BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Perched at 13,700 ft. above sea level Sar Pass, offers the
magnificence of a beautiful verdant landscape against a curtain of
majestic Himalayan peaks wrapped in snow, wearing a crown of
clouds. In the local language of Himachal, Sar means a lake. While
trekking across the path from Tila Lotni to Biskeri Ridge, one has to
pass by a small, usually frozen lake and hence the name Sar Pass
Trek.
The Sar Pass trekking offers to experience the quaint villages and
dark forest which makes it worthwhile to embark on. The trail passes
through the thick forest and takes you to a winter wonderland that
makes it fascinating. One can charm traditional houses in beautiful
evenings and take pics of the locals near the camp. This trek is
heaven for photographers, artists, and nature lovers.
