About the Trek
The Manali Chandrakhani Pass Trek is the perfect mix of easy on the legs and heavy on the breathtaking vibes. Starting from Naggar village (just a stone’s throw from Manali), you’ll wander through lush forests, roll through alpine meadows, and gasp at snow-capped peaks that belong on a postcard—or better yet, your Insta feed.
Not to mention, the route takes you through the cutest villages and hamlets, where you’ll get a sneak peek into local life and culture. Think of it as your IRL travel vlog.

Adaptability: From sun to snow, you’ll face it all like a boss.
