== Description ==
Rupin Pass trek consists of trails dug out of rock faces and wooden bridges, cut through deep dark folds in the mountain, glaciers and icy slopes, and over snow fields. Along the way there are white [[Rhododendron|Rhododendrons]] and expanse of green meadows.

There are different trails that access the Rupin Pass. One of them starts at the sleepy village of Gosangu which is the last road head of Himachal Pradesh. Generally, trekkers and adventurers travel to Gosangu by road from [[Shimla]] via [[Rohru]]. The alternate route to Rupin Pass starts from Naitwar, which is accessible from [[Dehradun|Dehradhun]] via [[Dhaula]]. From either of the two road heads, the first camp is Jhaka, the hanging village and the last stop for replenishing stocks and a look at the civilization. Traveling the Rupin Pass is a moderate – difficult level of climbing. The trails follow the Rupin river all the way to the top (Upper waterfall camp).

Rupin pass is unique in a way that the ice melting on the one side of the pass forms the Rupin river that merges with [[Yamuna]] and eventually flows into the [[Bay of Bengal]] while the snow melting on the [[Sangla, India|Sangla]] side of the pass merges into a stream the eventually flow into [[Sutlej|Sutlaj]] and hence flows into the [[Arabian Sea|Arabian sea]].

=== Access ===
Rupin pass is at an altitude of 15250 ft above [[Mean sea level|MSL]] and to reach here follow the
[[Dhaula]] 5,100 ft to [[Gosangu]] 6,300 ft.11 km. Via Sewa – Gosangu 6,300 ft to Jhaka 8,700 ft.9 km Via [[Jiskun]] 7,600 ft. - [[Jhaka]] 8,700 ft to [[Saruwas]] thatch 11,150 ft. 6 km.
