About This Tour

The Sar Pass trek is one of Himachal Pradesh's best-loved adventures — a five-day loop that begins and ends in the riverside town of Kasol in the famed Parvati Valley. Topping out at 4,220m, ‘Sar’ takes its name from a small frozen lake near the pass, and the trek packs an extraordinary variety of terrain into a short window: thick pine and oak forest, the timeless hamlet of Grahan, rolling meadows at Min Thach, and the exposed alpine ridge of Nagaru.

The signature moment comes on summit day. After crossing the snow-bound Sar Pass, trekkers descend toward Biskeri Thach with a long, exhilarating glissade — a natural snow slide that has made this trek a favourite among first-time Himalayan adventurers and seasoned trekkers alike.

With its accessible difficulty, dramatic scenery and proximity to the laid-back culture of Kasol and Manikaran, Sar Pass is an ideal introduction to multi-day high-altitude trekking in Himachal. Our itinerary uses well-sited campsites, quality gear and experienced local trek leaders to keep the focus on the mountains.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Your Junegiri Yatra Sar Pass adventure kicks off at Kasol with a 9 AM assembly. After a wholesome breakfast and a briefing by our experienced trek leaders, you set off on the first leg — an 8 km trail through fragrant pine forests toward the charming Grahan Village. The path gradually steepens, introducing you to the raw terrain of the Parvati Valley and giving you a genuine feel of mountain trekking. At journey's end, Grahan Village welcomes you with warm hospitality, a hot dinner, and a restful overnight stay in a traditional homestay.

My first ever Himalayan trek and Sar Pass was perfect for it. The snow slide on summit day was pure joy. Great campsites and a trek leader who kept everyone motivated.

Five days, completely unplugged in the Parvati Valley. Grahan village felt frozen in time and the meadows at Min Thach were stunning. Highly recommend.

Well organized, safe and a lot of fun. The descent glissade is worth the whole trip. Good food at altitude too.

The Complete Guide to the Sar Pass Trek

Tucked into the Parvati Valley of Himachal Pradesh, the Sar Pass trek is a compact five-day adventure that has earned a cult following among Indian trekkers. It blends forest trails, traditional villages, high meadows and a genuinely exciting snow descent into a loop that starts and finishes in the backpacker town of Kasol.

What makes Sar Pass special

Few short treks offer this much variety. In a single trip you walk through the deodar forests above Kasol, sleep beside the centuries-old village of Grahan, camp on the open meadows of Min Thach, brave the windswept ridge at Nagaru, and then cross the snow-covered Sar Pass (4,220m) before the famous glissade slide toward Biskeri Thach.

Difficulty and who it suits

Sar Pass is graded moderate and is widely recommended as a first Himalayan trek. The terrain is non-technical, but summit day is long and the altitude is real — a base level of cardio fitness and the ability to walk for several hours on consecutive days will make the experience far more enjoyable.

Best season

Plan for May to June if you want maximum snow for the slide descent, or September to October for crisp post-monsoon visibility and green meadows. Avoid the July–August monsoon when trails are slippery and views are clouded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — Sar Pass is one of the best beginner-friendly Himalayan treks. It's graded moderate, the daily distances are manageable and no technical skills are needed. Reasonable fitness and the ability to walk 5–6 hours a day are enough. Summit day is the longest and most demanding.

The two seasons are May–June and September–October. May–June offers plenty of snow near the pass for the famous slide descent, while September–October brings clear post-monsoon skies and green meadows. The monsoon months are best avoided.

On summit day, after crossing Sar Pass, part of the descent toward Biskeri Thach is a natural snow slope you can slide down (glissade) in a controlled, guided manner. It's the trek's signature thrill — your trek leader briefs the group on safe technique beforehand.

Kasol is reached via Bhuntar (the nearest airport) or by an overnight bus from Delhi to Bhuntar/Kasol. We can advise on the best transport options and timings; transport to Kasol is not included in the trek fee.

Essentials include sturdy waterproof trekking shoes, warm layers (fleece and a down jacket), a waterproof outer layer, gloves, a cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, a 40–50L backpack, a water bottle and personal medication. We send a full packing list on booking.
