Overview
Sara Umga Pass at 4800 meters is one of the least traversed passes of Himachal Pradesh connecting Tosh in Parvati Valley to Chota Dhara in Lahaul and Spiti Valley. The trek takes you across stunning landscapes and untouched trails surrounded by epic peaks of the Parvati Valley such as Papsura, Dharamsura, Indrasan, Deo Tibba, White Snail and many more notable ones. One gets a glimpse of the mighty Bara Shingri Glacier.
The trail takes you across verdant meadows, high altitude pastures, grasslands, steep moraines, boulders and scree and lets you cross a crevassed glacier to a mighty pass and takes you from the lush green Parvati Valley to the barren and raw Spiti Valley. The trek is meant for experienced trekkers only who are looking for a challenge. The trek is a great alternative to Hampta Pass and a much more difficult one but with almost zero foot traffic. The time to do the Sara Umga Pass Trek is between July and October. Stay on this page for more information on the Sara Umga Pass Trek.
