Trek connecting Malana to Naggar
Chanderkhani Pass connects the controversial, cannabis-associated village of Malana to the quieter town of Naggar via a dramatic high-altitude trek at 3,660m. It sees noticeably less footfall than better-known Kullu-area treks like Hamta Pass or Sar Pass, despite comparably striking alpine scenery along the way. Best time is May–September. The route offers a practical bonus beyond scenery: it's a legitimate way to experience Malana's setting without lingering in the village itself, for travelers who want the landscape without engaging with Malana's more contentious tourist dynamics. Naggar's art and heritage sites make a solid endpoint after the crossing.
