Dawn light slices the Kullu Valley as the convoy climbs from the plains toward Manali, river Beas rushing below like a restless guide. Forested roads give way to fir and oak, and for two days the Chanderkhani Pass trek pulls you away from towns into quiet ridgelines where snow-capped peaks fill the horizon.

History
Manali and the Kullu Valley were traditional trade routes and later hosted Tibetan refugee communities; local Pahari culture and temple sites like Hidimba Devi reflect the region’s layered past.
Conservation
High-altitude ecosystems are fragile—stick to established trails, pack out waste, and minimize fire use; support local guides to contribute to community-based tourism.
Reserve your spot on the Private Manali tour with Trekking from Delhi today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Acclimatize before heavy gains
Spend the first full day in Manali or Kullu to let your body adjust to higher elevations and lower oxygen levels.
Sturdy footwear matters
Wear broken-in hiking boots with ankle support—the trails have roots, scree and wet sections after snowmelt.
Carry water treatment
Bottled water may be limited on trail; bring a compact filter or purification tablets to refill from streams.
Plan for weather swings
Afternoons can turn quickly from sun to wind or snow at higher elevations; pack a waterproof shell and warm mid-layer.
Hiking boots
Support and grip for mixed rocky and rooty Himalayan trails.
Layered clothing
Light base layers, warm mid-layer and waterproof shell cover variable mountain weather.
Water filter or purification tablets
Allows safe refills from mountain streams when bottled water is scarce.
Daypack with rain cover
Carries food, water, layers and emergency kit comfortably during treks.
