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.

Chanderkhani pass is a very beautiful place on the top of Kullu valley. one can go there only by trekking. fabulous view of Kullu valley from the top. its a gate way to maulana valley too. Nice...................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

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.

We trekked from Malana to Chandrakhani and back.. An overnight bus from Delhi to Bhuntar ( roughly 12 hours). A shared cab from Bhuntar to Malana ( via Jari)..the cab drops you at a point from where you need to trek for around an hour to Malana. Fully enjoyed theirs.

Nice Experience wih full of enjoyment. 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. Awesome.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There, You can spend some time here before proceeding to higher ground. By evening you will be at the pass and looking around you will slowly feel your breath being blown away by the beauty all around. The valley of flowers is a breathtaking sight to behold. Clear skies, snow-filled mountains, pristine air, and a meadow full of flowers. Beautiful track.............!!!!!!!!!!!1

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..

We drove back on the Kullu road and the Jari bend, we took the left turn toward the Malana powerhouse, and then climbed onto our next frontier Chandrakani Pass. In fact, the Manager at ‘The Himalayan Village’ suggested that we undertake the journey to Chandraknai Pass via Malana village and also get to see Magic Valley. We passed by the 1.0-meter wide penstock - it looked mammoth - it would have taken a lot of effort to assemble the entire pipeline. Perfect way.....

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.

The one-way road with virtually impossible over-taking options was well-mortared in places and at many others it was virtually a dirt track. The curves and the bends were very narrow, sharp, and dangerously close to the vertical fall on the left-hand side of the valley.
