Rupin Pass Trek | Challenging crossover trek
The trek to Rupin Pass is a highly sought after Himalayan trek in Himachal Pradesh. The trek lets you enjoy the beauty of many peaks as you trek towards the summit while enjoying the local culture of Shimla, Dehradun and more. The Rupin pass trek exposes you to beautiful views of glacial meadows, snow bridges, and cascading waterfalls. The beauty of the sun-kissed mountain hugging the massive rivers with hanging villages nearby is simply an amazing experience to have.
The Rupin pass trek offers different things to travelers, whether you seek adventure or natural beauty or dramatic scenery, the trek has everything. No section of the trek here is the same, yet the beauty keeps you hooked. The Rupin Pass trek starts with a drive from Rohru, as you ride the unpaved roads via dense forests, it opens suddenly into expansive grasslands near the Chainsheel valley. From here you will hike to a height of 11,000 ft. After this, you start descending towards Jiskun, starting the main journey of the trek to Rupin Pass. The mountainside village transcends into thick forests of fir, where there is a massive snow-bridge spanning over the Rupin River. The next step is Saruwas Thatch, with jaw-dropping views of Rupin waterfall, the 1,500 ft fall where you see water cascading down is a mesmerizing sight. The trail that you take to Dhandera Thatch, climbing to Rota Pheri and here you will see Rupin gully and the adventure continues as you see the vast meadows of Sangia Kanda and Kinnaur Kailash. The entire trek is beautiful and the summit views are over the top.
