Buddhist monks hermitage : a delightful walk between Dharamkot and Naddi

Trek between Naddi and Dharamkot

                                    There is a beautiful trek through a beautiful mixed forest of oak, deodar and rhododendron between Dharmkot village and Naddi village (Upper Dharamshala). It is just about an hour walk with beautiful view of kangra valley and Dhauladhar mountain range. On this trek there is a Buddhist monks hermitage (a place where a religious person lives on their own, away from the rest of society). There are many small huts were monks live and meditate.
