Shimla in Himachal Pradesh holds a pre-eminent position in world tourist spots due to its picturesque Victorian-era architecture and scenic beauty but the real gems are still lying deep under the ocean, waiting to be explored. The adventurous tracks, the heavenly scenic beauty, the pure and serene culture in align with the untainted and beautiful nature is waiting some miles away, for those who want to taste the genuine and soul satisfying nature. One can start their journey by using Rohru or Janglikh as a base. Rohru is 110 km away from Shimla and provide lots of facilities to stay and eat. One can reach Rohru by a bus or taxi in three to four hours. The place is a small town with lots of people in traditional attires and leisurely life. During the journey from Shimla to Rohru, especially after Kotkhai one can see the beautiful stretch of forest area like Nhyari and Khadapathar and historical temples of local devi-devtas like Hateswari Mata at Hatkoti (11 Km prior to Rohru).  For those who want to stay in more peace, Janglikh village (40 km away from Rohru) as their base of journey is better option. Janglikh village is a small and peaceful place with twenty five houses. It offer an interaction with the nature in raw as you stay in a tent and can have interaction with the local people, traditions, attires, food and beliefs.

The trekking starts form Janglikh, a village with a long and prosperous history.In earlier times when there was no road to Kinnaur; when people had to walk over high passes in order to reach Kinnaur, the trek through Pabbar valley was most frequent one by both locals and European travelers. Travel of Europeans gave access to rare cash and employment to villagers of Tungu, Romai and Janglikh while local travelers which included mostly Kinnauras gave wealth to these villages through barter. You can listen to many stories of those good old days from the elders in village and how they vanished due to flood in Andhra Khud and availability of road to Kinnaur. The Village has some folktales about its name also. According to onethe village is named after the village deity “Jakh-Jakhoh”. But the second tale is says that in former time the village could be accessed only after walking through miles and miles of dense forest and thus the village location shaped the villagers into a fearless tribe who were at home in the forest among raids of the wildlife. Thus, outsiders started calling these villagers “Junglee or Junglee log” and the village Janglikh. Finally, ‘Janglikh’ got corrupted to Janglikh.From Janglikh the trek unravel itself to the mesmerizing scenic beauty.  After just 30 minute walk one enter the forest leaving villages, fields and villagers behind.  The ways keep surprising with streams, steep climbs in forest patches alternately, giving way to lush greenery of the DayaraThatch (meadow) in the foothill of beautiful mountains.

The route from DayaraThatch to Litham runs through dense forest, green meadows and gushing streams. The clear and sparkling water tempt you to refill your bottles.  Before reaching the campsite you’ll be able to see the snow-capped mountains of the Dhauladhars. Beautiful setting of Bhojforest is rare thing to experience. The trek takes a halt and one can see Litham clearly. Take an off for the day here. Next day start early and continue your journey towards ChadenahanLake,seven glacial ponds. It is 1 hour satisfying walk upstream towards the waterfall except the last steep stretch till waterfall. It is amazing sight at the top as if you are in some other world. The view is panoramic and lets you enjoy it in peace and music of nature. Walk leisurely through them through a mildly ascending trail. After a walk of 10 minutes you are at first Lake. Don’t forget to take off your shoes as lakes are believed to be sacred places. Walk barefoot and feel the green grass and medicinal flower under your feet. The lakes are smaller water bodies of crystal clear greenish blue waters. However, the fifth one is of greater volume and is truly alluring but each is around 15-20 mins walk from previous one. The distinctive sight of gushing sound of water entering one lake, staying there for some time and then leaving to fill the next lake was a natural wonder in itself as if crafted skillfully by nature. They are nestled amidst beautiful snow-covered mountains, towering on three sides and remains frozen for the most part of the year.The surroundings are covered with a carpet of purple- mauve primulas and dwarf rhododendrons.The trail proffers abundance of flowers & herbs and beauty of numerous glistening streams of water.
