Minkiani Pass (4343 m) lies 7 km from Kareri Lake and is located in the West Dhauladar Range, in Himachal Pradesh. The Minkiani Pass trek is a prominent passage for the locals to visit the holy Lam Dal and cross over into Chamba. The route offers fantastic views of many renowned peaks like Brammah (in Kashmir's Kishtwar region) and Bharanzar (or Sickle Moon). Sudden weather changes, blizzards, and whiteout conditions are common attributes of this expedition. Villages along the trail are located on steep slopes, and the path offers innumerable streams, rivulets, a beautiful lake, and deep forests with rich flora & fauna.
