Dharmasala Trek

Delhi = Pathankot / Dharamsala (By Train, By Surface) Transfer from hotel to the railway station to board train for Pathankot. Meeting and assistance on arrival at the railway station and drive to Dharamsala. On arrival in Dharamsala check in at hotel.
Dharamsala: Set against the magnificent backdrop of the towering Dhauladhar ranges, which rise up to more than 4000 meters, Dharamshala, which literally means The Holy Refuge, lies perched up on the high slopes in the upper reaches of the Kangra valley. Founded in 1855, it is one of the 80 hill resorts developed in the seventeenth century by the British to beat the heat and dust of the sweltering plains.
Dharamshala town is divided in flesh and soul into two halves, each with its own character. The lower Dharamshala is the main town at 1250 meters. The upper Dharamshala or McLeod Ganj from Dharamshala by road, it is a 10 kilometres drive, which takes almost the same time as you would, walking up the steep path. The only reason that you would like to visit lower Dharamshala would be to see the Kangra Art Museum, which has a treasure trove of the art and crafts of region. Overnight at hotel.
