The Buran Ghati Trek is an exhilarating high-altitude adventure that blends breathtaking landscapes with thrilling challenges. At 15,000 ft (4,572 m), this trek offers an incredible mix of dense forests, vast meadows, snowfields, and an adrenaline-pumping ice wall descent. Starting from Janglik, a charming Himalayan village, the trail takes you through enchanting pine and oak forests, the stunning Dayara meadows, and serene alpine streams. As you ascend, the landscape opens up to reveal jaw-dropping views of Chandranahan Lake, a glacial marvel. The highlight of the trek is crossing Buran Pass, where trekkers navigate an exciting snow slide down the steep descent into the breathtaking Baspa Valley of Kinnaur. With a moderate to difficult difficulty level, the Buran Ghati Trek is ideal for seasoned trekkers looking for a mix of adventure and scenic beauty. The best time to trek is May to June and September to October, when the trail offers a perfect balance of lush greenery and snow-covered terrain.
