A thin morning mist clings to the slopes above McLeod Ganj as you step from the bus into a town where prayer flags flutter like claims on the wind. The Dhauladhar range looms above — close enough to feel the cold and see the serrated ridgelines — while below the Kangra Valley opens green and cultivated. This seven‑day trek traces old shepherd routes through pine and rhododendron, camps on alpine meadows and climbs to Kunal Pathri at roughly 3,350 m.
moderate.
6–7 days.
Moderate aerobic fitness; comfortable with consecutive days of 7–12 km and sustained 3–5 hour uphill sections
Permits and camping arrangements are handled by the operator; travelers typically do not need to arrange additional permits independently.
The route reaches around 3,350 m at Kunal Pathri; gradual ascent reduces risk, but monitor symptoms and communicate with guides if you feel unwell.
Nights alternate between simple hotels in Dharamsala and tented camps on the trail with basic shared facilities and meals provided by the group.
Spring and autumn offer the most stable weather and floral displays; winter brings snow and requires winter gear and experience.
McLeod Ganj hosts the Tibetan government‑in‑exile and a large Tibetan community; Gaddi shepherds have moved livestock here for centuries and still use these high pastures seasonally.
Alpine meadows are fragile—stick to marked trails, pack out waste, and minimize campfire impact to protect grazing lands and wildflower communities.
