Itinerary
Trek 4: De Dharamsala à Bharmour

Home

Dharamsala
Departure point: Mcleod Ganj
Days
Ideal season: April to the end of October.
1 Arrive in New Delhi, then by bus to Dharamsala.
2 Day visit to Mcleod Ganj and Dharamsala.
3 From Mcleod Ganj to Triund (2830m):  8km in 4 to 5 hours.  Triund is a magnificent place to camp and the rest houses have been constructed to this effect.
4 From Triund to Lahas Cave (3500m):  there is 6km to cover in 4 to 5 hours.  Lahas Cave is beyond the Laka glacier and can  be cold as it is above the vegetation line.
5 From Lahas Cave to Chatta Gote (3700m) through the Inderhara pass (4350m).  The distance to cover is 8km; but it is necessary to allow between 8 to 9 hour hiking as it is a steep climb and necessary to cross some glaciers.  An early start will therefore be required in order to cross the pass.
6 From Chatta Gote to Kawarsi village (2730m):  12km in a 7 to 8 hour hike.  Kawarsi is a tribal village of Chamba and Bharmour.
7 From Kawarsi to Siunre (2000m).  Situated in the centre of the valley of Bharmour and on the banks of the Ravi River of Chamba, Siunre is an ideal place to camp.  The distance to cover is 11km in 5 to 6 hours. This day promises to be exciting because we are in the middle of various tribal areas to visit.  It is also an unique opportunity to immerse yourself into the daily lives of the natives.
8 From Siunre to Bharmour (2130m).  A short march of 4 to 5 hours for the 7km separating these two sites.  Bharmour is a small town in the tribal region of Chamba, sacred because of the 84 different Hindu temples located there.
9 Free day.
10 Return to New Delhi by bus and transfer to the airport for your return home.
Remark:it is possible to extend this trek by three extra days to the Mani Mahes Lake of Lord Shiva.
