Kuta Thach is a beautiful meadow below Sara Umga Pass, next to the Tosh glacier. The trek for Kuta Thach starts with a climb up the scree and glacial moraines. The trek is long and moderately difficult but is compensated by the magnificent view of tall mountains that Kuta Thach offers. Kuta Thach also leads to another trail taking one towards Animal Pass. Overnight stay at Kuta Thach.
The trek to Sara Umga Base starts with a descent to the Tosh valley and leads to a climb through a rocky path leading to Sara Umga Base camp. The base camp lies just 200 meters below the pass thereby making the traverse easy for the next day. Overnight stay at Sara Umga Base camp.
The trek starts early to get a head start in crossing the pass in good weather. The climb to the pass is steep over -snow.
From the pass, one gets fabulous views of peaks in both Lahaul valley as well as the Tosh valley and other surrounding by-valleys. Descend on the other side of the pass to reach the Putiruni. The descend happens by walking towards the left to skip all the crevasses coming in between.
The trek from Putiruni to Chota Dhara is easy with not too many ups and downs. Cross Chandra river via bucket bridge system at Chota Dhara. Overnight stay at Chota Dhara.
