  take the Trail that Starts At the Village and Heads Up the Valley to Sewa Gaon. Past a Cattle Shelter and An Enormous Collection of Dung, the Trail Starts to Climb Sharply, 200 Metres Outside the Village – a Gentle Reminder of More such Climbs to Come. the Climb Eases Out in 20 Minutes Into the First Change of Scenery: the Rupin Fans Out 500 Ft Below You Into a Wide River Bed.

• Day 3 : Sewa to Jiskun

  Sewa to Jiskun
  
  Altitude: 6,300 ft (1,920 m) to 7,700 ft (2,347 m)
  Trek gradient: Difficult. Easy walk for the first 3 hours followed by a steep ascent to Jiskun for 2 hours.
  
  The trail out of Sewa cuts across a mixture of barley and potato fields and suddenly dips into a deep dark jungle – so thick that the darkness is overpowering. The descent through the mixed forest over a slushy and often smelly trail pops out into the bright river bed of the Rupin. A change so sudden and different that you need to look back just to check your bearings. For the first time on the trek you actually trek on the river and not alongside it.
  
  Gleefully hop over and crisscross the many rivulets of the river. Veer to your left and join the trail that goes over a small wooden bridge across a stream that flows into the Rupin. Spend some time on the bridge, which is no-man’s land. On either side are the states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh.

  Altitude: 7,700 ft (2,347 m) to 10,100 ft (3,078 m)

  It is a 3½ km walk to Jakha, the highest and the last village on the Rupin pass trek. The trail out of Jiskun descends rapidly through a forest of deodars and walnut until it reaches an enchanting dark fold in the mountain. The fold’s upper reaches are dark and beyond human touch. Sight the remains of an old wooden bridge, almost hidden in the foliage. Below, at eye level, cross the new wooden bridge and crane your neck up to an eerie trail cut out of the rock face. So out of place and strange, you need moments to fathom how this was built and who made them.

• Day 5 : Udaknal to Dhanderas thatch

  Udaknal to Dhanderas thatch (lower water fall camp)
  
  Altitude: 10,100 ft (3,078 m) to 11,700 ft (3,566 m)
  Trek gradient: Easy-moderate. Gradual ascent all the way; tricky terrain over the snow bridge.

• Day 7 : Dhanderas thatch to Upper Waterfall camp

  Altitude: 11,700 ft (3,566 m) to 13,100 ft (3,993 m)
  Trek gradient: Moderate. Continuously climbing trail, tricky around the snow patches at the base and top of the water fall.
  Water sources: Carry sufficient water. You can refill your water bottles at streams.
  
  This is perhaps the most important day of your trek. The acclimatization climb to the top of the waterfall will help you immensely for a super successful climb to the Rupin pass.
  
  From Dhanderas Thatch the altitude gain for the Rupin pass crossing is almost 2,500 ft. It is considerable and it is almost certain that many will suffer from altitude sickness. It makes better sense to climb up about 1,500 ft to the top of the waterfall, allow your body to feel the effects of the altitude. Acclimatized somewhat, your body is better prepared for the grueling climb to the Rupin pass the next day. Unlike most days, start your day at leisure. Let strength come back to your limbs. After breakfast, prepare for the climb to the top of the waterfall.

  Start your day even before sun up. Make sure you are out of the camp by 5:00 am. Carry breakfast with you. You’ll need the energy boost for your brief halt at the top of the pass.
