Dhauladhar Ranges
Sub Place Details: The Dhauladhar Ranges, often referred to as the White Range, form a formidable granite wall that rises abruptly from the Kangra Valley. These mountains are part of the Lesser Himalayas and are renowned for their distinct dark-grey granite peaks capped with permanent snow throughou t the year. The range serves as the backdrop for most of Kangra's scenic beauty, stretching from the Beas River to the Chenab River. It creates a unique microclimate in the valley, leading to lush tea gardens and vibrant biodiversity. The range is a spiritual haven, believed by locals to be the abode of Lord Shiva, particularly the Mani Mahesh peak. For adventure seekers, it offers some of the most challenging and rewarding trekking routes in India, including the famous Triund and Indrahar Pass. The dramatic elevation change from the valley floor to the peaks is one of the steepest in the world, offering a visual spectacle that changes with every hour of the day. :
