Chanshal Pass Trek offers some of the most preserved and stunning views over the hills of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The pass can be accessed by a motorable road , but the road is functional only in the snow free seasons. As the Chanshal Peak and Pass are highest in the Shimla district, it remains brushed under the snow carpet throughout the year, leaving a window of a few summer days. These few precious days are the golden opportunity for photographers. The rugged terrain, swirling driveway, clustered villages at Rohru, Chirgaon and Larot, lack of any imprints of habitation at the peak and the most off-road nomadic adventure
is the perfect recipe for the greatest experience. The Valley sits on top of Chanshal peak which is the highest point of Shimla
district. It is situated at height of 3750 Mtrs. The Chanshal Pass is a link (75Km) which connects Rohru & Dodra Kwar. The Chanshal Peak, which is the highest & best point of visit, is located at a distance of 50Km from Rohru. The valley is one of the best places for bike ride. Roads are steep and tough to drive. The Valley is very peaceful and famous for its scenic beauty. You can have a
view of hills covered with snow even in the month of June. You can park your vehicles on the road and trek to the top of hill. All hills are connected to each other and are easily accessible on foot. However, there is no place to stay in the Valley. Nearest accommodation available is in Rohru and there is only one guest house for stay (The Chanshal) by HPTDC. There are no shops for refreshments from Rohru till the Valley.
