The adventure begins as we assemble at 4:00 PM near the bus stand or airport, ready to embark on an overnight journey to Dharamsala aboard a comfortable Volvo bus. The excitement builds as we leave behind the city and head toward the majestic Himalayas, settling in for a restful overnight ride.

The team reaches Dharamsala early in the morning, where jeeps await to take us on a one-hour scenic drive to Kareri Village. Upon arrival, a 20-minute trek leads us to the base camp, where participants are welcomed with refreshments and tented accommodations. A briefing on the program schedule helps set the stage for the upcoming adventure. After breakfast, the group heads to the rock area for a thrilling rappelling session on steep rock faces, guided by facilitators who focus on fear and risk management techniques. Post-lunch, we engage in a discussion on "Leave No Trace" (LNT) practices, ensuring responsible exploration. Later, an acclimatization trek takes us deep into traditional Himachali villages, offering firsthand glimpses of Gaddi shepherd culture. This relaxed hike prepares participants for higher-altitude treks, ensuring they are fully adjusted to the terrain.

A breathtaking journey into the heart of Boh Valley begins with morning tea and breakfast, fueling us for the day. A 75-minute drive leads to Boh Village, the starting point of our trek. The 3-kilometer uphill trail winds through dense forests, rugged pathways, and flowing streams, creating a mesmerizing trek through the untouched wilderness. Upon reaching the 80-foot Khabru Waterfall, its cascading waters and tranquil rock pool offer a perfect retreat in nature. We take time to enjoy a packed lunch, absorbing the serene surroundings before beginning our descent back to camp. As the evening sets in, we unwind with tea, snacks, and a cozy campfire dinner, accompanied by music or a short documentary, making the experience even more memorable. Under the stillness of the mountains, we settle into tented accommodations, ending the day on a high note.

Today’s adventure leads us to Harai Mata Temple, a sacred site for the Gaddi shepherd community, standing at an altitude of 9,200 ft. After breakfast, we begin our 4-5 hour trek, ascending from 6,350 ft at base camp, navigating through rocky trails, meandering streams, and dense forests. Upon reaching the lush green meadow atop the trail, a breathtaking panoramic view of the Dhauladhar range unfolds. The spiritual aura of the temple, combined with the natural grandeur surrounding it, makes for a deeply immersive experience. After taking in the serenity, we descend back to base camp, capping the day with an evening of warmth, music, and camaraderie around the fire. EXPLORING DHARAMSALA & DEPARTURE After breakfast, we bid farewell to Kareri, hiking back to the village before boarding vehicles for a two-hour scenic drive to Mcleodganj (Naddi).
