Duration: 8 Days Level: ModerateHad it not been the wind blown ridges of the Chandrakhani pass, thee would have been no valley of the gods in Himachal Pradesh. Local lore has it that when the great gos jamlu was passing through Chandrakhani, with all the minor devtas packed in a sack, a fierce wind blew open the fasteings and the devtas were scattered all over the Kullu valley.
The pass itself is a vast windswept ridegeling, with cairns doting its length and panoramic views enfolding it. The snow-capped peaks of the Pir Panjal range and the Ghalpo peaks of Lahaul stand to the north of the pass and, to the south, the hills roll away like dunes all the way to Shimla.
A steep descent leads from the Chandrakhani pass to the quint- and rather isolated-Malana village, with its famously reserved cultural practices (and its world renowened hashish). The uper Malana valey is worth the five-day foray to see the hanging glaciers of the valley, which give rise to the feisty Malana river. Exit via the Rashol pass into Kashol and further into the Pavati valley. End the trek with a refreshing bath in the hot springs here.

Try to pick destinations at least nine hours apart- We thought we were doing ourselves a favor by eliminating flight time, but really, we were happiest on our nine-12 hour flights (in business class).
