     Treks & Passes


Trek to Jalsu Pass: (3600 Metres)   Grade: Easy

From trekking point of view, it is an easy route and it is commonly used by trekkers and local people from the Kangra and Ravi valleys. There are Gaddi and Gujjar hutments at Yara and few seasonal hotels and teashops where one can have tea and snacks. The trek is slippery and slushy due to the regular passage of livestock. There are vast green meadows at the top of the Jalsu Pass. It is a very beautiful place for camping.

Trek to Singhar Pass (4473 Metres)   Grade: Very Difficult

This pass is one of the difficult passes of the Dhauladhar range and is not very common amongst trekkers due to its very difficult approach. Local gaddis are frequently seen crossing this pass during summer and autumn with their flocks of sheep and goats. They take their flocks regularly across this pass for grazing up to Manimahesh and Lahaul and Spiti. It is interesting that these gaddi herdsmen, who are semi-nomadic, have been allotted pasturelands in very remote areas of Lahaul and Spiti. They cross these passes twice in a year with their livestocks. This pass is crossable by men and goats only; mules cannot cross this pass. Singhar the 'Killer' according to the local people is very unpredictable pass and one cannot be sure of weather conditions on it. Clouds emerge suddenly with strong winds and thunders; thus reducing the temperature considerably. Due to abrupt change in weather, situation at times become fatal for the trekkers.
