4. Daranghati

Daranghati near to Sarahan, is one of the furthest and uncharted passes in Himachal Pradesh situated simply above Daran Village.

Nevertheless, one day outdoor camping at Daranghati is highly recommended to feel the nature in its finest type.

A great website to take those photos you might flaunt on your wall. The river has a high gradient and a greater mass of water, so it rages down in noisy gushes.

It would be sensible to bring a hassle-free piece of clothes to cover your head. Inside the shrine, you can see images of Hindu Gods, alongside Jesus and Sikh Guru's. The messages couldn't have been clearer; everyone is welcome and all faiths are appreciated. I find this bit especially touching about Manikaran Sahib.

They think themselves to be the descendants of Aryans which the pureness of their race would be compromised by interaction with outsiders. A visitor in Malana cannot touch their wall, to the extent that they clean their walls with the blood of a buffalo if an outsider takes place to touch it. Shocking, best? Not to them!
