Little ahead of the beautiful Chandra Khanni pass lies a tiny village of Malana, which is famous for the temple of Jamlu and its distinct and fully reserved social and cultural setup. The wonder might strike out from here to the solitary Malana pass and village. The people of Malana  are rough and tough. The villagers not only survive in these conditions, but live quite happily. There are nearly 1100 persons in the village and the population is growing steadily.
