that was a super trek we went on. we had to leave the car behind and trek about 1.5 Km to reach the Ma Polani mandir, it was a pleasant walk when u reach the peak the mandir was there and it was surrounded by the mountains, great view and a pleasant trek..

This is the top-most point near khajjiar. From the drop-out point it's a climb of around 2 km. However, the higher you go, a better view you get. one can see Snow clad mountains, one of which is said to be Kailash, the home of Lord Shiva.

A long and tedious trek but views enroute were breathtaking.. The Maa Kali temple at the top is good and views around that place are just awesome.... perhaps the best place around Dalhausie along with Chamera Lake and Khajjar...

Simply Amazing. Though the trek to the temple is very tough. But once you are on top of the peak you can experience the amazing views from there.

It is a 2-3 KM trek point at a distance of around 10 KM from Dalhousie town area. Dainkund is the highest mount in Dalhousie that provides the picture book scenery of the whole valley. The relax walk through the trees, with the glittering rivers flowing through the crisscross riverbeds, makes trekking toDaikund a must experienced spectacle. The whole mountain... More

Though when we traveled (10 AM in the morning), it was cloud all around with strong breeze. But definitely enjoyed the place along with the breathtaking view (whatever I could see between cloud and sunlight) for the valley. It was a small but enjoyable trek.There is a temple at the end of the trail. Overall a must see place.

on a clear day you can view kailash parvat, khajjiar, there's a bit of adventure as you need to trekk for 2KM. All in all a nice experience.

Tough climb for a 73 yr. old, but worth it.Don't give up! Choose a clear day, you can even see Manimahesh Kailash peak. Tea stalls at the temple at the top, vital to revive you.
