Overview

About Buran Ghati : The Boundary Separating Kinnaur from Shimla

TrailHikers welcomes you to Buran Ghati trek – Summer 2023. The untouched Buran Ghati is the less travelled, less revealed trek in the central-hills of the Himalayas. It is adorned with the most exciting river crossings, high snow walls, beautiful forests, endless grasslands, mountain peaks and villages you’ve never dreamt off. Buran Ghati is unquestionably the most amazing and adventurous trek. The trek takes you to the tremendous walkway marked in the middle of snow mountains & valleys. Where the walk ends, rappelling begins, where rappelling ends, discovery begins.

The end point of the Buran Ghati trek, Barua village has a rich cultural & historical heritage. The village set amidst the mountains, forests and grasslands and most deadliest road which will take you to Sangla (a dream destination).

This untouched trek begins at Janglikh, a village situated in the upper region of Shimla district at left bank of Pabber river. The first half of Buran Ghati trek is about getting over the Pabbar valley, exploring the holy Chandranahan Lakes (The Seven glacial ponds), and conquering the Buran Pass at 4,580 m. The second half is exploring over the Baspa Valley (The Land of Shiva). The trek ends there and you can go for exploring the Baspa valley or you can go back to your own destination.
