Concealed deep within the hilly, far-off Pabbar Valley of Himachal Pradesh, the Chandernahan Trek is an off-beat yet stunning high-altitude trek that leads visitors to a series of glacial lakes nestled in snow-capped mountains. The mythological and serene trek, interspersed with virgin Himalayan landscapes, is a delicate mix of alpine meadows, pine forests, waterfalls, and high-altitude lakes—ideal for all who seek a virgin off-beat adventure.
Beginning at the hill town of Janglik, the trek is a challenging changeover from hill rural to harsh alpine wasteland, ultimately at the holy Chandernahan Lakes at an elevation of approximately 4,200 meters. The trek would best be for trekkers who would enjoy trekking untracked off the beaten track on less traveled Himalayan trails.
