Buran Ghati Trek is both, Jack and Master of all the trades. Located deep in the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh, this particular trek inhabits every possible perk. From large fields of yellow flowers to camping over a cliff on a barren mountain, this trek offers you so much more than any other trek.
If one has to term a trek nearly as perfect, Buran Ghati is the one. It is a journey that accompanies you through peace, natural beauty, exciting challenges, and bumpy adventures.

As much of the name suggests, one of the major attractions of the trek is the meadows. Throughout the entire route, you pass from one meadow to another. What’s special to this is that every meadow is distinct from each other. Some are laden with blooming yellow flowers, and others are patched with nut-brown wild horses.
Doesn’t it sound like a paradise? More than the comfort, it is a natural beauty that captivates you. It is a typical Spring and Autumn trek that boasts large open clearings with unimaginable lush green grasslands. Be it Dayara Bugyal or the other bugyals, all of them will keep surprising you throughout the way.

Not to forget the mountains. All along the way, you will also be accompanied by ranges of snow-capped mountains. Imagine it in this way - It’s like you are walking in your lush green garden with blooming flowers, and instead of your home, it is these mountains on your side. Wouldn’t it be a sight to behold forever?
Well, we can’t express to you much of the part. But another thing you should know about this perfectly imperfect trek is the forests. The initial trail ventures through dense forests of oak, pine, and maple. But there is something special about the forests this trail takes you through.
The smell and the feel they exhibit are unparalleled. During the trek, sometimes you want to get lost and wander away in the wild. These forests make you fall in love with the wilderness and you suddenly wish the day to never end. Well, the surprises have just started to come.
Right after the forests, you enter the open lands of meadows and then you realize why this trek is called one of the most perfect treks in entire India.
Chandranahan Lake is another which you cannot miss out on. Nestled quietly amidst the mighty mountains and blooming meadows, Chandranahan lake gives you a view similar to what Kashmir offers you. Unlike other alpine lakes, this lake stays completely silent all around the year and stays astonishingly blue.
With glacial mountains in the backdrop and wildflowers bordering the landscape, you cannot ask for anything more mesmerizing scene ever in your life. As this trek doesn’t see a large community of trekkers on a daily basis, we are sure you might get some time along beside the lake.
Wouldn’t you want to just sit then and there and vanish out all the negativity from yourself?
Last but not least is the special Buran pass trek. Usually, other pass treks do not give you a challenging climb and are too easy to get a feeling of achievement. But Buran Ghati pass trek is something you must have never experienced before.
