Paradise Hill Top Camping
Dharamshala, Kangra District
About this activity
Paradise Hill Top Camping is a phenomenal, balanced trekking destination located in the Dhauladhar Range. Striking the perfect middle-ground between an easy walk and a demanding peak climb, it is extremely popular for active families and energetic hikers wanting an authentic mountain experience.
The trek covers a stunning 5km roundtrip, winding through pine forests, oak trees, and vibrant alpine meadows. Upon ascending to the Hill Top, you’ll receive an unobstructed, 360-degree view of the sweeping Kangra Valley down below and the mighty Dhauladhar Range towering above. Camping near the summit under a starlit sky reveals the brilliance of the Milky Way through impossibly pure AQI 0-10 air.
