Churdhar peak at 3650m or around 12,000 feet is the highest peak in the lower Himalaya and its base can be accessed through a 4 hour drive from Chandigarh. The main peak and its subsidiary peaks present quite a challenge in the winter months but the climb is easier in summer when the snow melts away. On a clear day you gain a staggering view from the summit. The temple on the main summit attracts pilgrims from several villagers and towns in the region as well as trekkers looking for a weekend trek.
