Me, my wife and young daughters were looking to visit a children friendly hill station and we were pleasantly surprised. It’s such a magical place and suitable for people of all ages. My family was able to trek to Magic Point on the way to Triund and to the relatively undiscovered beautiful village of Barnet, through forests of Pine, Oak and blooming Rhododendrons. The kids were delighted to splash and swim in the Neugal river and take a ride in the Sky Bus with its birds eyeview of the Kangra valley and the snow capped mountains. The variety of cuizines and the lovely weather were an icing on the cake. We look forward to regular returns and exploring further.

I had the most amazing trip in Himachal thanks to my tour guide Mandeep, the most scenic views, the bubbling springs of Himalayan waterfalls buried deep in the mountain ranges, so many unforgettable memories in just a short span...
We started the day very early. First we did a monastery tour, we went to Tsuglagkhang complex which is the Main Dalai Lama temple, it was beautiful and then nearby we went to the Kalachakra temple in Mcleod Ganj and the enlightenment stupa which is built on 4 cubic steps to symbolize 4 achievements of the Buddha.
Then we had some tasty Tibetan cuisine, we ordered some exotic spring rolls, mutton momos, thukpa, a tibetan soup and topped it up with a nice cappuccino.
The we set off to the beautiful meditative atmosphere of Nechung monastery, which is situated between Mcleodgunj and Dharamshal city, where there is brilliant artwork, a silent and still, calm and meditative atmosphere, lot of foreigners do silent retreats here, next we went to the Tibetan Men Tsee Khang (Tibetan Medical and Astrological ) museum, where we bought some tasty Tibetan sorig tripa tea and sorig bae kan tea.
Finally we went to the beautiful Dharamkot where we saw the beautiful Tushita monastery with its Shanti Stupas, medicine Buddha and Vajrasattva Gompa, it is a beautiful environment and full of students who come from all over the world for world for an introduction to Buddhism.
We ended the day with a scenic trek to the beautiful Naddi, it is enclosed by beautiful scenic snowy peak and has breath taking sunset views, we had a lovely dinner and withdrew to our residences
The next morning we went for the most beautiful trek, with breathtaking views and an experience which was truly categorized as a once in a lifetime. We trekked from Naddi to Gallu Devi stopping for some Rhododendron juice and breakfast, passing by the most scenic Rhododendron trees, high up in the scenic mountains, it was unique and very refreshing, it gave us energy for the rest of the trek. Then we went high up in the mountains to the Nag Temple above Gallu Devi, enjoying a l panoromic view of Dharamkot Valley, Bal Village and the Dhauladhar Himalayan Range. Subsequently, we set off for a trek to the most beautiful waterfall... Where I took a dip in the freezing cold Himalayan waters, we had a nice chai and snacks and spoke to a charming cafe owner who stays at the waterfall even in the winter when it becomes all ice and snow. While returning we stopped at Sunset Café to behold a mesmerizingly beautiful sunset.
The 3rd day of our trip we set off to Norbulingka, it is a very beautiful monastry and tibetan heritage site, the walls are covered with tibetan deities such as the 5 buddha families(5 elements), the medicine buddhas and various deities, and a huge statue of Tsong kha pa.
Then we went to the famous residence of Karmapa (gyuto monastry) where the famous tibetan High Lama Samdong ronpoche was giving a talk explaining Shantidevas famous book. Then we went to Chinmaya Tapovan Ashram, it is a scenic ashram, it is famous for being around ancient caves where Siddh Yogis still meditate intensely till today. From there we went to Kangra Devi Shaktipeeth, where we bought fresh mountain Akhrot and some sweets.
It was a beautiful trip and we formed life long memories, it was a painful departure from such a beautiful refreshing environment.
