The '''Sar Pass''' is in [[Parvati Valley]] of [[Kullu]] district of [[Himachal Pradesh]], a state of [[India]].

Sar, in the local dialect, means a lake. While trekking across the path from Tila Lotni to Biskeri Ridge, one has to pass by a small, usually frozen lake (Sar) and hence the name Sar Pass Trek.
