Sar Pass Trek Plan

From Kasol to Grahan village

Your journey to the Sar Pass trek begins in the heart of Kasol and continues along the actual left bank of the Grahan Nallah. Firstly, this part of the path is simple and well-traveled by locals, allowing you to cover a lot of ground in just a few hours. However, as one leaves the Grahan Nallah behind, the path becomes stony and climbs upward into the Rhododendron forest, away from the river’s right bank. For instance, the forest is filled with rhododendron petals, which are not only edible but can also be used to make a refreshing drink by mixing their syrup with water.

After that, an hour of strenuous climbing leads to Grahan settlement, which is the final inhabited village on this trek. Most importantly, from this point onward, there is no cell network, so staying connected becomes impossible. Therefore, it’s essential to prepare for this lack of connectivity beforehand. In conclusion, you can make your way to the hotel in Grahan for the night and rest before continuing the trek.

From Grahan village to Mung thach

As you open your eyes to a new day, you are greeted by the majestic sight of snow-capped mountains. After that, once you’ve had a substantial breakfast,set off north from the Grahan campground towards Mung Thach via the path often used by the villagers. For instance, this path provides glimpses of the daily lives of the locals. After some time, as you continue your trek, you will be able to see Sar Top, Nagaru, and Mung Thach on the mountain to your right.

However, the trek becomes more challenging as you hike up the rugged trail that disappears into the dense forest. Moreover, along with the steepening of the hill, the route also becomes more difficult in some spots. That is to say, this part of the journey tests your endurance. Subsequently, after making your way through the jungle, you will reach your day’s goal—Mung Thach.

From here, most importantly, the view is breathtaking, with the Chandrakhani range and other significant Himalayan peaks clearly visible. In addition, this vantage point allows you to appreciate the vastness of the landscape. In conclusion, spend the night in a jungle camp in Mung Thach, resting and preparing for the next phase of the trek.

Wake up to the sound of a crisp morning wind, a perfect way to begin the next leg of your journey. Afterwards, you’ll set off on the wooded trail that leads from Mung Thach to Nagaru.

Certainly, reaching the summit is an exhilarating moment, one that deserves to be savored. For example, you should remain at the summit for a short period to appreciate your success and snap some memorable photographs to capture the event in time.

Following that, you will begin the descent by sliding down to Biskeri, which is a thrilling experience.

In conclusion, spend the night in Biskeri Thach, reflecting on the incredible journey so far. Above all, take time to enjoy the serenity of this beautiful campsite before preparing for the next leg of your adventure.

From Biskeri thach to Kasol

Firstly, admire the breathtaking panorama that Biskeri has to offer, which includes the pine woods, towering mountains, and lush green meadows. To descend, you will need to trek over a steep piece of ground that is surrounded by a fence. After that, once you have traversed the thick woodland, you will come across a brook with a campground on the other side.

To clarify, the twin towns of Pulga and Tulga are divided by a creek, and the route leading to the hamlet of Pulga is located to the left of the existing campground. Subsequently, the settlement of Barshaini can be reached by crossing a bridge over the Parvati River, which is located in Tulga.
