Choordhar - The abode of God

The fascinating Choordhar is abode of God where peace and tranquility reign supreme.It is a paradise for adventure tourists and trekkers.
The panoramic beauty of Choordhar and its floura and fauna are feast to the eyes.Choordhar peak is an astounding 3650 m above sea level and affords a magnificent view of the glorious mountain peaks and beautiful valleys.
The panoramic view of the Gangetic plains, the bounding Sutlej, Pristine Badrinath, the spell binding Chakrata peak and Shimla from the top is breathtaking and memorable.
Though the trek to the top is a bit demanding the view from the top fulfills one with the vigor of life and love and adoration for nature. Also don't miss the excellent views during the trek and various beautiful birds and animals encountered during the winding walk.
The main attraction is the ancient temple Devti of Shirgul Maharaj and Shivling, which are situated in the hills of Choordhar.Pilgrims come in large numbers to Choordhar mainly in summer season.They sing and dance at night during the Navratras fair in this ancient temple.
Choordhar, commonly known as Churchandni (Bangle of Snow), is blessed with some of the most spectacular and beautiful landscapes in this region. The view from the summit embraces a vast panorama of lowland tracts towards the south and snow-capped ranges, including the peaks of Badrinath and Kedarnath in the Garhwal region, towards the north.
A wealth of herbs and beautiful alpine flora cover these Himalayan slopes. Walking through the wildlife sanctuary, one spots the spectacular monal, Himachal’s state bird, along with koklass and kaleej pheasants. The canine-toothed musk deer and the endangered Himalayan black bear inhabit the higher forests.
