About Buran Ghati Trek

7 Days
moderate

Buran Ghati at 15,000 ft is a thrilling high-altitude pass in Himachal Pradesh that involves a dramatic 70-degree snow wall rappel on the descent — one of the most adrenaline-pumping moments on any Indian trek. This 7-day difficult trek from Janglik village passes through dense forests, shepherd meadows, glacial campsites, and culminates in a technical pass crossing with fixed ropes. The diversity of terrain — from green valleys to glacial snow — makes Buran Ghati one of the most complete trekking experiences in the Himalayas.
