The Dhauladhar mountain range, part of the Himalayas, stretches from Chamba and Kangra to Mandi, in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Known for its rugged terrain, steep slopes, and rocky peaks, the higher altitudes are snow-covered, while the lower ranges boast diverse flora and fauna, attracting mountain enthusiasts.
Himachal Pradesh is home to many lakes, with the seven high-altitude lakes being particularly stunning.
These include Nag Dal Lake, Lam Dal Lake, Kali Kund, Kareri Lake, Chanderkoop Lake (Moon Lake), Sukh Dal, and Dam Ghodi Dal, all steeped in mythology and considered sacred by locals who often undertake pilgrimages.

Weight training the body.
Walk uphill or stairs steps with a weighted backpack.
Strength training for the lower body and core. Do planks, crunches and cycling.
