Chanderkhani Pass trek is one of those treks that gives you a chance to grab a short escape from the crowded city and enjoy walking through the meadows and forests. This trek takes you on a route full of oak and pine forests complemented by panoramic views of the Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal ranges.

The three-day-long trek starts from a small isolated town of Naggar that is also often categorized as the haunted town of Himachal Pradesh. One thing that makes this trek utterly special is the continuous steepness of the trail. Even though it is still perfectly easy for any person to trek, but still the route sometimes becomes a little exhausting.

Guess what, the same steep route also offers you the best views of Malana and Kull Valley together. Once you reach the pass, the entire landscape looks like a meadowy ridge that seems to extend as far as you can see.

More than anything Chanderkhani pass height of 11,800 ft. is famous for its meadows on the top. The route that is full of steep boulders and narrow paths cutting through hills, opens up to a large clearing. When you look across the field, it glows with blooming wildflowers and lush green meadows. The meadowy ridge seems as if you are somewhere in the middle of a massive grassland.
