The experience

Come for the mountains.Stay for what they leave behind.

The Sar Pass Trek is one of the most rewarding summer treks in Himachal Pradesh, starting from the iconic backpacker hub of Kasol in the Parvati Valley. The name 'Sar' means lake in the local dialect — the pass is named after a small frozen lake encountered on the trail between Tila Lotni and Biskeri Ridge. Reaching 13,800 ft (4,200 m), this 48 km circuit offers everything a first-time high-altitude trekker could want: rhododendron forests, charming Himalayan villages, expansive alpine meadows, and a famous snow slide descent from the pass to Biskeri Thach that is the highlight of the entire experience. With stunning panoramas of the Greater Himalayas and Tosh Valley, Sar Pass remains one of India's most memorable beginner-to-intermediate snow treks.
