Highlights
Here are 7 highlights of this trek which will convince you to do so:-
- Flora - This valley is rich with a variety of flowers which adds beauty to this valley. It consists of various flowers like Common Yarrow, Cinqefoils et cetera and many more flowers which are rare to find. It is the best alternative for The Valley of Flowers.
- Mysterious Remote Village - During this trek, you will find villages that are home for approximately 750 inhabitants. This is considered their own world where they have one mobile phone installed to communicate with the rest of the world. Just imagine, what it will give to you when you are far away from the metropolitan hustle-bustle. One word that strikes your mind is "peace".
- Nil Trekking Traffic - It is a hyperbole, but not to a great extent. During the trek, you can count on one hand the number of human beings you will encounter on the entire trail, either shepherds or zero trekkers! When you will start for this trek, chances are higher you will find yourself to be the only humans there and that’s the ultimate way of connecting with nature.
- Meadows - This trek is one of the rare occurrences when it comes to meadows. The Kalihani Pass trek has one awesome meadow after another, stunning and lovely from a distance and equally beautiful as you get closer. Not only the upper slopes are loaded with blossoming flowers, but even the lower meadows will also make you feel that they meander through a well-maintained garden. The campsite at Riyali Thatch will convince you as if you're camping in the middle of Munnar’s tea-estates!!
- Peaks - While ascending in the trek you will be mesmerized by the views of the Pir Panjal range. Standing on the top of Kalihani Pass, you will get jaw-dropping views of the Dhauladhar range as well. However, it’s the Indrasan and Deo Tibba Peak which will fetch you the top return for your money. During the summit shot, as the dark night fades to welcome a new dawn, the initial rays of the morning sun illuminate the towering peaks, injecting life to the entire valley. It is a commendable sight to behold, giving you the energy to build you in such a way that you can climb higher and higher!
- Bonus Features- When it comes to trek, you become greedy at times for the endless snow trails, and luckily you will witness two such trails. One, you have the choice to add Khanpari Tibba, an easily attainable peak (4025m) to the excursion. Summiting any peak adds a feather in your cap, and above all, it is undeniably the best spot to witness the views of the Beas River Valley. Secondly, our trek makes you visit a small tarn named Rani Sui Lake(3990m). This magnificent pristine lake is covered by meadows and provides 360 degrees panoramic views of the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges. Hence, no doubt the trail offers unlimited wanders.
- The Pass- When you reach the pass you will feel rewarded with the view of the valley. You will reach there after negotiating endless scree and tough moraines. The one who is going to climb this trek must have at least completed one trek.
