Like the resplendent crown for a noble face, the snow clad Chanshal range rises above the Pabbar Valley. At 3750 m (or 12303 ft) the Chanshal Pass remains open from May to October.
Chanshal Pass, 180 kilomters from Shimla, links Dodra Kwar and Chirgaon (Rohru) in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh, India. The pass sits atop the Chanshal Peak, which at 4520 meters (slightly higher than Rohtang Pass, Manali) is the highest peak in the Shimla district.

The Chanshal valley has been identified as a potential destination for ski sports. Extending in length from 2 to 12 kilometers, the Chanshal slopes are considered ideal for skiing. The Government of Himachal Pradesh has proposed to construct a ski resort in the area.
