Rupin Pass Trek in Uttarakhand

Rupin Pass is a high altitude mountain pass that rises to 15,250 feet. The challenge and pleasure of going to such a high altitude in the Indian Himalayas makes it a fantastic trip on its own. Then come the surprises.
Surprises begin even before the trek, as you drive from Rohru across the Chainsheel Pass. Unpaved roads wind steeply through trees, changing views every minute. The woodland is so unusual that you'll want to get out of your car every now and then to appreciate it. At roughly 11,000 feet, you emerge from the trees into meadows. These meadows spread far and wide. They last till you get to Chainsheel Pass.
