Trek to Kalihani Pass
A trail of Legendary Gaddhi’s (Shepard’s)

This trek route follows an old Shepard trail between Kangra and Kullu. Trek starts from Manali through a massive forest of Giant Deodar (Cedar), Alder and oak. The trail gradually climbs to the lush green meadow of Lamadugh. Brilliant shrubs of Rhododendron and Birch pave the way. The higher meadows of Khanpari offer excellent view of the mountain peaks of Kullu and Lahaul. Usually After 15th June or if snow conditions permits then may be earlier in the year, one can trek to the top of Kalihani pass (4,797 Mts.). The walk to the top (Sept – Oct) is on moraine and ice which remain covered with snow in May and June. Breathtaking view envelops the crest of the Pass. To the West one can view tremendous view of Dhauladhar Range. Return back to the meadows and then straddle through the ridge to finally descent on road head at Pangan Village, Village also houses a Monastery and nunnery.
