Churdhar Trek - Best Weekend Near Delhi - Chandigarh

Shiv jo on churdhar

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).

Best Time To Do Churdhar Trek

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.
