Be ready to go through the rocky terrain; there will be loose rocks on the path, and even the stones may fall from above, so exercise caution and make sure to follow the guide’s directions to the letter. It is preferable to scale the wall on your own so that you do not have to deal with any form of trouble. The difficult trek may leave you feeling exhausted, but as you reach the top, you will undoubtedly experience an upswing in your attitude. After climbing to the peak, the first thing you will notice is a stunning panorama of the Dhauladhar Mountains, coupled with bright flags that are blowing in the breeze. After having an incredible time on the mountain, it’s time to begin making plans for your descent. While descending, you will have a lot of fun as you slide down with enthusiasm until you reach the level track that will take you farther to the meadows of Ronti Gad. Keep in mind that these fields are quite different from the ones that you have seen earlier on in the journey when you are on the walk. The sight of snow-covered mountains and meadows that are growing in their midst is what makes Ronti Gad such a beautiful place to visit, which is why it is a large meadow. After supper, you will go to your tents to get some rest since today is going to be a very long and eventful day.

      Trek distance: 12km

      Drive: 10hrs approx

      The last day of the hike will consist of a descent, but you need to be cautious since the trail’s elevation will decrease very rapidly. Today is the last day of the hike. Even if our staff will show you once again how to adjust to these sharp descendants so that you may climb your way downhill in an easy manner without harming yourself, you still need to exercise caution. You need to be aware that the route will begin with a sluggish ascent but will flatten out into a simple stroll as you make your way into the Ronti Gad valley. After ascending a height of around 460 metres (1,500 feet), you will emerge from the congested ravine and be treated to breathtaking views of Mount Kinner Kailash. You will not in any way be able to see the views of the pass from this vantage point. Be ready to go on a journey through the pine forest; at the end of the journey, you will arrive at a town where you will see picturesque apple orchards as well as cottages made of wood. While there are a number of routes that may be taken to get to Sangla from Sangla Kanda, the one that takes you through the forest of blue pines is the one that is recommended. The track comes to an end on a broad and well-defined path that yet descends precipitously to Sangla. After a steep descent that lasts half an hour, you will reach the settlement of Baspa, where you will begin the ascent that will lead you straight to Sangla. The completion of your hike will come about as soon as you reach this point.

      As you climb to higher altitudes, the air grows thinner and less oxygen is present. The amount of oxygen in our blood is equivalent to the proportion of haemoglobin that is saturated with oxygen. At altitudes above around 2,100 metres (7,000 feet), the amount of oxygen carried by our blood starts to decrease. At the same time, the human body possesses both immediate and long-term adaptations to altitude that help it somewhat compensate for the shortage of oxygen.

      Best time for the trek

      🗓️ Best Time to Trek — A Guide by Octatrav

      One of the key advantages of many Himalayan treks is that they remain accessible for a large part of the year. Most trekking routes open up in March, welcoming trekkers with springtime freshness and moderate temperatures. This season continues through late June, offering pleasant weather and clear views—ideal for a memorable trekking experience.

      🍁 Trekking resumes in mid-September and continues until late November, when the landscape transforms with golden leaves and crisp air. This autumn window is perfect for those who prefer scenic beauty combined with clear skies.

      ❄️ Winter trekking, although breathtaking, comes with challenges. From December to mid-March, most high-altitude trails get buried under heavy snow, making them inaccessible or risky. Government authorities usually restrict entry during this time to avoid mishaps due to extreme cold, snowfall, and avalanches.

      ✅ Summary:

      • Spring & Summer (March–June): Best time for pleasant weather and blooming landscapes.

      • Monsoon (July–Early September): Most trails are closed due to safety concerns.

      • Autumn (Mid-September–November): Ideal time with great weather and views.

      • Winter (December–Mid-March): High snow levels; many treks remain closed.

      With Octatrav, you’ll always be informed about the best seasons for your chosen trek. Our expert guidance ensures that you trek during the safest and most scenic times of the year, making your adventure both memorable and secure.

      This trek is generally considered to be of moderate difficulty, with a rating that can vary from easy to challenging depending on your experience and fitness level.

      The journey begins at a base village situated around 6,000 ft, gradually ascending to a maximum altitude of nearly 11,500 ft over the course of a few days.

      While the route mostly involves a pleasant hike through scenic landscapes, here are two main reasons why it falls under the moderate category:

      – Long daily distances: On average, you may be covering 10 km per day, which demands good stamina and consistent pacing.
      – Limited exit points: Most treks of this nature have only one route in and out, making emergency exits or quick returns difficult in case of unforeseen situations.

      How to Prepare for a High-Altitude Trek

      • Maintain for 2 weeks – consistently hitting this goal helps build real endurance.

      ⏳ Training Duration:

      Prepare for at least 4–6 weeks based on your current fitness level. The earlier you begin, the better your trek experience will be.

      💪 Strength Training Routine
