Churdhar,Himachal pradesh,India

Churdhar, the highest peak of the lower Himalayas, is a famous valley for adventure seekers. It is located in the Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Every year, about 10,000 pilgrims across the world are attracted towards this incredible place.
Churdhar is also called Chur Chandni, which means mountain dressed in moonlight. From the summit, you get a panoramic view of the lowland tracts on the south and snow clad ranges, including the peaks of Badrinath and Kedarnath in the Garhwal region towards the north.
The peak is famous Trekking destination. A well-defined trail from Sarain leads you through deodar trees. It is a day long trek, and from the rest-house at Sarain, a four hour up-hill trek will lead you to the temple of Srigul. From the temple, it takes half an hour climb through rocky terrain on the west side to reach the peak. There is a huge concrete idol of Shiva that is located atop the peak.
When fresh cold air of the Himalayas touches your face, you will forget all worldly-wisdom. For this trek, advance knowledge of trekking is not mandatory but requires some minimum fitness level.
 High altitude, low temperature and greenish beauty are the ingredients that make it an even popular place. It is the corner where you can forget your stress, boredom and doldrums. This is the best place for those who want to jump over the clouds and love heights too.
How to Reach
Churdhar peak can be approached from at least three routes - Chaupal in Shimla district is the base for the shortest route of 7 kms, while Haripurdhar in Sirmour district is the base for a longer route of some 50 km. Nauradhar (Nohra) is the third base from where Churdhar is a 20 km climb and this is the route I took. Nauradhar is a small town on the Solan - Rajghat -Sangrah road and is about 388 km from Delhi, which can be covered in about nine hours by car.
