I reached there in the evening around 7 and my friend was waiting with his cousin at the Destination i have told him about.

We Get together and went to M'clo ( the suburb of Dharamshala ). As we Reached the first thing to do was to park our Bikes near taxi stand and booked hotel. Settled our bags in the Room and walked out to enjoy the Local Evening Lights & food in the M'clo market ( it Represents tibetian people )

Chilled morning Started from the hotel Room, we checkd out around 9am in the morning and took our Bikes to the Location Called 'Dharamkot' ( from where trek is Going to be Started )

Earlier trek use to Start from M'clo but now Road of about 5kms has been Constructed till there. So, we Parked our bikes Over there with Safety & Started our journey to the Crown jewel of Dharamshala

it was a trek of hardly 9kms - it's an easy trek and is Considered as a right Choice for begineers. Journey walks through mixed forests of deodar, Oak and u will see the mighty mountains of Dhauladhar Range.

We easliy reachd there around 3pm :

the view was more beautiful this time as all was Covered with Snow and place was also not much Crowded. Even i was eagerly waiting to watch the Sunset this time. We also havn't pre-booked for any tents in the M'clo bcoz i was Sure we wil get it on the top in our budget. So, we booked a tent near tea shop place it on a beautiful Place & enjoyed the Camping in Snow with a Soft music
