Sar Pass Trekking Event

About Sar Pass :-

The Sar Pass is in Parvati Valley of Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, a state of India. A trek to Sar Pass is organised every year by Youth Hostels Association of India and Kailash Rath.[1] and TripHippie [2] Groups trek up to Sar pass during the months of May and June. This is one of the most challenging and difficult treks.

Sar, in local dialect, means a lake. While trekking, across the path from Tila Lotni to Biskeri Ridge, one has to pass by a small, (normally) frozen lake (Sar) and hence the name Sar Pass Trek.
