Overview
About This Trek
The Sar Pass Trek is our signature trek — it starts right from our home village of Shilha in the Parvati Valley. Over five days, you walk through dense coniferous forests, open meadows where shepherds graze their flocks, and snow-covered terrain before crossing the pass at 4,200 m. From the top, the views stretch across the entire Parvati Valley and the surrounding Himalayan ranges. The descent takes you through Biskeri Thach and down to Barshaini. This is a trek that combines everything the valley has to offer — forest, snow, altitude, and village life.

The Journey
Day by Day
Day 1
Kasol to Shilha Village
1,640 m → 2,000 m
Arrive in Kasol and make your way to Shilha, our home village in the Parvati Valley. Settle in, prepare your gear, and get briefed on the trek ahead. Explore the village and acclimatise to the altitude.
Day 2
Shilha to Min Thach
8 km · 2,000 m → 3,400 m
Begin the ascent from Shilha through dense forests of deodar and oak. The trail climbs steadily through rhododendron groves, passing waterfalls and streams, before opening into the meadows of Min Thach — a beautiful grazing ground surrounded by towering peaks.
Day 3
Min Thach to Nagaru Top
5 km · 3,400 m → 3,800 m
Climb higher through alpine terrain, leaving the tree line behind. The landscape opens up to wide, snow-dusted meadows with views of surrounding peaks. Camp at Nagaru — the coldest and windiest camp, so bundle up.
Day 4
Nagaru to Biskari Thach via Sar Pass
12 km · 3,800 m → 4,200 m (pass) → 3,350 m (camp)
The summit day and the longest. Navigate snow fields to reach Sar Pass at 4,200 m with panoramic views of the Parvati Valley. Descend via a thrilling snow slide or walk down to the green meadows of Biskari Thach.
Day 5
Biskari Thach to Barshaini to Kasol
6 km trek + 15 km drive · 3,350 m → 1,700 m
Descend through pine forests and stream crossings to Barshaini. From there, a short drive or walk brings you back to Kasol. The trek ends here.
