The trail leading upto the village is frequently used by the locals and you might found villagers passing by. The trail leads through lush green dense forest, streams and waterfalls. The trail is easy at initial. Soon the gradient transforms into rocky and steep after crossing the Grahan Nallah. As we get closer to the Grahan Village the trail becomes pretty steep for a while and the village is visible. The campsite at Grahan is located near to the village and is surrounded by the Rhododendron trees. Grahan village is as ancient as hundreds of years.

Day 3. Grahan - Nagaru (3400m.) - Grahan (7-8km./6-7hrs.)

The day starts with lavishing breakfast to continue our long journey into the wild. We will set off the village and make our move towards Nagaru. At initial the trail passes through village houses and steepens as we enter the jungle. The forests seen through this trek are the greatest taking one to the prehistoric times. And if the trek is done in winter it spurs the sensation of being in the Himalayas. As we hike up the forest, snowy trails will appear soon amidst the evergreen dense forests of conifer. Walking on the snow could be an arduous job but it will be fun once you get familiar. One would encounter vegetation totally submerged with snow, only the tall trees are visible out of the white sheet. This thick white sheet presents an amazing landscape of pure Himalayan dream. Soon we will reach Minh Thach where the forest shortens and opens up the vast sky above. At this point one would see the spectacular meadows between the forests and infront the grand view of the Dhauladhar  range.
Following the trail further takes one higher above the tree line leaving dense forest behind. Trekking beyond could be strenuous as the snow gets thicker than ever. We will try to achieve Nagaru or to a certain point due the time limits of retuning back. After reaching a decent height we will return back to the village. We will do slides on snow while returning back to the village. It won’t take long with the slides that we will do whenever it is ideal to slide. By the evening we will reach the home stay and with a hot cup of tea rejuvenate yourself. Night halt will be at home stay.

After all give and take you are free to leave to your preferred journeys.
