We begin the day with a short walk to the Naggar Castle, a very interesting castle built in stone and wood, in the combined style of the Himalayan and European architecture with incredible art pieces on display, and the Roerich Art Gallery, a tribute to the Russian painter that sits amidst well-manicured gardens. After that we start trekking a short but steep trail, with the impressive views of the Kullu Valley keeping you company. Camp in an idyllic forest clearing at 2300 metres.
A fairly easier trek than what you might expect, we trek uphill. We cross the alpine forest cover after which the landform turns into flat meadows. Our campsite amidst the meadows, under the Chanderkhani Pass offers apeacefulsetting surrounded by the towering peaks. Difficulty: Easier than you expect for the accent. 3.5 hours trekking. Watch as the forests change character as we gain height. Camp above the trees at 3300 metres surrounded by mountain peaks with views of the pass above.
Difficulty: Today we scale up the Chanderkhani Pass, and revel in the breathtaking views of the valley right upto the peaks of Lahual and Spiti, At the end of the day we camp at a shepherd’s clearing at Nagruniwhile enjoying the views of the Malana Valley.

Today you may choose how long or short you want the trek to be. We climb up the valley and head to Malana, while walking past small villages, waterfalls and farmlands following the course of the river. The village of Malana, by itself, is quite interesting with its own social set up preserved over thousands of years and its own form of democracy.
