Trek to Dhauladhar Mountain Range in Himachal Pradesh, 23rd May to 5th June

Himalayan Trekking ... It will conjure up immediate memories of fun filled, carefree days. We at Nisarga Bhraman in colaboration with Sussat... Rebel on Wheels promises you all this and more, in the summer of 2014.

Taking forth our promise of making the outdoor accessible to you, we have planned a trek in Himachal Pradesh, at Dharmashala. Summer is the season to see the Himalayas at their best! Not only do we escape the sweltering heat and grime of the city but we also find solace in nature and adventure. Each of our trek is carefully designed with a judicious mix of comfort and challenge, so that we cater to all the enthusiastic and the intrepid. The focus being to strengthen your bond with nature and adventure. If this is the trek you look for then look no further.

About the place: Dhauladhars are themselves a mountain range quite apart from any other mountain range in the Himalayas. It is the outer most part of Himalayas. The rock faces of this granite range are so sharply cot that they fail to hold snow for long as a result you see snow in the gullies and on top.
This is an easy trek going through mixed forests of Iak, Rhododendron and Deodar in the foothills of the Dhauladhars. The trek offers added attraction for the bird watchers. Beautiful alpine meadows carpeted with flowers and medicinal plants, pasturelands, flocks of goats, sheep and wild birds and superb views from the passes make this a most wonderful route through the landscape dotted with many villages where we pause to meet the villagers and relax.
