The Garhi hike (approx. 14km) is the perfect activity to spend a day outdoors in the lap of nature and to breathe in the essence of the Kangra valley. Start off with a steep ascent through pine and deodhar (Indian cedar) forests, past terraced fields where locals grow rice and maize, among other cash crops.
Details
- Here on, you only have eagles, vultures, other high-altitude birds and harmless reptiles for company. Finally, after about three hours, you reach the now-abandoned village of Garhi. From up here, you have commanding views of the valley below, from Palampur to Dharamsala and beyond.
