Those who do not want to walk on any of the day can take a ride in our back up jeep and reach the next camping place to meet the fellow trekkers. During the trek we walk through the dense forest of Kalatop-Khajiar wildlife sanctuary and also walk on top of Dhauladhar mountain range from where you have superb view of the High Himalayan peaks. The camping places are close to the forest lodges with excellant locations. Or we can use the forest lodges for overnight accommodation.
