Chanderkhani Pass is located in the Himachal Pradesh state's Kullu district, Chanderkhani Pass is located at a height of 3,650 metres. Because of its gentle incline, it is a fantastic first-time hike. This pass connects Kullu with the Parvati Valley. Naggar serves as the beginning point, and up until recently, this was the only way to get to Malana village.
In Himachal's Kullu area, there is a beginner-level walk called the Chanderkhani Pass Trek. This pass connects Kullu with the Parvati Valley, giving stunning scenery and flora. The only way to get to Malana village, according to early settlement records, was by this pass.
You will be accompanied on your journey by some of the greatest Himalayan mountains, which are accessible via the Chanderkhani Pass. Discover the beauty of the PirPanjal range in the north, the Parvati range in the east, and the Bara Bangal range in the west. You are greeted with colourful meadows that glisten against a background of beautiful peaks.
The "Valley of Gods" is another name for the region around Chanderkhani Trek. According to a tale, the deity Jamlu was carrying a basket full of gods when he approached the location, and as soon as he did, a violent gust of wind blew all the gods out of the basket. Each one descended to the earth and assumed the shape of peaks, leading to their renaming as Indrasan, PirPanjal, DeoTibba, and Parbati. The pass offers a stunning view of these summits. With such legends and breathtaking peaks as a background, a wonderful hike is guaranteed to keep you delighted.
