Kasol To Grahan Village

 The trek starts from the beautiful mountain village Kasol in Himachal Pradesh, which is known for its lovely evergreen forests and creeks. It is a picturesque village set beside the gushing Parvati River and the trail takes you to Grahan village, which is another scenic village approximately 10 km from the village of Kasol.  Our trek leader and the team will meet you at Kasol and after a round of brief introductions with teammates and some instructions the trek will start.

The trek gradient is very gradual, so it is effortless on your legs and knees and you can effortlessly make the trek today. You will start along the right bank of the Grahan Nallah and continue on the trail until it becomes a little rocky and you move far away from the right bank of the river, sometimes it may even feel like you are not on the right path but you are and keep continuing on the trail. 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. The pleasantness of the scenery with the beautiful mountain views will captivate you. After a delectable dinner, you will retire to your tents ending the first day of trekking.

Grahan To Min Thach

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

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. The winds are very strong at Nagaru and the temperature drops pretty quickly so it is wise to set up the camps as soon as possible.

The nights here can be very chilly so have the appropriate layers on to protect yourself from the cold. After an early dinner, we will retire into the tents as the winds get stronger at night. Sleep well as tomorrow you will make your summit to Sar Pass.

Nagaru To Biskeri Thach Via Sar Pass

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 14 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. Also, keep your elbows firmly by the side and push your trunk back 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 Barshaini And Drive Back To Kasol

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 10 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. Getting to the stream is pretty tricky as you have to rappel down some twenty feet of rock with a rope. 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 Tulga, you will have to cross another bridge over the Parvati River to reach the village of Barshaini. The river is dammed ahead for a hydroelectric power project. 

Barshaini is the last village of Parvati Valley, which is connected by a road-head, albeit a bumpy one, and is often used as the road-head for treks like Kheerganga, Pin Parvati Pass, Matalai Lake, etc. From Barshaini you will drive back to Kasol. Kasol is about 15 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.

How To Reach

It is essential for everyone to arrive at Kasol (11:00 am)

Once you have reached the assembly point of the trek in Kasol, TTH will manage the rest of your travel arrangements, if you have opted for TTH's pick-up service, you can select this option during the booking process by adding it as an add-on.

Options to reach Kasol

1.  Take overnight bus to Kasol from Delhi or Chandigarh.

-Chandigarh to Kasol Bus: 10 hours.

-Delhi to Kasol Bus: 14 hours.

2. Take overnight bus to Kullu and then private taxi / shuttle bus service to Kasol

We always recommend going for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Kasol at 9 am positively.

3. 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. If you do plan to come via Bhuntar, make sure to reach at least a day before the trek starts.

4. You can even come via train, Pathankot railway station is from where you can get direct buses to Kullu/Kasol that is 300 km from there and would take an overnight journey. Even in this case, reach a day before at Kasol.

Taking a flight to Chandigarh Airport and then travelling by bus to Kasol is the best option.

If you prefer to travel independently, you can either take a government bus or book a private cab. Your trek coordinator will provide guidance on how to arrange for the bus or cab booking.

Trekkers will be dropped at Kasol in between 4 to 6 pm. Taxi waiting charges will be applicable if want to visit Gurudwara Sahib Manikaran and hot spring.

My SAR PASS Trek with YHAI

I really wanted to push myself from my comfort zone & go for a real trek not a 1 or 2 days short trek but a real one & I am going solo that's also my first solo trip, I choose YHAI sar pass trek & This trek changed me, I found so much about myself. John Muir says it correct that "The mountains are calling and I must go."

I hop on HRTC bus that leave at 5:30 from kashmere gate in evening & reach kasol by 9:00 in the morning but there are so many buses from Delhi that goes till bhunter. so I reached at my base camp in the morning located in the amazing location and as you enter there is big area that is dinning area under the tent roof where we get morning breakfast, lunch, evening snacks & dinner then there is huge empty area in the middle of all tents where everyone can play, today is a free day for us & had already been to kasol so I decide to stay in camp & take rest.

Next day we woke up early in the morning & go for exercise though that was tough for me as I don't do any workout but the view on our way of jog is making me do it, well after exercise we all back to our camps, grab breakfast & then we have to stood in line & clap for the group who are leaving for trek, after that we will leave for our mini trek trail so that we all be prepared for what's coming next. There after reaching up we do introductions, make some protein drink & share it with everyone, prepare for our night in camp which is a ritual of YHAI. I am already loving the vibes here it's like I am in school again, we all get back to camps & our group did great, some people dance, some sing, some do poetry they are all fun & I am not feeling like I came solo.

Well this is our second day of training, we go to another mini trail to prepare for our trek & after that everyone goes to market to arrange everything for trek , well I choose to play some sport here in camp and give my body a proper rest before we leave for our adventure.

ON OUR WAY TO MINI TREK TRAIL

This is our day now, people are going to clap for us, we are leaving for our trek the new adventure is waiting for us. I am so happy that we are leaving the base camp today we have to trek 9kms & have to reach our first destination GRAHAN. Actually I am a little worried that how am I gonna trek as I don't do any workout it's going to be so difficult for me but the guides there they give you so much rest in between, you can enjoy your trek fully, I enjoyed watching birds there and the way to grahan is beautiful we all are getting close, sharing our foods & waters, helping each others we reached GRAHAN in 5hours & I am not tired, I am enjoying every bit of it the camp of grahan is so beautiful the paddy fields, the sunshine is all so beautiful I have never experienced anything like that & on our way to grahan I am actually become the centre of attraction, the funniest girl in our group and I didn't about that myself, I didn't know that I could be funny its true that if u come solo you can be anything you can discover all about yourself and I am loving that new me, I know that's sound so self love but it is I fell in love with myself. Though nothing good came single handy something bad also come along with it and there my worst nightmare insects inside our camps and we have to share our camp with them, when I say about leaving my comfort zone I am not sure I am talking about this and with my fear of insects & flies I became "MAKHI MAA" of our group.

New day and we have to move to our next destination, PADRI a 5kms trek from GRAHAN but a much difficult one and rain happens to make it more difficult we all are wet, our shoes are wet and worst our bags are wet, and so all the clothes inside it, but nothing can stop us to reach PADRI and conquer our only aim to make it to the top of SAR PASS, we move and stop and move,enjoying the flora & fauna, the birds and finally reach PADRI in 5hours and we still have so much time till the sun sets so we talked & enjoyed the view of waterfall. everyone from different places talking about their life's in cities it's all so different, so new to me, aha there I did something stupid, fun we collect the bones that are lying at some distance from our camp, we decided to join the bones & make a cow dragon and make it join the army of dead GAME OF THRONES people you understand what I am talking, though I failed but I am sure next group of YHAI will make it join army of dead. the sun sets so we have to be back at our camp, eat our dinner and STARGAZING is waiting for us, it was immensely beautiful, that was the first time I saw something like that, as living in Delhi, we are unaware from the beauty of sky.

OUR FAIL ATTEMPT TO MAKE COW DRAGON

LOOKING AT WATERFALL

It's time to leave that beautiful camp & move towards next camp which is MINGTACH at height of 11,600ft, that day was the most challenging for all of us its raining continuously and I am feeling feverish too and the distance we have to cover today is also more than rest of our days, everyone is tired, the path is slippery because of the rain and its quiet difficult to walk on that but we all manage & reach our camp, I am having fever others are exhausted & It's raining so everyone stayed in their camps only.

I am feeling good today also we have to reach our last top camp NAGARU, I really can't explain you how beautiful it was the distance is also not much, it was easy trek to NAGARU but the way from MINGTACH to NAGARU is the most beautiful of the whole trek as soon as we reached there everyone sit outside of the camp clicking pictures, enjoying the nature. I ll show you the pictures but this don't do any justice to the beauty of NAGARU camp.

OUR MINGTACH CAMP

WAY TO NAGARU

ITS THE RAIN

NAGARU CAMP

We woke up at 3:30 in the morning had our breakfast & packed our lunches, We are RANGERS & We are ready to conquer our final destination, to reach SARPASS finally we start walking at 5:00 & I have no idea when we reach sarpass but as soon we reach we are mesmerised by the view, the feeling of reaching at the top is something i had never imagined i guess that's why people come to mountains. after fulfilling our souls with the view we start moving downwards & to our next camp BISKERITATCH no one is not walking they are dancing, jumping with the happiness & excitement of successfully reaching sarpass we walked on snow do the short slide in snow & reached BISKERITATCH. I saw rainbow there and talked to the camp officer he was an ex- army officer & he gave me the idea of BUSY SUITCASES that's my page on instagram that's how sarpass changed my life.

MEET MY FAMILY, AT TOP OF SARPASS

ON OUR WAY TO BISKERITATCH

RESTING ON OUR WAY TO BISKERITATCH

RAINING OUTSIDE BISKERITATCH CAMP

Today we have to move towards our last camp of the trek BHANDAKTATCH, we packed our lunch & start our trek the trek from biskeri to bhandaktatch is 90% in dense forest which we never done before, every trek from one camp to another is different from another trek, every camp is beautiful from the last camp that's the beauty of camps of YHAI that you don't have to worry about your food or anything else they got you covered the only thing I don't like is the washrooms though washrooms are more of pits, camps were in height so they can't arrange washrooms there but you have to carry a bucket of water from distance & that's the problem in cold at least for me. We all reached our last camp spend the last night with each other talking, dancing, singing with a bonfire.

Last day of our trek today we reach kasol at our base camp & got certificate of our trek and I had to leave that day only but my soul stays there only, we all exchange GOODBYE & HUGS & promise each other to keep in touch.

I left with so many friends from all over INDIA.

How to reach the base camp of Kasol?

Bus: To reach Kasol, there are multiple transportation options available to you. If you prefer to travel by road, the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) operates regular buses from nearby states such as Delhi, Haryana, and Punjab. Within the state of Himachal Pradesh, the buses run between cities like Pathankot, Shimla, Kangra, Solan, and Dharamsala.

Train: In case you plan to travel by train, Pathankot serves as the nearest railhead which is approximately 150 km away from Kasol. You can choose to travel via Himsagar Express, Andaman Express, Ten Jammu Express, or Sarvodaya Express. Another option you can consider is Chandigarh, which is about 310 km away. From either of these railheads, you can hire taxis or private vehicles to reach Kasol.

Air: If you prefer air travel, the nearest airport to Kasol is Bhuntar Airport, which is almost 31 km away and located near Kullu. The airport is connected to three cities, namely Delhi, Pathankot, and Shimla. Upon arrival, you can hire local cabs or private vehicles to reach Kasol.

Do you want to explore the wilderness of forests, vast meadows, exotic villages, and snow-capped mountains? If yes, then the Sar Pass should be a no-brainer for you!

The SAR pass trek, in the stunning Parvati valley of Kullu District in Himachal Pradesh, is a beloved favorite among hikers and offers the chance to experience the breathtaking beauty of the region, including Kasol, Nagaru, Biskeri, and Manikaran. 

Sar, meaning pond, is often frozen until late summer and doesn’t fit the typical image of a mountain saddle to cross. From the pass, the view opens up to the east, revealing the towering peaks of the Tosh valley, while to the south, snow blankets the land and is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, including one that appears deceptively close. 

However, reaching it requires several hours of trekking and covering much distance to the next camp. SAR trek’s intricate topography and vast variations in altitude create a diverse ecosystem that supports a wide range of species, spanning from subtropical to alpine. The region’s predominant trees are of the conifer species, including deodar, pine, spruce, and fir. 

Additionally, the valley is home to several species of medicinal plants, such as Hath Panja (Dactylorhiza hatageria) and Brahma Kamal (Saussurea obvallata). Notably, the area also boasts wildlife such as the Himalayan brown bear and Himalayan Tahr, and is a habitat for prominent bird species like the Western Tragopan (the state bird of Himachal Pradesh) and the Monal pheasant.

The initial part of the Sar Pass trek is housed within stunning woods that seem like something right out of a fantasy movie. The scenery shifts from grassy meadows to the Winterland of Narnia midway through the trek! Patches of green and brown are veiled under a layer of powdery snow. The last hour or two of the trek to the main Sar Pass is the most thrilling part, as the incline of the slope is nearly 90 degrees!

As daunting as it sounds, the surrounding Himalayan beauty overpowers your fear and fatigue. The highlight of the Sar Pass trek is the descent from Sar Pass, which can't be traversed by trekking, give the steep incline. You have to slide down the slope! It feels like a roller coaster ride, only better. Experience your heart racing, and soul rejoicing as the little child in you comes shrieking alive!
