Chandrakhani Pass

Chandrakhani Pass is located in the Kullu District at a height of 3,660 metres. It forms a way (pass) between the villages of Rumsu and Pulag to the well known village of Malana, which indirectly forms a trekking route from Naggar to Malana across the Chandrakhani Pass.

The pass has a lot of religious importance as it was once the seat of meditation for the Saptarishi Jamadagni. A legend has it that there was once a local deity named Jamlu of Malana, and he had in his had a basket of the local gods. Once he was on the top of the pass, he opened the basket and incidentally a strong wind came by and blew away all the idols to the nearby peaks, which is why all the nearby mountain peaks of Indrasan, Deo Tibba, Pir Pinjal & Parbati Range are considered holy and can be seen very clearly from the pass.

 

There are treks conducted to this pass regularly, either from the village of Malana or the town of Naggar. When the trek starts in Naggar, one passes through the village of Rumsu and then to a place named 'Stelling' after which one passes through the base camps of 'Ghankuladi', 'Chaklani' , after which one would reach Chandrakhani Pass and then descend on to 'Nagroni' and then to Malana village.

Chandrakhani Pass is a must visit on your trip Kullu-Manali.
