Dhaulandhar

 

The majestic Dhauladhar range lies in the lower Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh. The range towers over Dharamshala creating a dramatic sudden uplift above the rolling highlands of Kangra valley and forms a barrier wall that is striking to look at.
From high altitude glacial lakes, dense pine forests, snow-capped peaks, and the rocky faces of the lower Himalayas, the Dhauladhar Skytrails will offer a gruelling yet beautiful race route. The traipse is worth it as the panorama when you reach the top of hills is awe-inspiring and exhilarating. The fresh air will soothe your mind and muscles while you negotiate the tough curves.
