This was my first trek in Himalayas and I totally enjoyed it. Natural beauty was everywhere forest and snow covered mountains. People in the group were very friendly and our trip leader was very helpful. Food during the was also good and best time was in the evening when after a day long trek you sit together other fellow travel and have lot fun on campsite. It was one of the best trip of my life.

One place that changes my perception about Himachal is Chanderkhani. Damn beautiful, for a minute I felt I'm trekking somewhere in Switzerland. Awesome experience guys.

The beauty of the Himalayas is simply indescribable and if anything could show you that, its this mindblowing experience at the Chanderkhaini Pass in Himachal. It is simply breathtakinga nd the trek is something like out of a fairytale. Pretty villages, charming outsposts, you will see everything and more on this exciting excursion.

The first part of the trek was through a forest. There were many paths immediately above Rumsu and I was happy that Hira was with me to show the way. As we went up, the snow capped peaks of the further ranges of the Dhauladhar on the other side of the Beas valley became visible. We passed some nice camping sites. With some more altitude gain,i get to meet new people and also made new friends and had an awesome trek.

Chanderkhani Trek was indeed a pleasant experience. Apart from awesome trekking experience I got to meet such wonderful people. The best thing about these treks is that no matter you are solo or with friends you get meet so many new people - it was more of a learning experience for me.
