After you freshen up at our happening hostel we will head out to chase waterfalls, take a dip in Mini – Thailand and binge on some hot maggi and chai. Can it get better than that?

Day 5 - Great Himalayan National Park

A trip to Tirthan is incomplete without a trail to the gate of The Great Himalayan National park. With numerous varities of birds and trees you come across unique every step of the way.  The fun increases ten-fold when we have our picnic lunch along one of the numerous waterfalls along the trail. Take a dip at the Hippo falls and rejuvinate amidst the lush greenery around you.  In the evening we enjoy a hearty meal with some bonfire.

The backpacker in you will be on cloud nine as you take in the sheer beauty and purity of Shangarh while you decide your day of leisure.

In the evening, a bonfire in these meadows with stars above, local food and company of our fellow backpackers is the cherry on the cake right?
