About Taranda Dhank
Taranda Dhank is a beautiful spot on the national highway 22 that leads to Kinnaur.
Taranda Mata Temple is a famous attraction where everyone bows their heads and offers their respect to the deity. It is believed the road journey after the taranda is extremely dangerous, and you need her protection.
One of the deadliest roads in India, Dhank offers an endless rush to the drivers. Narrow roads with Satluj flowing deep in the gorge give a minimal chance of careless driving. The treacherous road demands amazing skill and concentration from the driver. Narrow roads with sharp turns and hanging cliffs of rock provide a breathtaking experience once in a lifetime.
The terrain remains rocky with very little vegetation until you reach Khracham Dam, which is 35 km away. The district headquarter, Reckong Peo, lies 22.8 km from here.
