, and snow-capped mountains? If yes, then the Sar Pass should be a no-brainer for you!

The SAR pass trek, in the stunning Parvati valley of Kullu District in Himachal Pradesh, is a beloved favorite among hikers and offers the chance to experience the breathtaking beauty of the region, including Kasol, Nagaru, Biskeri, and Manikaran. 

Sar, meaning pond, is often frozen until late summer and doesn’t fit the typical image of a mountain saddle to cross. From the pass, the view opens up to the east, revealing the towering peaks of the Tosh valley, while to the south, snow blankets the land and is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, including one that appears deceptively close. 

However, reaching it requires several hours of trekking and covering much distance to the next camp. SAR trek’s intricate topography and vast variations in altitude create a diverse ecosystem that supports a wide range of species, spanning from subtropical to alpine. The region’s predominant trees are of the conifer species, including deodar, pine, spruce, and fir. 

Additionally, the valley is home to several species of medicinal plants, such as Hath Panja (Dactylorhiza hatageria) and Brahma Kamal (Saussurea obvallata). Notably, the area also boasts wildlife such as the Himalayan brown bear and Himalayan Tahr, and is a habitat for prominent bird species like the Western Tragopan (the state bird of Himachal Pradesh) and the Monal pheasant.

Brief Itinerary

Detailed itinerary.

Arrive at Kasol (1,580M) and trek to Grahan (2,300M)

Distance: 8 kms trek

Duration: 5 hours

We assemble at Kasol market by 09:30 AM. Keep enough buffer time in your hand to reach Kasol; these roads are prone to jams and delays. If possible, get here a night before so that your day doesn’t feel too packed and rushed.

From the busy market, we turn a corner and reach the forest which is the starting point of the trek. Here, we do our briefing and distribute your rental + equipment. Packed lunch will be provided, too. There are enough water sources on the way today. We start our trek on the right side of a stream of glacial water which is going to be our companion throughout the day. Once in the forest, the temperature instantly drops by 5 degrees.

You will find small dhabas along the way which serve Maggi, rhododendron juice, biscuits and chai. The first six kilometres of today’s trail is a motorable road but with splashes of green everywhere. The last 2 kms is when we start to ascend on a walking trail to get to Grahan village. The first 6 kms should take us close to 3-4 hours to cover. And the last 2 kms of steep section with a 300M ascent should take us between 1-2 hours.

Expect to reach the homestay between 2 and 3 PM. Settle in and wait for the sunset magic to begin!

Grahan (2,300M) to Min Thatch (3,285M)

Distance: 4 kms

The ascent today is quite massive – close to a 1000M in a short distance of 4 kms. Remember to pace yourself and take it slow to avoid getting sick. We are walking through forests so thick, that you will see the sunlight visibly struggling to make its way to you. Spider webs gleam in the sparse sunlight like holograms. There are no water sources today, carry at least 2l of water with you as you start. 

We leave after breakfast at 9 AM. Once we cross the village, we descend for a short while from where we cross a small wooden bridge to get to the other side of the Grahan nalla – it is now all uphill from here. There is a dirt path leading us to Min Thatch. On the rocky, uneven ground, stones and the thick roots of the trees act as makeshift stairs – remember to exercise caution at every step. 

At the mark of 1 km, after an ascent of 180M, we reach a small clearing – a patch of almost flat land which is a welcome change. A kilometre and a half more from here, after an ascent of 450M, we reach a dhaba . Packed lunch is provided for today. You can also choose to indulge in some Maggi and omelettes at the dhaba . The food here tends to be a bit on the expensive side – check for prices before you order. 

We have half way more to go after this lunch point. The route is on similar terrain. In 2 more hours, we reach a massive meadow with a carpet of the brightest purple wildflowers you ever saw. This is Min Thatch ( thatch meaning meadows), our campsite for today, bordered by thick forests and rhododendron bushes to your right and a wide view of the valley and the skies to the left. The sunsets from here are glorious. 

Min Thatch (3,285M) to Nagaru (3,850M)

Distance: 3 kms

Duration: 3 hours

Today we are heading to the highest campsite of the Sar Pass Trek, Nagaru. We leave by 9 AM. After a 20M ascent, there’s a short patch of flat land. From here on, it is a steep uphill walk. Once we leave the campsite, we quickly cross through the end of treeline on this trek – enjoy the shade while you can because after the first 10 minutes, we are exposing ourselves to the full force of the sun and the winds. After 300M of ascent, we hit the first dhaba for today – this one serves Siddhu (a local Himachali delicacy) in addition to the regulars! We have packed lunch for today as well, but feel free to indulge in some mid-mountain hospitality. Shortly after the dhaba , we reach a section called ‘the rope point’. When there is ample snow, this 70 degrees steep section gets very slippery and very dangerous. We set up ropes at this point as a climbing aid and safety measure. When the landscape is dry, it can be crossed without ropes. After this ascent, follow the rhododendron bushes to stay on trail. After a continuous ascent of 450M, we reach a clearing. You can see the campsite from here. There are only some slippery slopes of ice between you and the safety of your tent now. 

The trek today is short but difficult because of the steep ascents. Depending on the season, the trail may be covered in snow or be barren. The campsite at Nagaru has snow at all times. Since it is a wide-open clearing, the winds here can get menacing, hold on to your tents at night! Views of endless rows of snowclad mountains of the Parvati range grace this campsite – the sunsets here are exceptional. The Pass from here is so close, you can see it from your tents!

Nagaru (3,850M) to Biskeri Thatch (3,400M) vis Sar Pass (4,223M)

Distance: 8 kms

Duration: 10 hours

Today is the day we reach the Pass we had been admiring since last evening. Even though it looks close, it takes 2-3 hours to get to. The distance is close to 1 km with a 300M gain in altitude. If we hope to catch the sunrise from the top, we leave by 3 AM and start the climb in darkness – expedition style! Get your head torch ready, put on your gaiters and microspikes and be ready by 02:30 AM. We fill our bottles, have some breakfast under the stars and leave. The 2-3 hour ascent is in snow, it is an uphill climb which is quite steep. Take it slow but keep moving to avoid your body from getting cold. We make it to the top of the Pass just as the peaks of Parvati Valley start to take on a golden hue. There’s nothing like the alpenglow of dawn to get the best photos of this wide landscape. In this world of white, take some time to look over and identify some popular peaks. We leave after spending an hour at the top. 

The main challenge of the day is the long descent to Biskeri Thatch, our campsite for today. After we cross the massive snow field that is Sar Pass, we descend down for a bit. The path takes us horizontally across the mountain on quite an angled slope. There is one more steep ascent left for the day – the one to Biskeri Top that is almost at the same height as the Pass. After we make our descent and traverse across mountains on a narrow path, we make the steep ascent over slippery terrain all the way to Biskeri Top. This half a kilometre of stretch will only take about 15 minutes to cover but it will definitely knock the air out of us! Once at the top, it is only downhill from here. When it is snowy, we can slide down and save our legs some effort but when the snow has receded, we have to walk down this long slope. 

At 4.5 kms, we reach the last dhaba on our trail. From here the route gets easier. Thick with rhododendrons, it is a pleasant walk all the way to Biskeri Thatch. It is a campsite amongst tall trees and singing birds – our last night in tents. The snow-clad mountains give way to jagged, rocky peaks. Welcome to warmth!

Biskeri Thatch (3,400M) to Barshaini (2,210M) and drive back to Kasol (1,580M)

Distance: 5 kms

Today is our last day on the Sar Pass trek. The trail is all downhill through pine forests. The descent is easy towards Pulga and across Parvati River to reach the village of Barshaini. Our team will be waiting at Barshaini to drive you to Kasol. It is a two hour drive - expect to reach Kasol by late afternoon. Plan your journey ahead accordingly.

Small Group Size

Our batch sizes are capped at 15 for smaller treks with the trek leader and trekker ratio of 1:8. This ratio, in our years of experience, has proven to deliver the best trekking experience for individuals as well as groups. Capping the size of the group ensures individual attention to each trekker so that no signs of distress or need during the trek go unnoticed. It also helps to form a more cohesive cohort with better group energy which helps define the rhythm and pace of days on the trek. As you go higher up on the BRS scale, since the stakes are higher, expeditions have an even smaller group size with the ratio of expedition leader to climber set at 1:2.

Qualified Trek Leaders

We follow a rigorous regime of hiring and training our experts in the field. Each trek leader is a certified mountaineer with years of experience in the field. In addition to their qualification, they also go through practical and situational training to tackle any and all kinds of sudden conditions that may present themselves on the ground. Being unpredictable is the core nature of the mountains but being ready for any circumstance as best as possible is a controllable asset that we try to nurture. Our field experts are also trained in basic medicine and first-aid response. Watch: Forerunners - The Making of A Trek Leader At Bikat Adventures

Our on-ground training modules are designed to handhold you through the upskilling process so that you are ready to take on bigger challenges.

Equipment Quality and Check

All the gear used on our treks and expeditions is tried and tested, maintained for good quality, and is overall top-notch in quality and condition. We are continually looking to obtain the best of everything there is in the market so as to ensure optimum safety.

Support Systems

Our background team also comprises local staff from each area who know the region best. Having local support helps with studying the area, pre-planning, execution, and in receiving timely support in case of emergencies in these remote locations.

At an altitude of 13,850ft Sar Pass Trek has one of the most beautiful trekking trails consisting of cascading waterfalls, lush green valleys and the pristine Parvati river. It is also one of the most popular treks in the months of May and June, and you can easily do it while you’re in Kasol or Parvati valley. If you are planning to visit Kasol anytime soon then you might want to take a look at Sar Pass Trek as well. It's a paradise for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike. The Sar Pass Trek starts from the quaint Grahan village, which is a tiny hamlet a few kilometers away from Kasol, and surrounded by beautiful Rhododendrons trees. Many people who visit Kasol are unaware of this peaceful village and it remains a hidden gem of Himachal where peace still exists. The best part about this trek is that you get to explore the nearby areas and get a glimpse at the diverse and rich Himachali culture. The people here lead slow paced lives and it's only when you are in close proximity to them do you actually understand just how much simple pleasures can make you feet content.  The Sar Pass trek offers many picturesque landscapes for you to marvel at. When you are traversing and on your way to the Biskeri Ridge, you will come across a small frozen lake given the name Sar which gives you the impression of being in a fairyland with its 100ft tall snow laden slopes that surround it. The trekking trail of Ming Thach is lined with dense forest and after traversing through it, you will get to witness the Great Himalayan ranges beckoning you closer.

Nagaru village is one site among the popular places to visit in Kasol. After we cross this  charming village, we will be staring at a spectacular view of Parvati valley with its vast expanse of green land, surrounded by majestic mountains.  The fifth day on the Sar Pass trek awaits with the longest trekking round among all the other days. While you’ll probably be out of breath, it's a sure thing that it will all be worth it for the snow slide, the Rhododendron forests and the views of the Tosh valley will get etched in your mind.  A fun fact about the Sar Pass trek, it's a mountain ridge rather than being an actual pass but still, the name suggests otherwise. With the Parvati river flowing alongside it, the scenic views of the pass are simply exquisite and makes the experience of overcoming all the hurdles even more redeeming.  The sublime feeling of camping at the Biskeri Thach is indescribable.  Pine forests speckled all over the majestic mountains make you feel as if you are in paradise and it's one of the best parts about the Sar Pass trek. Now on our way back to Kasol, we’ll go through the Pulga village and the Barshaini village which are two popular stops while on the Sar Pass Trek. And you get to be quite close to the Parvati river which flows relentlessly, where you get to experience the serenity that comes with being in the mountains.  To get the best experience of Sar Pass Trek one needs to choose the timing correctly. And the best time to go on the Sar Pass trek is during April and May. You will get to enjoy thick snow when you reach the higher altitudes and the weather in Sar Pass is extremely pleasant during these months. Time and again, people say that Sar Pass Trek is one of the most beautiful treks of India. The shift of the scenic view from forests to the meadows to the ice blankets is spectacular and manages to take your breath away.

When you slide down the slope from Sar Pass you will feel like you are riding a roller coaster. The trek serves best for any one who is looking to spend a few moments of peace with a little bit of adventure. Sar pass trek also makes up a perfect retreat as you can always take some time off in Kasol, and get a closer glimpse at the culture and lifestyle of people in the mountains. You can try the Israeli cuisine which Himachal is especially famous for and one of the reasons why many people prefer Sar Pass. For novice trekkers who want to traverse on different kinds of trails, and don’t have much experience, Sar pass trek is a great place to start although it’d be advisable for trekkers to maintain proper footing and mimic the walking pattern of other trekkers for proper caution.  You will come across thick pine forests, alpine meadows, charming villages, snow-capped mountains and stunning landscapes all in one place in the Sar Pass Trek. All these distinct terrains encompass a good trekking experience, making it an ideal choice for first timers. Not only is it easy but also gives you splendid views. The total trek distance comes to about 48 km and is close to a height of 14,000 ft where you will see views of the majestic mountains of the Parvati Valley from the pass. The frozen lake that Sar Pass gets its name from also makes up for a spectacular view. The temperature during the trek varies from 0 degrees to -20 degrees, depending greatly on time of the day. Even minute factors like being under the shade or in direct sunlight can significantly impact your body temperature for the Sar Pass trek so it's better to be prepared. 

One of the most popular treks in the Shivalik mountain ranges , the Sar Pass Trek still poses a challenge due to its altitude being 14,000ft above, making it one of the highest altitudes in Himachal Pradesh. And hence you need to be aware of your own bodily responses.

What our Clients Say About Us

Had an amazing experience while doing the Sar Pass trek solely because our trek leader Vishal was an amazing human being who understood the team we'll adapted to our capabilities. Some of us were slow, but that was never a problem for him, he just continued being his cheerful self and encouraged us to move on. Vishal also displayed proper planning and leadership skill.

Also here's a pic of Vishal so you can ask for him on your trek.
