Rupin Pass Trek –A Change in Scenery at Every Turn
If there is a classic trek in India, it has to be the Rupin Pass. This trek is like an orchestra, building up momentum with surprises in scenery every hour or so. With every step, the trek throws up a new vista to see, a new scenery to unfold. All along, to complement the scenery, the blue waters of the Rupin run along, sometimes rushing, at times gliding by. It culminates in the famous three stage water fall of the Rupin.
In the higher reaches the trek passes through superb snow fields. The pass crossing through an echoing snow filled gully is an adrenaline high. The Rupin Pass trek has got it all: hanging villages, terrific forests, glacial meadows, hundreds of water falls and an exhilarating pass crossing. As a complete experience Rupin is the trek to do.
“Rupin Pass is a trek that changed my life. And I don’t exaggerate. The sense of achievement I felt standing at the Pass, surrounded by snow fields, meeting the mountains of Kinnaur at eye-level, was unmatched. You don’t get to the Pass easily. It requires four long days of hardcore trekking through coniferous forests, meadows, overhangs and the Rupin River Valley. It makes me feel invincible.”
