Buran Ghati Trek (Detailed Itinerary)

While driving to Janglik, you will pass through scenic views that are worth capturing. You will drive along the Pabbar river and dense forest. The sides of the road are beautifully adorned by step fields of wheat and lovely Himachal homes. 

On your way to Janglik, you will come across charming forests of pine and oak trees. Also, all the trekkers will be served with hot lunch. It is important to know that the last ATM point is present at Rohru. If required, withdraw cash.

Get up early in the morning and witness the mesmerizing valley view right from your campsite. Before starting our trek for the day, we will have a delicious breakfast along with hot tea. Get ready to trek for Dayara Thatch through attractive wooden farmhouses and wheat fields. 

These wooden houses with eye-catchy roofs are sure to grab your attention. After trekking for about an hour, you will get an attractive view of Diude, Tonglu, and other small villages.  

All the trekkers need to ascend unless you arrive at a forest covered with Pine and Oak trees. After trekking for 30 minutes through the forest cover, trekkers will start to descend. 

While trekking, we will also step on to a ledge where you can rest for some time and admire the beauty of nature. After resting, we will again trek and enter coniferous forest cover and then finally into the lush green paddocks of Dayara.

After reaching Dayara Thatch, you will see that Dayara is gorgeously surrounded on all sides with snow covered mountains. Hot dinner will be served to trekkers at the campsite after which they can retire and rest.

Once you cross the forest of Bhoj trees and stream, you will get the first sight of Litham. Again, you need to walk in the beautiful meadow, cross the Chandranahan stream and then finally arrive at the campsite. 

Once you reach Litham, you will realize that it is one of the most gorgeous campsites. From here, you can also get an outstanding view of Chandranahan waterfalls. Rest in the camp and get ready to trek for the next day.

We will start our day early in the morning because today’s ascent, as well as descent, is steep. In order to do an acclimatization walk, we will visit Chandranahan lake after having breakfast. 

Get ready to take lots of pictures because a walk to Chandranahan lake is very rewarding and exciting at the same time. From Litham to Chandranahan lake, it is almost a 6 km trek. 

The glacial lake of Chandranahan is mainly fed by the mountains that surround it. To reach this lake, the trekkers need to cross the stream present before the Litham campsite and then continue trekking unless we reach the ridge. This is the place where you can see the lake emerging. 

From all the sides of the lake, you will see several small waterfalls falling. Try spending some time here, absorb the serenity, and refresh your soul. In the month of June, you can find snow here.  

We will head back to Litham, have lunch and spend the rest of the day relaxing at the camp. Night stay will be scheduled in the camp itself.

After reaching the base, you have to trek for an hour to reach the top of the pass. You will find that the track is often covered with snow as it touches an elevation of 15,000ft. 

Be prepared to enjoy the breathtaking views of nature once you reach the top. It is better to use rope while descending because the trail might be slippery. Also, make sure you follow the direction of your instructor carefully. 

Located at a height of 15,000ft, the trek to Buran Ghati is really exciting and adventurous. Through the ridge that runs along the pass, you will reach the base. All the trekkers will stay in camp at night.
