For most travellers, the journey to Kheerganga is a well-trodden pilgrimage to its mystical hot springs. But for those willing to venture just a little off the beaten path, a more serene and spectacular route awaits. The Bun Buni Pass trek is a hidden gem in the Parvati Valley, offering a journey through pristine, high-altitude meadows used by local Gaddi shepherds, culminating in the rewarding springs of Kheerganga.
This 3-day trek is the perfect blend of solitude, stunning Himalayan vistas, and spiritual rejuvenation. It takes you from the bustling hub of Barshaini up to the breathtaking, 360-degree views of Bun Buni Top before descending to the sacred site of Kheerganga. which makes it one of the best treks to do in Manali.
The ideal time for the Bun Buni Pass trek is during the pre-monsoon (April to June) and post-monsoon (September to November) seasons.
This trek is considered moderate. While the trail from Kalga to Bun Buni Top is mostly gentle, it involves a significant altitude gain of over 1,100 meters, which requires good cardiovascular fitness. The descent from Bun Buni on the second day is steep and can be demanding on the knees. No technical climbing is required, but stamina is essential.
