Darati Pass Pangi Valley Sach Pass Trek with Dalhousie Chamba Sightseeing: Overview
One of the most unexplored high altitude passes in Pir-Panjal Range, Darati Pass allows adventurous and enthralling trekking option to the adrenaline junkies. This pass is positioned in Chamba District and links the Churah Valley with the Pangi Valleys of Himachal. Darati Pass is another route to the Pangi. Sach Pass is also a gateway to Pangi Valley. Pangi Valley in the upper part of Chamba District is a remote world in itself. Placed between the Middle and the Greater Himalaya, Pangi remained locked within itself. The Valley is remained land locked for about six - eight months due to heavy snow fall.
