In the vicinity of Chandigarh, the Churdhar Trek (3,647 m) is a spiritual journey for the ideal weekend retreat. From April through November, Broza adventures provides trips to this beautiful walk. The Indian state of Himachal Pradesh's Sirmaur district is home to Churdhar, situated at a height of 3,647m (11,965ft). The highest peak in the Sirmaur district and the highest peak in the outer Himalayas are found there.
A deodar-roofed temple of Lord Shirgul Devta with a lingam dedicated to Lord Shiva is located below the top (Chudeshwar Mahadev). For the locals of Sirmaur, Chaupal, and Solan, this temple holds a special place in their hearts.
Churdhar is sometimes called "Chur Chandani," which means moonlit mountain. There are three ways to approach the summit: via Nauradhar (16 km from Sirmaur), Sarain (8 km from Chaupal, Shimla), and Pulhwal (8 km) (Chaupal, Shimla).
The most well-known one is from Nauradhar in the Sirmour area, with lovely rest stops in between and a spectacular view all around. It is a location of immense religious significance in the state's Sirmaur district. A colossal statue of Lord Shiva that towers over Churdhar Peak is enthralling to look at and transports you to the stories of ancient Indian epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana.
Churdhar Trek is one of the most thrilling treks around Shimla. Beautiful views of the Dhauladhar, the Greater Himalayas, and some large peaks in Uttarakhand, such as Swargarohini (6,252 m), Bandarpoonch, and others, can be seen on a clear, bright day (6,316 m), Kedarnath (6,940 m), and Badrinath (7,138 m).
Churdhar begins with steep inclines and has a moderately difficult ascent and descent. The ideal months to hike these pathways are May, June, October, and November. This journey qualifies as a pre-and post-monsoon season excursion because of the unfavorable temperatures and precipitation. The average temperature during the daytime ranges between 25 and 15 degrees Celsius, but the overnight low is substantially lower.
Arrival at Nohradhar market, meet and greet with our team, our meeting point is a spot where you can taste the local way of life and converse with residents. The trail is highly muddy until it finally enters a woodland. The distance of today's hike is 6-7 km. Build the camp. Snacks and tea would be provided. I'm going to watch the sunset. Dinner and early bedtime are advised because the next day will be spent trekking extensively.
Start your journey early in the morning and proceed towards Churdhar Peak, which is around 7 kilometers away. While on the go, you can make calls, but the network is unreliable; Jio and Airtel work nicely. You'll be rewarded with views of the Churdhar Peak and the snow-covered Mountains after Teesri. You'll arrive at the top in 3 to 4 hours. Take in the sweeping vistas from the peak. Return to the base camp, where dinner and snacks will be served. Rest a while.
Get up early because this will be a long trekking day. It would help if you ascended slowly through woodland for 5 kilometers to reach Teesri, at 3250 meters. The windiest part of the trek is at Teesri, where several shops are along the mountain's peak. After crossing Teesri, the treeline starts to recede. The temple of Chureshwar is located 2 kilometers uphill from the top. When you reach the summit, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of high Himalayan peaks like Kinner Kailash, Srikhand Mahadev, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Spend some time there and then return in the evening to the campsite.
Get up at 7 a.m., and prepare for breakfast and lunch at Nohradhar, an easy 6-kilometre hike that takes three hours. After completing this trek you can travel to your home with full of blessing and happiness.
