Churdhar Temple : A trekking Place

Churdhar temple, Himanchal Pradesh

Churdhar Temple is in Himanchal Pradesh, India. I was there when i was in University along with 7 more friends. We were in a class attending lecture and in between class one of my friend started searching Places on phone where we could go on a weekend. So after spending time of 2 lectures we finally found a place where none of us been before. :D

It was Churdhar trekking Place. It was a 15km trek one sided and we started trekking from Nohradhar. Out of 8 friends, some were really good trekker, some were average and also few were lazy arse. :D

We started trekking in the morning at around 11am . We were tired by the travelling and we haven't asleep whole night but still we planned to start trekking . So we move on from Nohradhar and after around 6-7 kms we saw snow fallen on our way (not much) so we started to think the temperature on the peak which is almost 13000ft high.

We didn't had our jackets, caps and all (what we had was a pair of shirts and jeans). At around 5pm we reached the top by trek around 12 kms after what we can't think of going further as there was snow blanket on the whole field and there was no way of going further. But still we tried and we started walk on the snow blanket. The way was like too slippery and at that time if anyone could get dis balanced then he would have fallen from the cliff and there was nothing to grip on. After giving so much try, 6 of us denied to take risk and go further but 2 braverily does that and they went at the top by walking on the snow.
