Explore one of the most beautiful Himalayan passes of India.
Chanderkhani Pass is located in the Kullu District of India at a height of 3,660 metres. It forms a way (pass) between the villages of Rumsu and Pulag to the well-known village of Malana, which indirectly forms a trekking route from Naggar to Malana across the Chanderkhani Pass.
The pass has a lot of religious importance, as it was once the seat of meditation for the Saptarishi Jamadagni. According to a folklore, there was once a local deity named Jamlu of Malana, and he had a basket of the local gods in his hands. While on the top of the pass, he opened the basket and incidentally a strong wind came by and blew away all the idols to the nearby peaks, which is why all the nearby mountain peaks of Indrasan, Deo Tibba, Pir Panjal Range & Parbati Range are considered holy and can be seen very clearly from the pass.
The trek begins from Naggar (Heritage village) and winds through the old picturesque villages of Kullu valley. Beautiful meadows, thick forests of pine, oak and grassy land ascends where the valley captures the mesmerizing panoramic 360-degree view of snow clad peaks. It is an ideal trek for people new to the Himalayan trekking (Good fitness level required).
