The Churdhar Trek is one of the most beautiful and spiritual trekking experiences in Himachal Pradesh. Located in the Sirmaur district, Churdhar Peak stands at an altitude of around 12,000 ft and is the highest peak in outer Himalayan ranges of Himachal.
This trek is famous for its breathtaking mountain views, dense forests, peaceful ridge walks, and the sacred Shri Shirgul Maharaj Temple located at the summit. For both trekkers and pilgrims, the Churdhar Trek offers a perfect combination of adventure, spirituality, and nature.
The trail passes through thick forests of pine, oak, and deodar while offering stunning panoramic views of peaks like Kinner Kailash, Kedarnath, Badrinath, and even the plains of Chandigarh on clear days.
What makes the Churdhar Trek truly special is its changing scenery. During summer, the trail remains green and pleasant, while winter transforms it into a snow-covered paradise.
