After breakfast drive from Dharamsala to Gopalpur by car. It is another 6 kms drive on a rough/dusty to above Gopalpur to reach the starting point of the trek. It is three to four hours uphill walk through the forest to Gowari, an alpine meadow situated on top. Gowari is a summer pastureland and villagers come up her during summer with their cattel to live her temporarily for few months. From Gowarhi it is another 1 hour climb to reach Garhi, our camping place for the night. Camp here for night stay in tents.
It is very steep uphill walk for few hours to reach on top of Bhagpura ridge. You keep on walking on the top flat ridge to get to a nice camping place from where you have beautiful views of the snow covered peaks of Dhauldhar mountain range. Camp here for night stay.
We take a different route on the way back and follow a grassy ridge 5 to 6 hours of downhill walk to reach Sukairi, the nearest road-head from where we drive to Dharamsala ( an hour and half). Check in Hotel or continue to your onward destination.
This trek can be extended for one more day and we can explore a beautiful plateau we named Surgeon's Plateau.
