Apart from the soothing experience, this place offers to the nature lovers, the place offers ample opportunities for the individuals who have a hunger for adventure.

This is the reason the state of Himachal Pradesh is always considered as a hub for numerous adventure laden activities such as trekking and mountaineering. The beautiful place named Mcleodganj is the initiation point for the various trekking trails located in Himachal Pradesh. This is one of the major reasons, Mcleodganj is known to one and all.

For those who visit Mcleodganj with the motive of trekking, the lesser explored and traversed trekking trail of Chamba offers a great piece of joy. Mcleodganj is a small and peaceful town which is famous for being the home of the world famous Buddhist spiritual guru, the Dalai Lama. This town has numerous natural jewels scattered in its vicinity.  Before beginning the trekking expedition at Mcleodganj, we give a beautiful opportunity to the trekkers to peep into the lives of the Tibetan community which resides close by. This way, the participants can understand the Tibetan culture with a closer spectacle. At the beginning of the tour, by gazing at the scenic beauty of the region, the trekkers can surely understand the level of beauty which they are going to witness as they will trek forward to reach Chamba.

The trail from Mcleodganj to Chamba gives the trekkers a definite opportunity to take glimpses of the beautiful mountain ranges namely, Dahuadhar and Pir Panjal. Apart from these mountain ranges, another factor that adds to the charm of trekking on this trail is the chance to enjoy the camping experience in the quaint town of Mcloedganj and the adjoining areas. This trail is mostly in use by the Gadi shepherds for the purpose of grazing their animals in order to reach the Chamba valley, Sipti and Lahaul. The trail takes the participants through a thick forest cover with mostly rhododendron and deodar trees. Thus, the participants will get ample time to spend in the nature's lap. An attractive aspect of this trail is Indrahar pass which offers the trekkers picturesque views of Mani Mahesh Kailash situated in the East with Pir Panjal range of mountains acting as a backdrop in the North.

The sort of diversity which the trekking trail from Mcleodganj to Chamba provides in terms of flora, fauna and landscape is not like the one as provided by the other trekking trails. The enriching diversity is what that makes the trek a wonderful one. The ecological diversity and serene beauty of this trek is maintained because of the trek being a less explored and less popular one. This reason is playing a vital role in maintaining the trek as one of the hidden beauties of the Himalayan ranges. Although, this trekking trail is no child's play, the trek will pose a number of difficult challenges for the trek, but what they will see towards the end on reaching the peak of the trail is a glimpse of the utter beauty that will make the difficulties and challenges worth the effort.
