Why is Buran Ghati a Must-Do Himalayan Trek?

If you are searching for the best Himalayan trek in India that combines thrill, beauty, and adventure, then Buran Ghati Trek in Himachal Pradesh should be at the top of your list.

This trek is often called the perfect Himalayan trek because it offers everything an adventurer dreams of—lush green meadows, dense oak and pine forests, centuries-old Himachali villages, shimmering glacial lakes, and snow-capped mountain views. Every day on the trail feels like stepping into a new world.

The highlight of the Buran Ghati Pass Trek is the exhilarating 15,000 ft pass crossing, where trekkers rappel down icy walls with ropes—an adrenaline-pumping experience rarely found in other treks. Add to this the breathtaking campsites and sweeping views of the Pabbar Valley and Kinnaur ranges, and you’ll know why Buran Ghati is considered one of the most thrilling Himalayan treks in India.

Whether you are a seasoned trekker or an adventure seeker looking for your next challenge, Buran Ghati offers the perfect balance of raw adventure, natural beauty, and cultural exploration.

That’s why it’s not just another trek—it’s a must-do Himalayan adventure that every trekker should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Day 1Drive from Shimla to Janglik.

Drive Distance: 160 km | Drive Duration: 9-10 hours approx. | Altitude: Janglik – 2804m | Pick up point: ISBT,TUTIKANDI,SHIMLA

Your adventure begins with a long and scenic drive from Shimla to Janglik, a quaint Himalayan village that serves as the starting point of the trek. The journey takes you through winding mountain roads, apple orchards, and beautiful Himachali landscapes. As you arrive in Janglik, you’ll be welcomed by the charm of traditional wooden houses and a serene mountain atmosphere—perfect to prepare you for the days ahead.

Day 2Janglik to Dayara Thatch.

Trek Distance: 6-7 km approx. | Trek Duration: 5-6 hours approx. | Altitude: Dayara Thatch – 3400m. | GPS DATA

The trail from Janglik to Dayara Thatch gradually ascends through lush pine and oak forests, opening up into vast meadows. These meadows, known as thatch locally, are dotted with wildflowers and surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Dayara Thatch is one of the most picturesque campsites of the trek, offering wide-open spaces and stunning sunset views.

Day 3Dayara Thatch to Litham.

Trek Distance: 4-5 km approx.  | Trek Duration: 3-4 hrs approx. | Altitude: Litham – 3600m. | GPS DATA 

Today’s trail is relatively short but rewarding. You’ll walk through rolling meadows and cross streams fed by glacial waters. The landscape keeps changing as you leave the grassy expanse behind and move closer to Litham. Situated near a gushing river and surrounded by high mountains, Litham makes for a dramatic campsite where trekkers often get their first real sense of high-altitude wilderness.

Trek Distance: 6 km approx. (Both side) | Trek Duration: 4-5 hrs approx. | Altitude: Chandranahan Lake– 4029m. | GPS DATA 

This day is crucial for acclimatization. A short hike takes you to the pristine Chandranahan Lake, fed by snowmelt and nestled at an altitude of over 4,000 meters. This glacial lake is sacred to locals and surrounded by rugged peaks. The breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters make it a highlight of the trek.

Trek Distance: 8-9 km approx. | Trek Duration: 10-11 hrs approx. | Altitude: Buran Ghati Pass- 4572m | Munirang – 3338m. | GPS DATA 

This is the most thrilling and challenging day of the trek. Starting early, you ascend towards the Buran Ghati Pass, which stands at a staggering 15,000 ft. From the top, the views are breathtaking—snowy ridges and endless Himalayan ranges all around.

The real adventure begins during the descent, where trekkers rappel down steep snow walls with ropes—a once-in-a-lifetime adrenaline experience. After a long and exciting day, you finally reach Munirang, a campsite surrounded by forests at lower altitude.

Day 7Munirang to Barua Village and Drive to Shimla.
