You can reach Dehradun by flight or road. Dehradun is also connected by rail to Delhi, Mussoorie, Mumbai, Varanasi, Lucknow, and Kolkata.
The Rupin Pass trek extends from Dhaula in Uttarakhand to Sangla in Himachal Pradesh. You'll walk through forests that are fragrant with the pine needles crushed under your feet, and into the higher reaches where patches of snow cover the rocky ground. You'll pass tinkling streams that are replaced by frozen waterfalls as you go higher.
The Rupin Pass trek is rated as a moderately difficult trek, mostly due to the length of the trek, and the altitude of almost 16,000 feet. You're likely to get some snow in May and June, and then again in October onwards.
If you’re an adventure junkie, the Rupin Pass Trek is meant for you. You'll be trekking through wide vistas of mountain landscape, through dense forests, along steep and narrow trails along the edges of slopes, over snow bridges, and under frozen waterfalls. You'll even visit Jhaka, a village that hangs on the edge of a cliff! During the Rupin Pass trek, there are a couple of sections that involve some steep climbs, especially on Day 6 and 7, when you ascend at least 1500-2000 feet in a day's trek. In addition to this, you'll also have a day where you get to use ice-axes!
