From Cancelled Ride to Amazing Nature Walk!
569ganeshw,Apr 9, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Had a great experience with Hilloferry in Dharamshala! Although my guided cycling tour had to be cancelled due to unexpected rain, the way it was handled made all the difference. Our guide, Kamal, quickly arranged an alternative Nature Walk, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. We visited beautiful spots like Gyuto Monastery, explored tea plantations, and even did a peaceful trek along a stream. It felt calm, refreshing, and very close to nature. Kamal is extremely knowledgeable and experienced—he has been organizing these cycling tours and nature walks for years, and it really shows. He shared detailed insights about the surroundings, and I ended up learning a lot about the area. Even though I missed the cycling ride this time, the overall experience was still fantastic. I’ll definitely book the cycling tour with him next time and highly recommend others to do the same!
Scenic Routes, Great Organization, and Warm Hospitality

5.00This cycling tour was an excellent experience from start to finish. The organizer knows the area incredibly well and chose routes that were both scenic and safe, with interesting local insights along the way. Everything was well organized, making the ride smooth and enjoyable without any stress. What really stood out was the warm, welcoming attitude and genuine hospitality — it felt less like a tour and more like riding with a knowledgeable local friend. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the area by bike in a relaxed and memorable way.
Amazing Himalayan mountain biking experience

5.00A genuine bucket list weekend for me to cycle in the Himalayas, made all the better by Kamal who was a wonderful host and guide. Kamal is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. He has many stunning routes around the local area that filled 2 x 6 hour days, and as it was just him and I, he tailored the trip and his own weekend plans entirely around me and my needs. As a regular cyclist I found the routes had a great balance of scenery, cultural interest and physical challenge. I felt entirely safe and cared for in Kamal’s hands which included the equipment he provided (bike and helmet). I will definitely ride with Kamal again the next time in Dharamshala.

5.00We had a wonderful morning riding with Kamal. The route was extremely scenic and some of the sights could easily have been mistaken for Switzerland. Kamal was a great guide on this ride. He was kind enough to carry water and cookies and more importantly, he made the effort to see that everyone was comfortable. I would recommend this ride to anyone looking to create some memories in Dharamshala/Mcleodganj
