Sar Pass Trek Kasol 2026 |Sar Pass Trekking | Indian-Tours

Day 1: Arrival at Kasol Base Camp

Arrive at the Kasol Base Camp in the afternoon. This day is for acclimatization and orientation. You can go out for a serene walk and explore this quaint Himalayan town. During the orientation session, our expert guides will give you instructions about rucksack packing, walking technique and general information about the trek route. Overnight stay in Kasol.

Day 2: Kasol to Grahan Village (5-6 Hours)

Wake up to the beautiful Himalayan sunrise at the base camp. After a nutritious breakfast at the camp, we start trekking from Kasol to Grahan Village, a 7 to 8 km walk through the deep jungle that takes 4 to 5 hours. The trail is easy and frequently used by locals. Trekking through the lovely pine forests, one can effortlessly cover much distance in a couple of hours. A steep climb of about an hour will take you to your destination for the day. We reach Grahan Village by evening and end the day with a beautiful night sky, a lavish dinner and a cozy homestay. Increase in altitude: 1,700 m to 2,350 m.

Day 3: Grahan Village to Min Thatch Camp (4-5 Hours)

Wake up to a hearty meal provided by our team, and then we start our trek towards the north of the camping ground at Grahan Village. The slope becomes steeper and the path is confusing in some places, so remember to stay with your group. After crossing the lush green forest and walking a little more, you will see Min Thatch, Nagaru and Sar Top on the mountains. We call it a day here, have dinner and stay overnight in the camps.

Day 4: Min Thatch Camp to Nagaru Camp (4-6 Hours)

The trek gets a bit tougher from today. The track is slippery, so be very careful and listen to every instruction from the camp leader and trek guide. After breakfast, we trek from Min Thatch to Nagaru through the woods. It is a difficult part of the trek, as the slope falls steeply to the valley below and the snow may be slippery. After crossing a steep slope for a couple of hours, we reach the famous Nagaru campsite. From here you can see a magnificent view of the Parvati Valley, and the town of Manikaran and surrounding villages are also visible. It is advisable not to roam around unnecessarily at Nagaru, as it is the highest altitude camp on this trek and it gets really cold at night. After dinner we sleep early to avoid the cold and because the next day involves an early start.

Day 5: Nagaru Camp to Biskeri Thatch Camp via Sar Pass (6-8 Hours)

Rise and shine early in the morning to start your trek. Today we climb through snow trails to a beautiful view of the dazzling peaks of Tosh Valley. We reach the top and take some time to enjoy the stunning view. Then comes one of the most fun parts of the trek, a 100 ft long snow slide. It is completely harmless, but we still take some precautions. The slide takes you as far as a kilometre to a gentler slope of the valley, from where we walk for an hour and cross some magical streams to reach the Biskeri Thatch campsite by evening. Biskeri is also famous for a variety of bird species, so happy bird watching. We camp overnight at Biskeri Thatch. All meals provided.

Day 6: Biskeri Thatch Camp to Pulga and Drive Back to Kasol Base Camp (4-5 Hours)

From Biskeri, we hike down across a steep plot of land with fencing all around. The path to the village of Pulga goes to the left of the campsite. The twin villages of Pulga and Tulga, which see plenty of tourists throughout the year, are separated by the beautiful Parvati River. From here we take a jeep ride to our base camp at Kasol. Your amazing trek to Sar Pass concludes here.
