Q. Which Pass connects Naggar with Malana village?
Show answer
Chanderkhani Pass
Description: Chanderkhani Pass connect Naggar with famous Malana village in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh at a height of 3660 meters.
Chanderkhani Pass forms a way (pass) between the villages of Rumsu and Pulag to the village of Malana, which indirectly forms a trekking route from Naggar to Malana across the Chanderkhani Pass.
The pass has a lot of religious importance as it’s considered a seat of meditation for the Saptarishi Jamadagni. A legend has it that there was once a local deity named Jamlu of Malana, and he had in his hand a basket of the local gods, once he was on the top of the pass, he opened the basket and incidentally a strong wind came by and blew away all the idols to the nearby peaks, which is why all the nearby mountain peaks of Indrasan, Deo Tibba, Pir Panjal Range & Parbati Range are considered holy and can be seen very clearly from the pass.
