Sar Pass trek offers an opportunity to enjoy the exquisite beauty of Parvati valley with Kasol, Nagaru, Biskeri and Manikaran as its beauty spots. Kasol is famous for its cool and pleasant climate with tall pine trees. Nagaru thatch can be literally called the little ‘Ice Land’ where one experiences the challenge of nature in full fury during spine chilling cold nights. The splendid views of snowy peaks offer an endless feast to one eye. Biskeri fascinates the trekkers with its lush green meadows, wild flowers and a variety of birds. Hot water springs at Manikaran are bliss. A natural hot water bath at these springs relieves you of all tiredness and rejuvenates the body and mind with new energy.

Day 05: Nagaru to Biskeri Thach (3350 Mts. ) over Sar Pass (4200 Mts.) 4/5 Hrs
This is the most challenging day of the trek as also the most rewarding. You need to start very early, for 2 reasons: If there’s still enough snow on the trail near the pass, it makes sense to cross it before the snow melts under the hot sunrays and becomes slippery. Secondly, the distance to be covered on the day is long and it is wise to start early so that we can account for bad weather, tiredness, slow speed etc. and reach the camp well in time. Biskeri is a great treat for the eyes, being a beautiful meadow surrounded by peaks and forests on all sides.
