It&#8217;s ideal for those who want to see a variety of terrain. The trek begins in Kasol, a popular weekend destination for tourists from all over the world, many of whom are city kids looking for a taste of the bohemian lifestyle. There are various affordable and high-end housing options available, with Israeli, Continental, Indian, and Chinese cuisines to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Short-Term Trip Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>This hike is ideal for newcomers.<\/li><li>Hike through forests, meadows, and tiny towns on your way to the beach.<\/li><li>Climb to the peak of Sar Pass, at 13,799 feet, for stunning views of snow-capped mountains.<\/li><li>The hike starts at Kasol, a major tourist site for visitors from all over the world.<\/li><li>On weekends, this trail attracts a large number of tourists.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trail-related information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The first day of the trip is spent travelling from Kasol to Grahan.<\/li><li>The altitude varies between 1,700 and 2,350 metres.<\/li><li>Time to complete: 4-5 hours 10 kilometres were covered.<\/li><li>The trail from Kasol to Grahan is well-marked and winds through the woods, following the Grahan nalah. It starts at Kasol&#8217;s centre and runs all the way to the noah&#8217;s true left. Locals frequently use the trail because it is easy to follow. Because the grade is mild, a huge area can be readily covered.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grahan Village Green Fields &#8211; Sar Pass Trek Grahan Village Green Fields<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After crossing the nalah, the trail continues until it abruptly becomes stony and ascends sharply away from the river&#8217;s right side. Even if you&#8217;ve been taught that this isn&#8217;t the right way to do things, you shouldn&#8217;t do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grass and bushes gradually take the place of the trees. Some fields and brightly coloured tarpaulins may also be seen. These are makeshift stalls with tea, omelettes, and rhododendron syrup for sale! In snow-covered forests, rhododendrons (also known as buras) thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 2: Min Thach to Grahan The elevation varies between 2,350 and 3,400 metres.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Distance of 7 kilometres<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completion time: 4-5 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the Grahan camping area, a trail runs north, gently climbing. Villagers commonly utilise this walkway in the morning. This is where you&#8217;ll find Min Thach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a while, the view opens up, and a guide can point out Min Thach, Nagaru, and Sar Top on the right side of the mountain. As you progress further into the woods, the trail becomes steeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Sar Pass Trek, there was a hailstorm on the route to Minthach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the dense canopy, you&#8217;ll soon find yourself in a gloomy jungle with limited sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelling from <a href=\"https:\/\/banbanjara.com\/tours\/grahan-trek\" rel=\"noopener\">Grahan Trek <\/a>&nbsp;to Min Thach takes one day. It prepares the body for the impending adventure by allowing it to adapt and warm up. Experienced trekkers, on the other hand, can leave Kasol early in the morning, stop for an early lunch in Grahan, and reach Min Thach after lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 3: Min Thach to Nagaru<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The elevation varies between 3,400 and 3,800 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Distance of 8 kilometres<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completion time: 4-6 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nagaru appears to be a short distance from Min Thach as the crow flies, but the road does not follow the ridge-line straight up; instead, it veers up to the south (looking up at the cliffs, towards the right) and into the forests. Depending on the weather, snow may fall here. After a short distance, another ridge-line emerges, this time stony and overlooking a lush meadow in the distance. The ridge steeply slopes to the left (eastward) to the cliffs where Nagaru sits. To the left, you can see the Min Thach campground and the Grahan village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biskeri Thach \u2013 Sar Pass \u2013 Nagaru (Day 4)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>3,800 m \u2013 4,200 m \u2013 3,350 m m m m m m m m m m m m<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Distance: 14 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time commitment: 6\u20138 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The approach to Sar Pass is challenging at times, as it follows the ridge-line in a southerly direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> However, reaching the summit would take several hours, and there would be a significant distance to cover before reaching the next camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10 Sar Pass &#8211; Sar Pass &#8211; Sar Pass &#8211; Sar Pass &#8211; Sar Pass &#8211; Sar Pass &#8211; Sar Pass &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting to the top of the Sar Pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the contours of the hill, the trail continues south-east, away from the high terrain. Walking on the left through deep valleys necessitates prudence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 5: Biskeri Thach to Bursheni<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The elevation varies between 3,350 and 2,400 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ten kilometers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completion time: 4-5 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Biskeri, a steep trail descends to the left of the creek. Cross the stream and stroll over a fenced-in area after some time has elapsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several paths to choose from, and only a guide can tell you which is the correct one, which runs north-east. Look for a creek crossing with a camp site across the creek after having a great time descending through the dense forest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sar Pass is a great place to start if you&#8217;re new to hiking.
