Sara Umga Trek
Sara Umga Trek
Get yourself amongst giants !
Sara Umga Trek is not so strenuous compared to similar treks in the Himalayas. But yet it lets you experience the unmatched feeling of being in very high mountain environment.
And you really are with giants around you!
Papsura (6451 m), Indrasan (6221 m) and Deo Tibba (6001 m) will be with you on this trek. These peaks are actually higher than the peaks around the Pin-Parvati pass.
Another great fact about Sara Umga is that it is virtually not known. Forget the crowd of the Parvati valley or the treks around Manali, you will be most probably alone… with your trek mates and our staff of course.
The trek starts from the Tosh village in the Parvati valley. You will cross all the ecosystems of this part of the Himalayas. From Himalayan Cedar and Golden Oak forests to apple orchards, meadows, high altitude pastures, rocks and impressive glaciers.
In short Sara Umga is a dramatic trek easy to reach from any place in northern India, that doesn’t require to be athletic and that is definitely off the beaten track.
