Chanshal Bugyal Trek

About the trek

Chanshal, The highest peak of paradise. Nestled in the dense reserve forest of Govind Pashu Vihar is a perfect tiny village, Dhaula. Its not only the base camp for Rupin Pass but also the bump-free and slush-free path to Changshal. What’s more its open to climb the mighty bugiyal throughout the year. Which I might add, as well, is not the case for other treks as the roads are slippery after the snow freezes like a glassy surface for months to come. The Rupin River cascading past rocks and boulders provides the perfect mystic setting for the start of an unforgettable journey.

From Dhaula we start with a gentle climb, passing by small village cottages, made of wood and stone, surrounded with ferns of different shades of green. The chirping of the birds will keep you company and if you have a keen eyesight you will behold the tiniest bird in the bush. The apple orchards with red fruits, is a gathering tower, for the wild green gossiping parrots. Silver strings are hung to scare them, but the intelligent birds can’t be fooled for long.
