Activity Information

The Aadi Himani Chamunda Trek is one of Himachal Pradesh's most beautiful treks. The most well-known feature of the journey is the Aadi Himani Chamunda Temple. The route is well known among enthusiasts. The inhabitants' explanations for the temple's presence are fascinating.
According to local legends, Goddess Chamunda slew two demons named Mund and Chand. Chamunda slaughtered them from the mountaintop by hurling large rocks at them. One of these stones is thought to be visible atop the Shiva Temple, which is located near the already-present Chamunda Devi Temple along the gorgeous Dharamshala-Palampur state route.
