A 17 km climb of about 1,600 m from Nohradhar in Sirmaur up through deodar and oak forest and open ridges to the 3,647 m summit of Churdhar, the highest peak of the outer Himalaya in Himachal, crowned by a Shiva shrine. It usually takes two days, with a night at the temple rest houses below the top. The first part follows a rough road out of the village.
