Just wanna shared one of the most Amazing trek to Churdhar a temple of Lord Shiva. Here are some of the most tempting glimpse of the valley and the peak. Nauradhar is around 390 KMs away from Delhi. Churdhar trek takes you to the highest peak of the Shivalik mountain ranges. Generally people reach the peak in evening, stay there at Dharamshala and come back in morning and we did the same. So we met a lot of people coming down with great enthusiasm. There are 2 halt Tea Hut Point for stay are “Doosri” and “Teesri”. This trek being moderate to difficult climb rewards you in the beauty it provides you as you trek through the 1600 meters climb from Nohradhar which is 17 kms from the peak. Also known as Churchandni, this peak is perhaps the most easily accessible from the plains- Nohradhar. The entire Churdhar range is a wildlife sanctuary. Legend has it that it is on these mountains that Hanuman found the "Sanjeevani Buti", which he brought Laxman life back. Himachal is the boasts of Mountain elegance and natural beauty and it never disappoints any visitor who reaches here seeking adventure and hardcore trekking. Norhadhar can be reached from Sirmour 14km, Sarahan 14km and Chopal 8km by bus.

“Festivals promote diversity, they bring neighbors into dialogue, they increase creativity, they offer opportunities for civic pride, they improve our general psychological well-being. In short, they make cities better places to live.” – David B.

Churdhar Temple Summitt trek has 3 route options. FIRST (7 KM)- Chaupal in Shimla district is the base for the shortest route. SECOND (50 KM) - Haripurdhar in Sirmour district is the base for a longer route. and THIRD(17 KM) - Nauradhar is the base climb for Churdhar trek and We'VE CHOOSE THIS. As Uttarakahndi its in my genes that I've stamina to going upwards and technique to going down, so my body relaxed in both way climb or descent Nohradhar is the most popular base for the Churdhar trek and it takes 8-9 Hours for non-stop 17 Km long moderate and difficult climb to complete. We spend Night at dharamshala. If you start harder trek after 2 PM then you will see a lot of tourists coming back from Churdhar. We saw lot of pilgrims going to Churdhar Summitt. We opted the harder trek and it is not that easy but surely shorter than easier way. Finally reached Dharamshala at 8 PM but it hard to get dome to stay but we manager and slept well.

We woke up early had tea and got ready for Summitt than back to home. There is no mobile coverage during most of the trek. Churdhar is one such awesome destination where you can quench your thirst of experiencing nature at one of its best faces. A wealth of herbs and beautiful alpine flora cover these Himalayan slopes, Lord Hanuman found "Sanjeevani Butti" in this vicinity. Nauradhar is the highest peak in Sirmour and outer Himalaya. Trekking to a peak, passing through the changing scenes of the diverse nature, observe culture, when you are on the peak point, you feel satisfied and overwhelmed with earth’s spectacular beauty. We got a Car to Solan directly from Nohradhar. we spend few time and had dinner at Solan's Mall Road. We missed our bus because bus driver has change the route and we are waiting for bus at Solan's Hightway till midnight.

Andy Rawat Very passionate about visual design. I'm enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. The point is when I see a sunset, waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, bcoj a little bit I'm out of my brain. And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.
