Rupin Pass trek

Next year in June, our group plans to do the Rupin pass trek. Can anyone give a first hand account about the trek? We also need advice on:

1. Availabilty of mules for the full trek.
2. Ideal trek itenerary
3. Any contact numbers of guides/porters

Uttam did the trek in June this year in very deep snow and says that one should not go before the 1st week of July.

If you are a mountaineer.... with all your equipment, you can certainly do it... a regular trekker will find it daunting.

Hi Everyone

I have not logged on for sometime but I am back with my usual questions.

We plan to do Rupin Pass in mid-June this year. Uttam did it last year and it was ok. However, getting much info on Rupin Pass seems to be difficult.

Could anyone who has done this share their trek experience? Especially on scenic views? altitude gain per day? avaibility of porters and guides? Places to camp?

Hi Arjun,

How r u, after a long time. As far I know mid June or Sept-mid Oct will be good time for this trek. The trek starts from Dhula (the last point connected through motorable road) and ends in Sangla. Max altitude is 4630m. The most difficult part of this trek is Saruas Thach to Nuru via Rupin Pass (4630 m), coz. this day u have to cover around 12 km and 3450m -> 4630m -> 3600m altitude. Total trek needs around 11 days.

Hi Supratim

Thanks for the info. You seem to be growing in your knowledge of the mountains every new day!

Now, do you know anyone personally who has done the Rupin Pass trek? Any contact numbers would help.
