McLeodganj Day Hikes

McLeodganj is in Himachal Pradesh in Northern India. It is where the Tibetan government-in-exile has its headquarters, and has always been popular with tourists and travellers. When I was there it was quite difficult to find any information about walking trails in the area, although there are many.

Please bear in mind that I did all the walks below some years ago. I have no idea if the trails are still where they were when I was there, or if they are still walkable, so take care.
