Itinerary & instructions

Day 1. Arrive at Janglik The base camp of Buran Ghati Trek is Janglik. We start our journey from Shimla which lies 10 hours away from the base camp— Janglik. Though a little long, the drive from Shimla to our base camp is totally worth the distance. It is breathtaking how the roads run alongside a beautiful river and the scenery starts changing itself into something even prettier as time passes by as if to please its visitors. As we drive from Shimla and pass via Rohu, we witness small villages which beautifully carry their culture and history within the simple architecture of their houses and surroundings. Rohu is the last spot where you will find an ATM and also, after crossing Rohu you will barely find any network in your mobile phones. Tanglu can be reached following a dirt path soon as we cross Chirgoan. Thereafter, the dirt path dips into the river and takes us across to Diude. A little walking is incorporated from Diude to reach Janglik.
Day 2. Trek from Janglik to Dayara The beginning of this trekking journey is indeed the most amusing one. As we walk ahead, we see an atmosphere that seems to be so different from the usual dullness of the urbanized world. Flowers and fields, small colorful houses and gigantic mountains in the background only add up to that finishing touch. As we walk a little more, we come across the most beautiful part of Day 1- a bird's eye’s view of Diude and Tonglu and several other small villages that we have crossed. Reaching this point will be like a mini achievement for the day as you would know that you have earned the view that you are savoring. Soon we will be amidst oak and pine trees alongside which calming streams will flow. With every step, the trek will get a little more substantial and nourishing. As we keep walking, the trees will narrow out and a greener and the more spacious sphere will take over. These are the Dayara meadows. A large mass of greenery mostly covered by a blanket of yellow flowers that seems to be nothing less than you living a cinematic moment. The cherry on top of it would be the variation of snow-clad mountains at its background.
Day 3. Trek from Dayara to Litham The meadows have the best kind of mornings. The green grass seems to change their color as the rays of the sun touch them. You will be mesmerized as you see the nature around you wake up and put up for you the best they have to offer. The trial to Litham from the meadows of Dayara takes a dip into the thick forests. As you start wondering if the meadows are over, nature will send you a chain of charming meadows to quench the thirst which was still to be satisfied. As we move forward, we come across the Gunas Pass and the snow-covered Dhuladhar mountains. The demarcation between the greens and whites at this spot is remarkably auspicious. Going further we will come across another forest named Bhoj which has an incredibly beautiful setting after which we can see Litham clearly. The trial thereafter brings us to the highlight of Buran Ghati Trek which is the Chandranahan stream. Across the Chandranahan stream lays our campsite at Litham. Litham as a campsite is considered to cater the best because of its strategically beautiful location. It allows us to explore the Chandranahan waterfall as well as the lake before we settle for the night.
Day 4. Excursion to Chandranahan lake Chandranahan Lake gives you the best of scenic views that you require after days of exploration. Even though the part of the trek may seem to be a little uphill, trust me, it is all worth it at the end of the day. Chandranahan is surrounded by mountains on every side which more or less resembles a little child being protected by his mother. This day in your Buran Ghati Trekking comes with a cluster of adventures. We retrace our footsteps back in order to reach Chandranahan from Litham campsite following the upstream trail towards the snout of the waterfall; as from the snout, the lake is merely an hour away. This walk takes us to a view so beautiful that you may just forget that something even more phenomenal could lie beyond it. This is the time when we reach the nose of the waterfall. Walk-in a foot sure manner and all you must do from time to time is look around and take back with you the most splendid vista of all times. There are numeral things to notice in Chandranahan Lake. We shall give you enough time to savor the big and small details that we lack in our day to day life. That’s what trekking is all about–achieving one step at a time and making memories while doing so. After a long day, the only thing we need to keep in mind is to return to Litham by lunchtime as it is a steep way back.
Day 5. Trek from Lithan to Dhunda Today we start our trek with an enormous climb of 13,000 ft. which will take around two hours to complete. From this point, we will be able to see the Gunas Pass which will be resting over the mountains that are snow-chad. The Dhuladhar Range can be seen towering over the trails. This makes it an amalgam of grey mountains, white snow and the green grasslands of Litham. Every climb that you have had all this time will seem to pay off as you see wonders of nature all around you from Litham on your left to Rupin Valley to your right. This place gives you the first view of Buran Ghati. You can spend quality time there and capture the moment of accomplishment. Dhunda is just two hours away from the pass. Buran Ghati Pass has been the most awaited part of the entire trekking experience. Hence, we shall have to start climbing and take the shepherd trail that leads to the pass. You’ll want to freeze the moment, but you must keep walking. The climb to Dhunda is marked well. About an hour into the climb, you reach the ridge top Dhubda, bringing much, much clearer views of the next day’s adventure. Buran Ghati looks phenomenal from up here. Dhunda might even be the prettiest campsite of the Buran Ghati trek, with its stellar alpine views that whet your excitement for the next day’s journey. Not to mention the sublime view of the star-studded night skies that watch over the Dhunda campsite! Retire to your tents for a good night’s sleep before kickstarting the most anticipated day of the trek.
Day 6. Trek from Dhunda to Munirang (River Camp) via Buran Ghati Pass The most exciting, challenging and nerve-racking day of the trek. Begin early in the morning for the River Camp. The snow is almost all melted in September, so crossing the pass isn’t very difficult. The trail goes is strewn with several boulders near the base of the Buran Ghati pass, from where the pass is an hour’s climb, almost entirely on snow. Now comes the best part – the seemingly lethal descent down to the other side. The climb down is extremely steep, and cannot be attempted without a rope. An ice-axe might really come in handy here. The first 100 meters is the real challenge, following which you can choose to slide down the smaller, gentler slopes. Given the sharp descent, you lose considerable altitude, nearly 3,000 ft., quite rapidly. Two hours later, the snow line ends and the trail dips down to clusters of juniper and some lovely shrubs. A sprawling blanket of greenery rests on the entire valley, beyond which you can see tall, towering mountain ranges dominating the skyline. An hour’s descent and a stream-crossing later, the River camp greets you, right by the first few huts.
Day 7. Trek from Munirang (River Camp) to Barua Village and Drive to Shimla The trail to Barua village entails stunning diversity of vegetation, coupled with stark changes in scenery. Follow the widest of the trails tailing the Barua Khud, as it meanders through beautiful mixed forests. Within 2 hours you reach a makeshift bridge guided by the lovely junipers that mark the way. Once on the other side, treat your eyes to a criss-cross of lovely floral purples. Soon, you come across the first of apple orchards. Multiple apple and other orchards greet you as you reach Barua. From Barua, you’ll be driven back to Shimla, where you can expect to reach by 10:30 PM. This ends your trek. The cab cost is not included in the package prices.
