Borasu Pass Trek

Early morning board your vehicles to take one of the very picturesque Himalayan drive following the Yamuna and the Tons river. You may stop by at Mussurie for having a quick breakfast and at Kempty falls enroute to start with the fun game right away.

After a drive of some 7 hours, you will arrive in Sankri by evening. On reaching, one of our representative will greet you and guide you to your hotel room. Once you are settled and freshened up, we meet over for evening Tea and Snacks. That's where we get introduced with the Team, issue you personal equipments for extra hygiene and safety, and share latest updates for the Har Ki Dun trek in short. 

Our dinner gets ready by that time, and we get ready for a savoury dinner cooked by our expert cook hired locally.

Your trek leader and guide will share the timings for tomorrow.

Today after breakfast, we board our drive to Taluka. Its one of the most Exciting and thrilling roads in the Himalayas of Garhwal. It takes us about an hour to reach Taluka, where we meet our crew and mules. Our stuffs are loaded and then we start our trek to Puoni Gad. The trails is beautified by the village as we walk the gorge of Supin river. Keep an eye for unique creations by the villagers, their houses and temples.

Today we resume our trek for the day after having our breakfast. We head towards Osla village which is famous for the Duryodhana Temple. The trail is beautified by the sight of some popular peaks of Garhwal Himalayas - Black Peak ( known as Kala Nag locally )  and Bandarpoonch. The trail climbs gradually as we cross the villages to reach Kalkati Dhaar.

Our trail for today is mostly ascents as we head towards Har Ki Dun platue. During winter, the place receives good amount of snowfall. Enjoy the magnificent view of the Himalayas as you walk. On reaching campsite, ease out for the day and get set to explore the place. You may chose to go towards Jaundhar Glacier, the other side of which is Himachal Pradesh or towards Borasu Pass.

This is a planned relaxed day to ease out the pressure and give the body proper rest before venturing up into the difficult zone of high altitude and difficult terrain.

Here is  a  leisure walk beside the Borasu Gad. Morinda Tal is a lake formed by the blockage of river by rocks whereas Ratta Tho takes to the the beginning of the glacial moraine. We may chose to camp anywhere as water source isn't the problem here, although the lower the better and then spend the day exploring the surrounding ridges. 

From here the trek changes its feel and starts to offer its challenges firstly in getting steeper, and the terain changes to that of a typical glacial moraine filled with boulders and scree zones. An effort of some 4 hours brings us to the camp site of Sawan Bedha

 As a penultimate day before the Pass Crossing day, this day serves as the last chocolate bar before hitting the trail leading to the summit of the pass. A short day at altitude above 45oo meters, it makes sense to make it shorter. The terrain gives no relief though.

The toughest day of the trek. An effort of some 3 hours over steep terrain of snow over scree zone takes us to the summit of the pass. From here, you can see back your trail and start imagining your past days and the effort you put to reach till here.

However, things are not complete yet. There is a tactful descend to negotiate which still maintains the difficulty of the trek. A campsite exists just after descending down the pass, but it is advisable to reach the welcoming meadows of Bonga and rest out the night.

Having past the most difficult day of the trek this feels like a relaxing day as the trail slowly starts to show the signs of nearing generous terrains and civilization.  We camp at Rani Kanda.

As we start the day's trek, the first signs of Civilization appear in front as a bridge to cross the Baspa river. An easy walk and soon we reach the enchanting town of Chitkul.

A beautiful trek has come to an end. We drive back to Shimla today
