Submit Why Buran Ghati is the Perfect Himalayan Getaway Situated in the Pabbar Valley of Himachal Pradesh, the Buran Ghati trek (or Burando Pass) starts from the idyllic village of Janglik. Ascending from the diverse terrain, you will experience scenic villages, grassy meadows, glistening streams, and forests of pine. What makes this trek special is the sudden transition from verdant valleys to desolate, icy land as you near the pass, which is at 15,000 ft. Buran Ghati is unique in that it has an adrenaline-packed rappel descent from the pass, typically with ropes, so that the trek remains a high-altitude crossover trek as unbridled and cinematic as life can be. Trek Highlights: Altitude: 15,000 ft (approx.) Trek Duration: 8-9 days Trek Distance: 39–45 km (approx.) Difficulty: Moderate to Difficult Best Season: Mid-May to Mid-June and Mid-September to October Is This Trek for You? While Buran Ghati is both beginner-friendly as well as for experienced individuals, a care must be taken over the physical and mental efforts of the trek. There are snow walks, rigorous climbs, and a technical descent from the pass; hence a good level of physical fitness and training is needed. Best For: Beginner fitness enthusiasts who would love to venture into the domain of high-altitude treks. Intermediate trekkers who look for visual variance and some technicality. Photography enthusiasts, with changing perspectives day by day. Not Ideal For: Patients of respiratory or cardiovascular diseases.
