A WALK UP. A NIGHT OUTSIDE.

Camping in Dharamshala
at Leta Camps.

A two-day, one-night camping itinerary starting in Bhagsu, with an uphill walk past the waterfall to Leta Camps and a return the following morning.

Leta camping combines a mountain walk with time to relax at camp. The route passes Bhagsu Temple, Bhagsu Waterfall and the Shiva Café area before continuing uphill. The listed approach is approximately 3.5 km, including a steep section; plan for walking rather than arriving directly by vehicle.

At camp, settle into an alpine tent, spend time outdoors and enjoy dinner with your group. The next day includes breakfast and a return walk to Bhagsu. Share your dates, group size and walking experience with the team before confirming your stay.
