Our journey starts from Delhi and ends in Chambha. While going further we will visit Dharamshala, which is the principal township of Kangra and overlooks the wide spread of the plains. Then we will move to Triund, it is on the foothills of Dhauladhar range. This trek combines the beauty of two of the most beautiful valleys in Himachal Pradesh. Further, there is a Lahesh cave, located at the base of Indrahara Pass. There are spectacular views of the Indian plains; to the north are the sacred peak of Manimahesh Kailash and the snowcapped Pir Panjal Range. Moving further to the trek, will cross a few snow bridges and enter the Kuarsi Valley.

Kuarsi which is a shepherd village, these tracks have been used over centuries by the famous shepherd clan of Himachal called the Gaddi. Then there is Chambha, nestled on the bank of the river Ravi.
