Overview
Itinerary
Arrival, Transfer & Acclimatization in McLeod Ganj
Arrive at Gaggal Airport (Dharamshala) or Pathankot station and transfer to McLeod Ganj. Check-in and relax. Afternoon orientation walk to Bhagsunag Waterfall and visit the Dalai Lama Temple Complex. Evening briefing by the trek leader about trekking gear and safety.
Tip: Carry a light daypack on arrival; hydration and light snacks help with quick acclimatization.
Trek to Triund — Moderate Ridge Hike & Camp
Drive to the Triund trailhead (Galu/Bhagsu). Begin the moderate trek (~9 km / 4-5 hours) through rhododendron and oak forests, with steadily opening views of the Dhauladhar Range. Reach the Triund Ridge by late afternoon; campsite setup and safety briefing. Enjoy sunset over the Himalayas and an alpine camp dinner.
Important: Trek pace will be adjusted for group safety; porters are available for gear on request.
Sunrise at Triund, Descend & Explore McLeod Ganj
Early morning sunrise on the ridge with panoramic mountain views and photography time. After breakfast, descend back to McLeod Ganj (3-4 hours). Afternoon at leisure — optional visit to the Tibetan Library, local cafés and handicraft shops. Evening free for rest or a short nature walk.
Note: The descent is easier but watch footing on loose trails. Expect 3–4 hours of walking.
Transfer to Kareri Village & Begin Kareri Lake Approach
After breakfast, drive to Kareri Village (~1–1.5 hours). Meet local guides and begin the moderate trek toward Kareri Lake. Trek through pine forests and pastoral meadows, encountering local shepherd huts and wide Dhauladhar vistas. Overnight at a prepared campsite near the lake with a warm dinner.
Tip: Keep your camera ready — this trail is less crowded and highly photogenic.
Full Day at Kareri Lake — Explore & Cultural Exchange
Spend a relaxed day at Kareri Lake. Morning and evening short walks around the alpine basin, optional fishing (seasonal) and photography. Interact with villagers and learn about local pastoral life. After sunset, enjoy an overnight camp under a clear starry sky.
Important: Nights at the lake can be cold — carry warm layers and a good sleeping bag.
Return to Kareri Village, Transfer to Bir — Adventure Options
Trek back to Kareri Village, then drive to Bir / Palampur region. Afternoon options include paragliding at Bir-Billing (optional, subject to weather), visiting the Chokling Monastery, or strolling the tea gardens of Palampur. Evening farewell dinner and camp/homestay in Bir/Palampur.
Note: Paragliding is an add-on activity and requires prior booking; weather-dependent.
Departure — Transfer to Dharamshala / End of Package

Recent Himachal Reviews
Cab Replacement Confirmed While We Were Still Panicking
We were halfway through our Himachal trip — somewhere between Manali and Kasol — when our cab driver suddenly said he couldn't continue due to a family emergency. My wife and I had no idea what to do. Called our TourGrids coordinator immediately and within 40 minutes a replacement cab was confirmed, driver details shared on WhatsApp, and we barely lost two hours. No extra charge, no runaround. The entire Himachal itinerary had been planned around our pace as a couple, hotels were proper good, and check-ins were always pre-informed. But that one moment on the road showed us what actually separates a good travel company from a random aggregator. Will be back for the next trip.
Woke Up to Perfect Hotels Every Single Morning
Honestly, the properties TourGrids picked for our Himachal trip were the real highlight. My wife and I were a bit skeptical about handing over hotel selection to someone else, but every stay — from Manali to Kasol — was proper good. Clean rooms, decent views, breakfast included without any last-minute surprises. The cab arrangements were equally solid. Driver showed up on time each day, knew the mountain roads well, and never rushed us. Whatever we flagged on WhatsApp, the coordinator sorted on call within the hour. No confusion at checkouts, no hidden charges. For a couple planning a hill trip without wanting to micromanage every detail, this worked out really well.
Himachal Itinerary Built Exactly Around Our Dates
I'd been putting off planning a Himachal trip with my wife for almost a year because coordinating everything felt overwhelming. A friend suggested TourGrids, so I messaged them on WhatsApp. Within a day, someone from the team called and actually listened — I told them we wanted less crowded spots and more flexibility on rest days, and they built the itinerary around that. No generic package. Cab timings, hotel preferences, altitude concerns for my wife — all noted and reflected in the final plan. Pricing was transparent, no hidden charges at checkout. The whole booking process took maybe three days total. Really did not expect it to be this straightforward.
