Dharamshala Trekking Tour

Package Overview

Himachal Pradesh, nestled in the lap of the mighty Himalaya, has some of the most adventurous and attractive trekking routes in the country. The state is bestowed with spectacular snow-clad mountain peaks, and a refreshing mélange of cultures and history.
