CB 13 Peak Expedition - Spiti Valley

Cb 13 peak

CB13 or Chandrabhanga peak is one of the oldest and the contest peak of Himachal. The peak got its name from the 2 famous rivers that are Chandra and Bhanga. In earlier times, an expedition on this peak was very difficult due to the extreme weather conditions and the rocky land. However, after the introduction of the Atal Tunnel, the peak has become more accessible which is why more travelers are longing to give it a try.

The beauty of the whole expedition is beyond words and something different from the others. The wind, the weather, the land, everything is unmissable. June to October is considered the best time for CB 13 expeditions. Check out the whole itinerary of CB 13 with Broza Adventures:-
