After breakfast, leave the village trails behind and enter deep forests as the path becomes steeper and more rugged. The ascent gradually takes you into denser pine and rhododendron zones, with occasional openings offering beautiful views of the surrounding valleys. The climb from Grahan is steady and demands a good pace and hydration.

Today’s trek is short but steep as you make your way toward one of the highest camps of the trek.

Once you cross the tree line, panoramic views of the Parvati Valley slowly begin to unfold.

Nagaru sits perched on a ridge, offering breathtaking views of snow-clad peaks and deep valleys below. Cold winds are frequent due to the altitude, making this a challenging but rewarding stay.

After absorbing the breathtaking landscape, begin the thrilling snow slide descent, one of the signature experiences of the Sar Pass trek. The descent leads into lush meadows and eventually to Biskeri Thach, a vast green grassland surrounded by towering mountains and pine forests.
