Half-Day Hike: Naddi to Dharamkot with Prayer Flag Point

This scenic half-day hike from Naddi to Dharamkot offers breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar mountain range, (in Winter and Spring white snowcapped) a serene walk-through a small Gaddi village with mountain view, Himalayan cedar forests, Buddhist prayers flag & Monk meditation huts and at last the vibe of Dharamkot, a hub for Israeli backpackers. 4 km and takes about 2-3 hours to complete at a leisurely pace, making it ideal for beginners and nature lovers. This hike is a perfect blend of nature, culture, and spirituality, offering a glimpse into the Himalayan way of life and the global influences that make this region unique. Enjoy your journey through the Dhauladhar’s embrace !

 Starting Point: Naddi Village

What: Naddi is a serene village in the upper Kangra Valley, Himachal Pradesh, situated at an altitude of about 2,000 meters (6,600 ft). Known for its stunning Naddi View Point, it offers panoramic vistas of the snow-capped Dhauladhar mountains and the lush Kangra Valley. The village is a peaceful retreat, less commercialized than nearby McLeod Ganj,

Where: Naddi is located approximately 3 km from McLeod Ganj and 14 km from Dharamshala, accessible by road via taxi or local bus from McLeod Ganj. The hike begins at Naddi’s main square or near the Naddi View Point.

Who: The village is primarily inhabited by the Gaddi tribe, a semi-nomadic pastoral community known for their colourful culture, hospitality, and unique Gaddi language. The Gaddi people traditionally herd sheep and goats in the Dhauladhar region and maintain a simple, nature-connected lifestyle. You may encounter Gaddi villagers tending to their fields or livestock.

How: Start your hike early in the morning (around 9-10 AM) to enjoy clear views and pleasant weather. From Naddi View Point, take in the majestic Dhauladhar range, which dominates the northern horizon.

Midway: The trail is an easy-to-moderate 4 km walk through dense Himalayan cedar (deodar) forests, dotted with Buddhist prayer flags and offering occasional glimpses of the Dhauladhar range. The path is well-trodden, passing through small hamlets, a Buddhist stupa, and meditation huts used by Tibetan monks. The “Prayer Flag Point” is a highlight, where colorful Buddhist flags flutter in the breeze, adding a spiritual touch to the journey.

 

Endpoint: Dharamkot Village

Dharamkot is a vibrant village perched at 2,000 meters, known for its bohemian vibe, yoga retreats, and Israeli backpacker culture. Once a quiet Gaddi settlement, it has transformed into a “hippie village” with cafes, meditation centers, and stunning views of the Dhauladhar range. It’s a base for treks like Triund and a haven for spiritual seekers. The Tushita Meditation Centre attracts spiritual seekers worldwide, offering courses in Tibetan Buddhism.
