Overview
Itinerary
Arrival, Drive to Sangla & Orientation
Pick-up from Shimla or Chandigarh (pre-arranged) and a scenic drive to the Baspa Valley: Sangla. En route enjoy views of terraced fields, river bends and mountain silhouettes. On arrival check into a guesthouse or homestay. Afternoon orientation with trek leader, gear check and short walk in the village to visit the local market and Baspa riverbank.
Important: Drink plenty of water and rest — this day is kept relaxed to help acclimatize.
Acclimatization Short Hike to Chitkul & Villages
A gentle day to acclimatize. After breakfast, take a 2–3 hour guided hike to Chitkul (the last inhabited village near the Indo-Tibetan border) or explore nearby meadows and apple orchards. Return to Sangla in the afternoon. Evening cultural walk with local host — learn about village life and Himachali cuisine.
Drive to Trailhead & Trek to Rupin Base Camp
Early morning drive to the designated trailhead (approx. 1–2 hrs). Begin the trek following the river and crossing quaint wooden bridges. The trail passes cascading streams and small waterfalls, culminating at Rupin Base Camp. Camp setup and short sightseeing to the nearby water channels.
Distance/Time: Moderate 4–6 km trekking (3–5 hours) — suitable for beginners with breaks.
Explore Rupin Waterfall & Trek to Alpine Camp
A day of spectacular scenery. Hike to the iconic Rupin Waterfall — one of the route's highlights — and continue upward across meadows and moraine slopes to reach the Rupin Alpine Camp. Sunset over the meadows offers excellent photo opportunities and panoramic mountain views.
Tip: Carry a light rain shell and camera; the waterfall mist can be heavy at close range.
High Camp Excursion & Meadow Walks
Today focus on high-altitude meadows and ridge walks near the approach to Rupin Pass. Gentle climbs to viewpoints for sweeping vistas of surrounding peaks and valleys. Time to savor alpine flora, practice short scrambles, and understand snow/drift features if present (season dependent). Night at High Camp below the pass.
Descent to Sangla — Village Refresh
Begin descent back down toward the trailhead and transfer to Sangla. Relax at the guesthouse or homestay, enjoy a warm shower and local meals. Optional evening walk to Baspa river to reflect on the trek and take last photos of terraced valleys.
Departure / Drive Back to Shimla or Drop-off City
After breakfast, check out and drive back to Shimla or your chosen drop-off city (Chandigarh/Delhi transfer on request). End of the Rupin Pass Trek Intro 6 Nights package. Guests departing later can request additional nights in Shimla or an extended Himachal Adventure tour package.

Recent Himachal Reviews
Cab Replacement Confirmed While We Were Still Panicking
We were halfway through our Himachal trip — somewhere between Manali and Kasol — when our cab driver suddenly said he couldn't continue due to a family emergency. My wife and I had no idea what to do. Called our TourGrids coordinator immediately and within 40 minutes a replacement cab was confirmed, driver details shared on WhatsApp, and we barely lost two hours. No extra charge, no runaround. The entire Himachal itinerary had been planned around our pace as a couple, hotels were proper good, and check-ins were always pre-informed. But that one moment on the road showed us what actually separates a good travel company from a random aggregator. Will be back for the next trip.
Woke Up to Perfect Hotels Every Single Morning
Honestly, the properties TourGrids picked for our Himachal trip were the real highlight. My wife and I were a bit skeptical about handing over hotel selection to someone else, but every stay — from Manali to Kasol — was proper good. Clean rooms, decent views, breakfast included without any last-minute surprises. The cab arrangements were equally solid. Driver showed up on time each day, knew the mountain roads well, and never rushed us. Whatever we flagged on WhatsApp, the coordinator sorted on call within the hour. No confusion at checkouts, no hidden charges. For a couple planning a hill trip without wanting to micromanage every detail, this worked out really well.
Himachal Itinerary Built Exactly Around Our Dates
I'd been putting off planning a Himachal trip with my wife for almost a year because coordinating everything felt overwhelming. A friend suggested TourGrids, so I messaged them on WhatsApp. Within a day, someone from the team called and actually listened — I told them we wanted less crowded spots and more flexibility on rest days, and they built the itinerary around that. No generic package. Cab timings, hotel preferences, altitude concerns for my wife — all noted and reflected in the final plan. Pricing was transparent, no hidden charges at checkout. The whole booking process took maybe three days total. Really did not expect it to be this straightforward.
