The difficulty level of the Sara Umga Pass trek
Sara Unga Pass Trek is one of the highest passes which is located at an altitude of about 16,500 feet. This pass is not explored by many people and it is also considered to be a difficult trek that is only good for experienced trekkers. It is advised that you follow your guide as the forest is deep and there are also many encounters with wild animals.
July to October is considered the best time to do the Sara Umga Pass Trek as during this time the weather is good as compared to the end of the year during which the region is covered with
snow which makes the trek even more difficult and risky.
While on the Sara Umga Pass trek, you will experience extreme weather conditions. This region is normally very cool. During the summer season also the mornings are bearable but gain the temperature falls to below 10 degrees Celsius after sunset. The winters are very harsh. The temperature drops to -10 degrees during the night in the winter season. From November to January, you will notice snow everywhere.
On the first day, we will take a drive from the famous Kasol and travel to Tosh while we will be in the scenic Valley of Parvati. After reaching the Tosh Village, we will start our trekking from here and we will climb upwards along the Tosh Nallah.
