About Chandrakhaini Pass – Malana Trek
The Chandrakhaini Pass – Malana Trek is one of the most scenic and culturally rich Himalayan treks in Himachal Pradesh. Starting from the heritage village of Naggar, the trail climbs through dense pine and deodar forests, alpine meadows, and high ridges before crossing the beautiful Chandrakhaini Pass (approx. 3,660 m).
From the pass, trekkers are rewarded with panoramic views of the Pir Panjal, Dhauladhar, and Parvati Valley ranges, followed by a dramatic descent into the ancient and mysterious village of Malana — known for its unique culture and traditions.
This trek is perfect for travelers searching for a short Himalayan trek from Delhi, combining adventure, nature, and village exploration in just three days.
