Ganji Pahari Trek
The trek begins from Dalhousie and the trekkers walk through the town before taking the route to Panchpula. At a point in Panchpula, the trekking trail to Ganji Pahari goes through a rugged and uneven route till the top of the hill. This climb is about 6 kilometres and offers a beautiful view of the natural landscape that surrounds the hill. Trekkers pass through some village homes located on the slopes.
One can choose to camp on Ganji Pahari or enjoy the view and descend back to the town the same day. If one wishes to camp, they can get some delicious homemade food for dinner from the village nearby. If trekking with an adventure company, they usually arrange the dinner. Trekkers can have a splendid bonfire and a quiet session of night sky gazing before they doze off. After the overnight camp, the next day, trekkers can take the same route back to Dalhousie or proceed to Dainkund.
