About
Perfect for trekking enthusiasts and adventure seekers, this trek offers a thrilling mix of challenging climbs, the iconic Rupin Waterfall, breathtaking Himalayan views, and the dramatic transition into the landscapes of Kinnaur — making it one of the most rewarding high-altitude trekking experiences in the Himalayas.
Major Attractions
Rupin Pass
From the top, a 360-degree panorama unfolds across Kinnaur, Spiti and the Western Himalayas, marking the dramatic transition from Himachal into a completely different landscape.
Rupin Waterfall
Leading up to the Upper Waterfall Camp (4,080m), it’s regarded as one of India’s most scenic and dramatic campsites, set right at the edge of the tree line.
Dhanderas Thatch
Reached after the longest and most rewarding day of the trek, it marks the gateway into raw, high-altitude terrain above the tree line.
Saruwas Thatch
As trekkers climb higher through this meadow, distant snow-covered ridges begin to reveal themselves, building anticipation for the high-altitude sections ahead.
Sangla Valley
Framed by apple orchards and dense pine forests of Kinnaur, it’s the perfect gentle descent to end an epic high-altitude journey.
