The Rupin Pass Trek is one of the most spectacular and adventurous crossover treks in India, connecting Uttarakhand to Himachal Pradesh. Known for its dramatic landscapes and ever-changing scenery, this trek feels like walking through multiple worlds in a single journey.
From dense pine forests and remote Himalayan villages to roaring waterfalls, hanging valleys, snow bridges, and finally crossing a high-altitude pass—every day on the Rupin Pass Trek offers something new and exciting.
What truly sets this trek apart is the iconic Rupin Waterfall, which you trek alongside before climbing towards the pass at around 15,250 ft.
