Sar pass YHAI trek:

Sar pass is the most famous Himalayan trekking being organized by YHAI in Himachal pradesh. Trekkers usually visit Manali, Kullu and Naggar area before they report to the base camp. This place is in the Parvatil valley near Manikaran. The hill range is called Shivalik. The valley is full of snow covered mountains, meadows, deodar and fir trees, water falls and dense forests, steep hill ways. Well know Himalayan peaks like Bijli Mahadev, Pin Parvati, Om peak, Ganesh peak are all visible while crossing the Sar peak area.

kasol is the base camp for the Sar pass trek. The camp site is located on the banks of river Parvati. The trek starts from a small village called Unchdhar (reaching by bus from base camp). Then proceeds via one more small village called Shila. The first higher camp is at Guna pani. The second higher camp is at Fual pani located at steep hill area in a dense forest place. Trekkers cross beautiful scenic places called Poo and Kangchani before reaching Fual pani.
