If you are up for a stiff trek, I would suggest you take the Chanderkhani trek from the sleepy little village of Jari in the Kullu district. You can start early, like me, and by early afternoon, you will be in the world-famous "Pot Capital of the World" Malana Village". You can spend some time here before proceeding to higher ground.

Chandrakhani Pass Trek

Jayshree Rathi

Excellent

Chandrakhani Pass is a remote/offbeat landmark near Malana village in Himachal. One can trek to the Pass from Naggar - Rumsu, as well as from Malana. It took us 2.5 hours to come back down which means that for around 6 hours there is no food/water. Luckily there were some locals from Kullu who were kind enough to offer us some lunch that they had prepared.

Excellent

Great trip...................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We gained altitude very very rapidly (and by now this was becoming a habit for us), and soon we were on the road leading to the Malana dam and further onto the Mouzik Valley (also known as Magic Valley), which lies towards the right flank of Chandrakani Pass. The area was completely desolate, with hardly any traffic, oak trees on one side and the other side completely barren, the river bed full of rocks from the excessive blasting that took place in this area to carve out the road to the highest point (near Mouzik Valley) of the Malana power project. For knowledgeable..

Chandrakani Pass. The area was completely desolate, with hardly any traffic, oak trees on one side and the other side completely barren, the river bed full of rocks from the excessive blasting that took place in this area to carve out the road to the highest point (near Mouzik Valley) of the Malana power project. From an ecological standpoint, this was devastating and it seems this project generating 100MW power at peak capacity is nothing short of a disaster.

Chandrakhani Pass Trek

Bhushan

Excellent

On the first bend, we sighted a wafer-thin waterfall, and then on the second turn as we climbed, we witnessed a massive bloc of rocks on the river bed, and the river was virtually reduced to a trickle. From here on we continued to ascend and then leveled out to a crossing marking the dam (again similar to the one that we spotted in Hampta viz. Al project).

Chandrakhani Pass Trek

Omkar Yadav

Excellent

We were now driving on mud track and were amazed to see the barren landscape all around. The excessive blasting has the made area extremely dangerous - 100-meter high cliffs dangerously hovered around us for the most part of the journey, loose rocks slipping every now & then, waterfalls making driving conditions difficult, and dirt and mud making visibility a huge issue. We passed through a couple of short tunnels - these were bolted at more than 300-400 places to ensure that the whole mountain does not collapse in a heap and block the way. But they have an alternate way.
