Malana Village Trek Package with Chanderkhani pass

Below the Chanderkhani pass of the Kullu Valley lies a small cluster of around two hundred stone roof houses constituting a village called Malana.  Its inimitable culture and the temple of Jamlu distinguish the village.  The village consists of around 1500 inhabitants and has an impeccable system of administration with a higher and lower court guided by the spirit of village God Jamlu.  Malana stands out as an autonomous self-sufficient unit whose inhabitants claim Greek ancestry.
