Your journey to Chandrakhani Pass begins in the bustling town of Manali, from where you’ll embark on a scenic drive to Rumsu Village. This 29-kilometer drive takes you through verdant valleys, winding roads, and breathtaking vistas that set the tone for the adventure ahead.
Rumsu, the starting point of the trek, is a charming ancient village located at an altitude of 2,100 meters. Known for its Kathkuni architecture, Rumsu offers a glimpse into the traditional Himachali lifestyle. The houses here are built with alternate layers of wood and stone, a style reminiscent of the architecture seen in Jiskun on the Rupin Pass trek. The village shares cultural and religious ties with Malana, with the locals worshipping the same deity and following similar customs.
From Rumsu, your trek begins with a gradual ascent towards Naya Tapru, located at an altitude of 3,200 meters. The trail is surrounded by dense forests of oak, deodar, and pine, and as you progress, you’ll notice the trees giving way to open clearings. These clearings provide stunning views of the surrounding mountains, with the Dhauladhar range standing majestically in the backdrop.
The 4 to 5-kilometer trek typically takes 3 to 4 hours, offering plenty of opportunities to soak in the tranquility of the environment. The path is well-marked and gently climbs, and gradual ascents, making it ideal for first-day acclimatization.
Upon reaching Naya Tapru, the effort of the trek will be more than worth it. Naya Tapru is a tranquil meadow, surrounded by towering peaks, making it an ideal campsite. The sweeping views of snow-capped mountains and the vast sky above provide a breathtaking backdrop. As you settle into your campsite, you’ll have time to relax and reflect on the journey thus far. The evening sky, painted in shades of orange and pink, is the perfect way to end the day. As the stars begin to twinkle overhead, you'll experience the quiet serenity of the mountains, a peaceful silence that is truly unmatched.
This first day of trekking offers the perfect introduction to the beauty and grandeur of the Himalayas, setting the stage for the exciting days ahead.

On Day 2, your adventure continues as you trek from Naya Tapru to Chaklani Camp. The trail is short but quite rewarding, covering only 2 km, yet it offers a gentle gradual ascent that brings you to an elevation of 3,400 meters. The trek takes approximately 3 hours, allowing ample time to appreciate the surrounding beauty and adjust to the altitude.
The morning begins with a warm breakfast at Naya Tapru before you start your ascent. The first leg of the trek takes you through meadows and alpine pastures where you may encounter herders with their flocks of sheep or goats. The trail gradually climbs through a mix of rocky terrain and sparse forest, with occasional glimpses of the expansive windy open areas. As you make your way up, the panoramic views of the mountains open up further, providing stunning vistas of the nearby peaks that become more defined with every step.
Reaching Chaklani Camp feels like a rewarding achievement. Chaklani is a small clearing, at an altitude of 3,400 meters, the camp offers an elevated perspective of the surroundings, with the majestic mountains towering above. The camp provides a serene setting for reflection and rest before the challenges of the following days.
The evening is also perfect for stargazing, as the clear skies of the Himalayas give you an unobstructed view of the stars above. The tranquility of Chaklani Camp, combined with the awe-inspiring mountain views, will make for a truly unforgettable experience. After a delicious dinner and a restful night under the stars, you'll be ready for the trek ahead.

Day 3 of your Chandrakhani Pass trek is a thrilling day that takes you to the highest point of your journey, the Chandrakhani Pass, and then back to Naya Tapru.
The day begins with an early breakfast at Chaklani Camp, where you’ll set off on a steep climb towards the Chandrakhani Pass. The trek from Chaklani to the pass spans 3 kilometers, but the altitude gain will make the journey feel a bit more demanding. The first stretch takes you through alpine meadows, with wildflowers and grasses swaying in the breeze, before gradually shifting to a more rugged, rocky landscape as you approach the pass. As you near the top, a stunning ridge walk awaits, offering panoramic views of the towering peaks and sprawling valleys below. This ridge, with its sweeping vistas and sheer drops on either side, is a highlight of the journey, making every step feel exhilarating and rewarding.
As you ascend, the panoramic views become more expansive, and the beauty of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and forests unfolds. The towering peaks of the Pir Panjal range and Dhauladhar range will dominate your view, offering a backdrop of snow-capped summits that are nothing short of mesmerizing. In the Dhauladhar range, you'll catch sight of Hanuman Tibba, the highest peak of this range. Meanwhile, the Pir Panjal range showcases majestic peaks such as Indrasan, Friendship Peak, Shikar Beh, Mukar Beh, Deo Tibba, and the striking Papsura.
Upon reaching the Chandrakhani Pass at an altitude of 3,700 meters, you’ll be treated to stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The feeling of achievement that comes with standing at the pass, where the Himalayas stretch out before you, is incomparable. Take some time to rest, capture the breathtaking scenery in photos, and appreciate the incredible distance you've trekked to get here.
Chandrakhani Pass is a high mountain pass that serves as a natural connection between the Kullu Valley and the ancient, mysterious Malana Village. Crossing this pass offers a unique experience, as it acts as a gateway to one of the most culturally rich and secluded regions in Himachal Pradesh. Malana is famed for its distinct traditions and governance system, believed to be one of the oldest democracies in the world. The villagers consider their customs, language, and way of life reflect their pride in this heritage.
After soaking in the views of Chandrakhani Pass, you’ll begin your descent back to Naya Tapru. The downhill trek is slightly easier on the muscles but still requires careful footing as you navigate the rocky terrain and loose gravel. The journey back provides new perspectives of the landscapes you’ve passed earlier, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of the area from a different angle.
Reaching Naya Tapru in the late afternoon, you'll have time to rest, relax, and reflect on the achievements of the day. The tranquility of Naya Tapru, with its expansive meadows and scenic beauty, is the perfect spot to unwind after an exhilarating day of trekking. End your day with a hearty meal and a restful night in the camp.

On the final day of your Chandrakhani Pass trek, you’ll begin with a peaceful morning at Naya Tapru. After a wholesome breakfast, you’ll prepare for your last trek as you make your way back to Rumsu. The route to Rumsu is a gentle descent, offering a pleasant change after the previous days of uphill climbs. Over the course of 4 to 5 kilometers, you will retrace the trail through the beautiful forests and meadows you passed earlier, gradually making your way back to Rumsu Village.
As you descend, you’ll be able to absorb the lush greenery and peaceful atmosphere that the lower altitudes provide. The walk is relaxing and offers ample opportunities to reflect on the incredible journey you’ve just completed. The path winds through alpine forests, with tall pine and deodar trees lining the way, creating a serene environment that contrasts with the rugged landscapes you encountered higher up.
The trek to Rumsu typically takes around 3 to 4 hours, depending on the pace. Once you reach the village, you’ll be greeted with a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction, having completed the Chandrakhani Pass trek in its entirety. Here, you’ll board a vehicle that will take you back to Manali, marking the end of your adventure. The scenic 2-hour drive back to Manali offers one last chance to enjoy the beautiful landscapes, with valleys and mountains framing the road as you descend into the town.
Arriving in Manali, you’ll have time to unwind, freshen up, and perhaps share stories with fellow trekkers about the challenges and rewards of the journey.

How To Reach
Pick UP Information
- Once you have reached the assembly point of the trek in Manali, TTH will manage the rest of your travel arrangements, if you have opted for TTH's pick-up service, you can select this option during the booking process by adding it as an add-on.
Options to Reach Manali
First, you can arrive at Chandigarh, Delhi, Pathankot, or Bhuntar airport. The journey from these locations to Manali is explained below.
1. Take an overnight bus to Manali from Delhi or Chandigarh, taking a bus from Chandigarh is the most ideal option.
- Chandigarh to Manali Bus: 10 hours.
- Delhi to Manali Bus: 14 hours is hectic and takes more time.
( We always recommend going for the govt. Buses over the private ones outside the bus station as based on the experience we have found that there are very high chances of delay involved with private buses. Also, govt. Buses are always more reliable. Whichever bus you choose, just make sure to reach Manali at 10 am. )
2. You can take a flight to Bhuntar Airport (but we would not recommend it because of the high prices of the flight and very high chances of cancellations), Manali is just a couple of hours away and you can easily get a bus or a private taxi till there. If you do plan to come via Bhuntar, make sure to reach at least a day before the trek starts.
3. You can even come via train, Pathankot railway station is from where you can get direct buses to Kullu/Kasol that is 300 km from there and would take an overnight journey. Even in this case, reach a day before at Manali.
( If you prefer to travel independently, you can either take a government bus or book a private cab. Your trek coordinator will provide guidance on how to arrange for the bus or cab booking.)
Drop-Off Information

In such cases, the provision of a voucher does not apply.
In the Rare Event that TTH Shifts a Trek
We would like to emphasize that weather conditions in high-altitude areas are highly unpredictable and can undergo sudden changes at any time, irrespective of the day. Additionally, circumstances beyond our control, such as natural disasters, political unrest, pandemics, and lockdowns, may impact the feasibility of conducting a trek.

Adequate Sleep: Ensure your child gets enough sleep in the days leading up to the trek. Quality rest is crucial for altitude adaptation. Educate on Altitude Sickness: Teach your child about the symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headache, nausea, and dizziness. Encourage them to communicate any discomfort immediately. Appropriate Clothing and Gear: Dress your child in layers to adjust to changing temperatures. Ensure they have appropriate trekking gear, including sturdy footwear. Positive Mindset: Foster a positive mindset. Encourage your child, and let them know it's okay to take breaks when needed. Medical Check-Up: Schedule a medical check-up before the trek to ensure your child is fit for high-altitude activities. Consult with a healthcare professional about any potential health concerns.

Choosing the right trek for a beginner can be a bit overwhelming as there are many factors to consider such as distance, elevation gain, terrain difficulty, weather, and time of year. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right trek for a beginner:
1. Determine fitness level: Assess the fitness level of the beginner to understand their physical capabilities. This will help you select a trek that is challenging but not too difficult.
2. Choose a well-traveled trail: A well-traveled trail will have more amenities such as signposts, water stations, and shelter. It is also safer as there will be other hikers on the trail.
3. Consider the length of the trek: For beginners, it is recommended to start with a shorter trek that can be completed in a day or two. This will help them get acclimatized to trekking and build their confidence.
