Kullu - Shimla Trek (Iris Country)
An easy and very interesting trek for enjoying the lush greenery , beautiful mountains , temples and remote villages of Himachal Pradesh. For large distances , the trek follows the ridge line separating inner and outer Seraj. You can stay in forest guest houses of which some are over 100 year and remind you of British ear. The guest book at these guest houses still mention of few royal visitors from past. A few days spent on this trail will remind you of the Raj. |
