After descending from Narkanda, just before Rampur Bushahar, we turn right where a track branches right and crosses a bridge over the Satluj river. The track divides; take the right-hand branch climbing steadily through open countryside then through pine woods. After crossing Arsu-Sarahan (2440m) 13km - The trail descends for a while through sparsely wooded slopes before rising gradually. Then it goes down again to the Kurpan Gad, crosses a river bridge and climbs steeply to Sarahanm a beautiful and typical village with a temple dedicated to sage Shring.
The rest house is situated outside the village and is picturesquely perched on a ledge with a view of the pass. Overnight in tents (B/f, Lunch, Dinner)
The most strenuous section, starting with a pleasant, almost level walk of about 1.5km before climbing steeply. The trail passes through dense oak forest to attain the pass in some 5km from Sarahan. The descent is a big height loss of 1300m, very steep and through thick forests and patches of green meadows. Bathad is a small village and the PWD rest house is situated high up overlooking the Palachan Gad. A bus runs from here via Banjar to Aut on the main Mandi-Kullu highway. Overnight in tents (B/f, Lunch, Dinner)
Streams joining the river at Jibhi & Giyagi offer spectacular landscapes dotted with small grain grinding huts. After Giyagi, the access to Shoja winds through thick forests of alpine trees, which provide an untouched Habitat to various species of flora & fauna. On arrival at Shoja, the landscape opens up into beautiful terraced fields followed by rolling meadows of wild flowers. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure at the camp. One can explore the surroundings on bear trail, pheasant ridge or village trail. Overnight in tents (B/f, Lunch, Dinner)
After breakfast, trek to Sereolesar Lake through a thickly narrow path. One can get an occasional view of the meadows beyond the thick curtain of the forests. The onward trek is smooth and downhill. After lunch trek back to the camp, which is an uphill and a little taxing walk. Arrive in the evening. Overnight in tents (B/f, Lunch, Dinner)
