The Sar Pass is in Parvati Valley of Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, a state of India.[1] [2] [3]

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.[4]
