Surkanda Devi temple (five kilometres from Dhanaulti towards Chamba) is best place for a short trip. There is a small uphill trek of around two kilometres for the temple. Temple is located at an altitude of 9995 feet. Surkanda is the most revered deity of the region. It takes around an hour to reach the temple. The trek starts from Kaddukhal village on the main Chamba road. Its an easy to moderate trek. Still there are ponies available for the climb (Rs 400 per person, one way). Even for those who are least interested in temples, this is trek worth doing for its sheer beauty. Being highest point in the region, you can have a 360 degree view of the area. But that's nothing, in clear weather you can have one of the best views of Garhwal Himalayas from here. https://youtu.be/6Sir4XRuG_U ...
