Sar Pass Trek

The Sar Pass is in Parvati Valley of Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, a state of India.

Sar, in the local dialect, means a lake. While trekking across the path from Tila Lotni to Biskeri Ridge, one has to pass by a small, usually frozen lake (Sar) and hence the name Sar Pass Trek.
