The Beautiful Journey From Kasol To Sar Pass

The trek starts from the scenic village of Kasol in Parvati Valley. Parvati Valley is known for its majestic beauty with the Parvati River flowing through the heart of the valley.  From Kasol, you trek through the beautiful forests of Pine and Rhododendrons to Grahan Village, a hidden village in Parvati Valley that is known for its scenic beauty and heartwarming hospitality. From Grahan, you will ascend towards Min Thach, a mystical campsite covered in dense thickets.

From Min Thach, we head towards Nagaru through dense woods. Depending on the weather conditions, you may see snow in this part of the trek. From the Nagaru campsite, you can see the steep mountain peaks rising up from the Parvati Valley and the town of Manikaran can also be seen at a distance. To the northwest, one can see Chanderkhani Peak and other ranges of the Beas Valley. From Nagaru, we head towards the Sar Pass, a thrilling climb that opens a wide panorama of the Himalayan Ranges. 

From Nagaru Thach, we will head towards the Sar Pass. The most interesting thing about Sar Pass is that, even during the summer months you will experience snow in the pass. So along the trek, you get the best of both worlds from the Himalayan greenery to the experience of walking on snow.  From the pass, you can see snow-capped mountains on the south and to the east, you can see the peaks rising from Tosh Valley. Relishing the beautiful views from the Sar Pass, we will head down to Biskeri Thach. The Biskeri Thach campsite unfolds the sublime beauty of the Himalayan Pine forests as the majestic mountains grace the skyline ahead. 

From hereon, you will head to another quaint Himalayan settlement called Barshaini. It is the last village of Parvati Valley. En route, you will pass through two scenic villages called Kalga and Tulga, the twin villages are separated by a stream. From Barshaini you will return back to your onward destination with beautiful memories of the mountain.

The thing is that to climb some high grade of mountains, more than basic skills and techniques of climbing are required to learn. In fact, the ‘technical climbing’? It is not just for high-grade level mountain expeditions; this kind of technical knowledge is quite useful even in the easy graded expedition to ensure the safety of the trekker throughout their trek.

The main highlight of any trek journey will always be either the places you get to explore or the views that you will get to witness only once in your life. But to explore and experience all that scenic beauty, you must remain safe and healthy, which can be possible only if you do the proper intake of nutrients, and most importantly, of all consume water in a perfectly adequate amount. It’s an obvious yet the most ignored fact that Hydration is very important for trekking, it’s like the backbone of the whole trip. Which is why every trek leader’s first question at the start or end of their trek is - How much water did you drink today? Half of the time, the pattern of the answer remains the same, where some of them just give sheepy smiles, some tell numbers but are in doubt, and some of them have no idea whether they have drunk it at all or not.

And the most missed details by trekkers are - not equipping themselves properly with winter trekking essentials, which will help them in staying warm during a winter trek. I mean, we all know that cold never suddenly comes in; it slowly starts creeping into the weather. When you are wearing your socks, at first you will feel chills in your body, then when you stop moving, a warmth will settle, and as you keep progressing in your trek, you will also start feeling colder. In one moment, you’re admiring frost-covered tree views, and in the other, you will be wondering why your fingers have started feeling numb suddenly despite wearing gloves.
