The Rupin Pass Trek is one of the most breathtaking and dramatic high-altitude treks in India. Spanning across Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, this thrilling journey takes trekkers through deep forests, hanging villages, rushing rivers, and snow-covered ridges, ultimately leading to the spectacular Rupin Pass at 4,650 meters. Known for its ever-changing scenery, the trek offers a perfect blend of adventure, scenic beauty, and cultural experiences.

Rupin Pass Trekking Route and Experience

The adventure starts at Dhaula (1,500 m), a quaint hamlet in Garhwal Region of Uttarakhand, from where trekkers embark on a scenic journey through dense oak forests, apple orchards, and traditional Himalayan villages. The trail gradually ascends to Sewa and Jiskun, two charming settlements that offer insight into the local Himachali culture and architecture.

As trekkers move ahead, the route unfolds into steep inclines, hanging wooden bridges, and icy rivulets, leading to Udaknal and Dhanderas Thatch (3,500 m), a mesmerizing meadow at the base of Rupin Waterfall. Here, trekkers witness the stunning three-stage Rupin Waterfall, a breathtaking sight where glacial waters thunder down rocky cliffs. The real challenge begins with the ascent to Rupin Pass (4,650 m). The climb involves traversing vast snowfields, climbing through rugged terrain, and navigating narrow ridges. The moment trekkers reach the top, a panoramic view of snow-covered peaks, endless valleys, and glaciers makes the effort worthwhile. The descent takes adventurers into Himachal Pradesh, through Ronti Gad and finally to the beautiful Sangla Valley, marking the trek’s completion.

The Rupin Pass Trek is a paradise for nature lovers and thrill-seekers. The trail is rich in Himalayan flora and fauna, with sightings of rhododendrons, Brahma Kamal, Himalayan monals, and even the elusive musk deer.
