Treks near Dharamshala
From a one-night climb to Triund to a three-day walk to a glacial lake, with guides who grew up on these trails.
Dharamshala sits right under the Dhauladhar, so some of the best walking in Himachal starts almost from your hotel. Triund is the classic first trek. Kareri Lake is quieter and longer. Further afield, Kheerganga in the Parvati valley and the Manimahesh trail are bigger adventures.
All our treks include a local guide, tents, sleeping bags and meals. You carry only a day pack.
