ABOUT
Enchanting Chanshal Drive
The Pabbar Valley, cradled in the heart of the lesser Himalayas, holds many hideaways that only a few have discovered. Named after the glacier-born Pabbar River, this valley is a hidden gem that leaves visitors awe-inspired and wanting for more.
One of the true delights of the Pabbar Valley lies in its breathtaking apple orchards. Picture yourself driving through rows of apple-laden trees, the air infused with the sweet aroma of ripe fruits. It’s a sensory delight that forever lingers in your memory.
Driving through the thick forests — especially the Kotkhai-Kharapathar stretch of NH705 and 40 km long Narkanda-Kharala-Sungri section — of the Pabbar Valley is an experience like no other. The lush greenery and the refreshing atmosphere make it a nature lover’s paradise. Whether you’re driving or simply taking a stroll, the silence, and serenity of the forest will keep you captivated
But what really sets the Pabbar Valley apart is its people. The locals are known for their warm hospitality and welcoming nature. Their friendly demeanor will make you feel right at home, and you might just make lifelong connections with the people you meet.
