Enjoyable !
Before going on this trek I searched net for revieews so as to have an idea what to expect. I had read lonely planet but that was not sufficient for solo trek. Somehow, I couldn't find detailed review also. So based on whatever information I could gather I proceeded. I am writing this to help others. I had started from Rumsu. From patlikhul on Manali highway taxi charges about RS 500 for dropping at trail head at Rumsu. The very initial part of the trail is little steep as it passes through apple trees nearby. The trail is well defined. Then it gradually ascends and again little steep before reaching first meadow on the way. This place is called by locals as Stalin. It takes about two hours to reach here. You can camp here or move further to the next meadow called Ghankrari. At Stalin, there was no dhaba or rented tents. You have to have your own tent and food if you wish to stay here overnight. But it is just two hours trek from the start, so I think you can move to next stop. On the left upper side of Stalin, a well defined trail , very gradual ascent, not difficult, is there which through forest will take you to Ghankrari meadow in about half an hour or less. This place again has no dhaba or tents. Again you have to be self sufficient to stay here. Next stop is called by locals as Siddhu Pathar, which is steep ascent from Ghankrari. This trail is not too well defined as the sheep's, cows getting up and down through this route create many little trails. But don't worry, all leads to Siddhu Pathar. This can be little tiring. Once you reach Siddhu Pathar, there is a vast meadow with little water stream also running . This water stream is not something with gushing water, but just very less flow of fresh water in the grass. You will be able to locate it. Water is drinkable. This could be your first stop. Pitch your tent here. Again no dhabas, no rented tents are available here. It should take you about 4 hours to reach here from trail head. Beyond this is chakhlani meadow and then the pass. It takes about two hours to reach pass from Siddhu Pathar. From chakhlani, one hour away, you can see the pass asit is all clear meadow ahead. No forest. If you are Ina group of two three people and can identify trails, only then do it solo, otherwise it is advisable to hire a guide from Rumsu. At some places, trail need to be identified like beyond Siddhu Pathar till chakhlani. For first timer, walking practice is advisable as the steep portions would test them a little. I came back the same route I went up so I have no details about pass to Malana route. But I am told that many people start from Malana side as it avoids climbing steep portions from Rumsu side . That is also a good thought. I am also told that in May June a dhaba and tents can be found at chakhlani. This you can check before proceeding. Overall a easy trek and enjoyable one, if you are not going with a trekking company you need your own food and tent. A guide will also help . Have a great trip.

Best trek near Manali
Chanderkhani pass near Manali is the ideal trek for nature lovers. It takes approximately 6 days to cover this beautiful trek. You can enjoy medews, beautiful landscapes, snow capped mountains and some snow slides also. You can also visit well-known Malana village where you can see tribal life.
