Why is Sar Pass a Must-Do Trek?
- Sar Pass Trek has some of the most stunning views in the Indian Himalayas, from lush meadows to snow-covered peaks, every turn presents a new visual delight, making it a picturesque paradise for you.
- The Sar Pass, being at an impressive altitude, provides a jaw-dropping panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Standing at the pass, amid the vast meadows you get a sense of victory and awe at the vastness of nature.
- The slopes of snow / ice are the size of a massive mountain roller coaster and therefore allow trekkers to sit on their rear end, and to slide down hill for hundreds of meters at a time. The endless number of snow slides that you will experience on this trek constitutes the longest and most fun snow hill in the Indian Himalayas.
- The trail takes you through an impressive mix of landscapes, dense forests, alpine meadows, rocky terrain, and snow-covered paths.
- Trekking here allows you to witness diverse plant life, rare herbs, and wildlife like the Himalayan tahr, langurs, and various species of birds.
- Along the route, you’ll pass through picturesque locations like Grahan and Kasol. These places are rich in culture and offer a glimpse into the local way of life, with wooden houses, fields, and friendly locals who often share stories of the region.
- The silence of the mountains, the fresh air, and the serenity of the landscape bring a sense of calm, making the trek as much about inner growth as it is about exploring nature.
- The Sar Pass trek is located in the Parvati Valley, known for its natural beauty, spirituality, and rejuvenating environment. The crystal-clear Parvati River adds to the charm as you trek beside its serene waters.
- Grahan village is where the entire trekking trail has its cultural anchor and is one of the many places you will visit early in your trek through the Himalayas. Grahan has no motor vehicles so it has remained for over one hundred years to be what we call an unspoiled/cultural traditional Himachali village; completely unaffected by modern-day living.

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.
Grahan Village To Min Thach
- Altitude : Grahan Village: 2,350 m / 7,700 ft
- Min Thatch : 3,400 m / 11,150 ft
- Trek Distance : 8 km | 5-6 hrs.
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
- Altitude :
- Min Thatch : 3,400 m / 11,150 ft
- Nagaru : 3,800 m / 12,400 ft
- Trek Distance : 5 km | 4-5 hrs
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.
Nagaru To Biskeri Thach Via Sar Pass
- Altitude :
- Nagaru : 3,800 m / 12,400 ft
- Sar Pass : 4,200 m / 13,600 ft
- Biskeri Thach : 3,350 m / 11,000 ft
- Trek Distance :12 km | 7-8 hrs
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 12 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. 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 Pulga And Drive Back To Kasol
- Altitude :
- Biskeri Thach : 3,350 m / 11,000 ft
- Pulga : 2,400 m / 7,800 ft
- Trek Distance : 6 km | 4-5 hrs
- Drive Distance : 18 km | 1 hr
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 6 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. 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 Pulga you will drive back to Kasol. Kasol is about 18 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.

Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Kasol at 9 am positively.

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.
