A hikers’ dream:
The region around Dharamsala offers beautiful walking tracks and is a hiker’s dream. A pine forest that is coloured in red by rhododendrons at spring and inhabited by monkeys, bears and even leopards (!) surrounds the little town. Many paths lead to small tribal villages where rustic farming tradition is still practised by the farmers. This is the foothill of the
Himalayas… and just behind us, dominates the magnificent Dhauladhar ranges.
