Malana Trek

MALANA THE DESCENDENT OF THE GREAT ALEXANDER
The trek begins at Naggar after a short drive from Manali of the left bank of River Beas. After crossing the Chanderkhani Pass (3600m), this trek gets to the Malana village, famous for its distinct and very reserved social culture. Care and respect for local customs is essential.

Day 01 Manali – Rumsu Thach (2600m) 3-4 hours
The team will be transported by jeep to Naggar (21 km) from Manali. Delightfully situated on a wooded slope and commanding an extensive view of the valley, it is famous for its temples, ancient castle, and the Roerich Art Gallery. From Naggar, it’s a gradual climb up to Rumsu.

Day 02: Rumsu – Nauya Tapru (below Chanderkhani Pass) 4-5 hours
It’s a steady and gradual climb on the second day to just below the Chanderkhani Pass at Nauya Tapru. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, Jamlu (the presiding deity of Malana) was carrying a basket containing the Gods of Kullu. On the top of the pass, when he opened the basket, a very strong wind blew and the Gods fell all over the Kullu valley to their present abodes. Since then, the valley is known as “the valley of Gods”.

On the top of Chanderkhani Pass (3600m) one can have a striking view of Deo Tibba, overlooking the Malana glen and other snow-capped mountains on the Spiti border. From there one descends to Malana village. Malana comprises of two parts about a hundred yards apart.
