Trek to Gudru Garh | Chamba Himachal Pradesh |

Gudru Garh is mountain top of 2300 meters altitude near the border between Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh and Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir. There is a temple of Chamunda Devi on this top.

Gudru Garh offers a 360 degree view of nearby places from neighboring states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir. On the south west side one can view Basoli Bridge a.k.a. Atal Setu and whole Ranjit Sagar Dam from Gudru Garh. And on west side there are mountains of Bani tehsil of Kathua district of J&K and on the north side there is Garh Mata temple. Locals also call Garh Mata Temple as Bada Garh and Chhota Garh to Gudru Garh Temple. Some jatar mela also held here in summers and people from Chamba and J&K come here to participate in that mela.

On the south side Dalhousie is also visible from here and whole Dhauladhar mountain range can be seen towards the Chamba valley in the east side. And from east to north whole Pir Panjal mountain range is clearly visible.

Gudru Garh is a year round and easy trek. The only thing to worry about on this trail are bears wandering in jungles of Rhododendron. Apart from this it is an extremely beautiful trek. I hope you guys will love this location. If you have any queries regarding this trek feel free to ask in comments.

Snow Hike from Khajjiar to Dainkund Peak Dalhousie

Dainkund Peak is the highest peak near Dalhousie and is easily reachable from Dalhousie side with a 1.5 km hike from the road end. But in winters when the road above Dalhousie close due to snow then it becomes a very long hike as you also need to cover the 13 kms road distance by foot. So in this video I’ve shown a shortcut to reach Dainkund Peak easily even when the road is closed. This shortcut starts from 6 kms from Khajjiar and this 6 kms of road mostly opens within 2-3 days of fresh snowfall so you can reach here by vehicle if you don’t wanna hike those 6 kms on road. And from that point you’ll reach Dainkund Peak in max of 2 hrs. So if you’re hiking from Khajjiar lake you’ll reach at Dainkund Peak in just 3-4 hrs with a normal speed. So you’ll have more time to spend on top and enjoy the views there and you’ll get back to Khajjiar timely. I hope this video will be helpful for you guys. Have fun ! Happy winters! ☃️
