I recently completed the Rupin Pass Trek with Himalaya Shelter, and I just had to share my experience with you all. If you’re looking for a challenging yet incredibly rewarding trek, this one should definitely be on your list!
The Journey Begins Starting in the quaint village of Dhaula, Uttarakhand, the trek immediately immerses you in lush forests and along the vibrant Rupin River. The trail to Sewa is a gentle introduction to the beauty that lies ahead, setting the stage for the adventure.
The Enchanting Trail Each day of the trek offers something new and breathtaking. From the hanging village of Jhaka to the lush meadows of Saruwas Thach, and the dramatic Rupin Waterfall at Dhanderas Thach, every turn brings a fresh sense of awe. The sight of the waterfall cascading down is nothing short of magical.
The Climb to Rupin Pass The ascent to Rupin Pass is both challenging and exhilarating. At 15,279 feet, the pass offers stunning panoramic views of the Kinner Kailash range and beyond. Standing at the summit, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, is an experience I’ll never forget.
Cultural Encounters One of the highlights of the trek was interacting with the local communities. The hospitality of the villagers added a rich cultural layer to the adventure, making the trek even more memorable. Learning about their traditional lifestyle was both enlightening and heartwarming.
Why Rupin Pass? This trek offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and cultural experiences. It’s ideal for seasoned trekkers looking for a challenging and fulfilling journey. The best times to go are from May to June and September to October, when the weather is perfect for trekking.
If you’re looking to push your limits and soak in the beauty of the Himalayas, I highly recommend the Rupin Pass Trek with Himalaya Shelter. Feel free to ask me any questions about the trek – I’d be happy to share more details!
