Manali → Kasol
Cross Chandrakhani Pass (3,660m) early in the morning for the clearest views. The pass is a broad saddle between two ridges — easy walking but the altitude makes it feel harder. From the top, the panorama is extraordinary: the entire Great Himalayan range from Deo Tibba to Indrasan, the Kullu Valley on one side and the Malana Valley on the other. Begin the descent toward Malana — the trail drops steeply through forest to the mysterious village of Malana (2,650m), an ancient settlement whose inhabitants claim descent from Alexander's soldiers. Malana has its own parliament, its own laws, and outsiders are not permitted to touch villagers or their property. A fascinating cultural encounter.
