Trek in Dhauladhar Foothills
Tour Duration: 09 Nights / 10 Days
This is one of the easy treks in Dhauladhar. Most of the time you will be walking in the foothills of Dhauladhar Mountains and passing through several remote tribal village. We make few visits to the family houses in the villages and get to know the local culture and tradition. Dhaualadhar are themselves a mountain range quite apart from any other mountain range in the Himalayas. It is the outer most part of Himalayas. The rock faces of this granite range are so sharply cut that they fail to hold snow for long as a result you see snow in the gullies and on top. During the trek we walk through many Gaddi tribal villages. Gaddi is a semi nomadic shepherd tribe whose main occupation is agriculture and rearing of sheep and goat. The shepherds spend the whole summer on the mountains and during winter come back to the plains of Kangra with their flock of sheep and goat.
