Malana Village Trek is something that I never even read about. Recently, I saw a FB share from an acquaintance but beautiful and popular Trekking spots in Himachal Pradesh. This trek is near Chandra Khanni Pass. Apart from the beautiful trek, the tribal village of Malana is very gorgeous and rich in culture and heritage. This village is one of the oldest democracy in the world. This trek ends at the Baralacha Pass on the Manali-Leh road. After which we took a bike ride to Leh.

The trek is fun. Although, I would call it expensive, and also that the organizers gave not even 10% discount, the trek was indeed fun and exciting. I just wish this was cheaper.

surprisingly, the people here were quite friendly. However, we ensured we do not encroach their privacy. The village is so peaceful and quaint and amazing in so many ways than one. We wish we stayed her elonger just to enjoy the scenery. It was worth the money we paid.

While, I can go on and on about the trek for hours together, I want to share a short snippet about the most favourite part of this trip for me. Chanderkhani Pass (3650m) to Dadru(3000m) was my favourite part in the trek. This was because the trek is a hardcore trek. It takes around 5-6 hrs. We started with a short walk up to the pass early in the morning. This gave us some really memorable and impressive views that extended from the peaks in the Lahaul to the ones of the Parbati valley on one side and the small hills on the other side. It was absolutely breath taking.

The people of Malana village are rough and tough. It was indeed intimidating to visit them. After trekking up, we visited Rumsu, which is located in Kullu. This trek gets informative and informative. There is the Roerich art Gallery, Nicholas Roerich Art Museum that we visited. Those are situated at Naggar village. We learnt a lot on the rich historicity of Himachal Pradesh villages and culture.
