once they reach here they forget about other crowded hill station, Devidarh is the base of two trekking route one is Shikari Devi treks and other is Kamrunaag Lake treks both the treks are moderate treks. Bike tour and camping are other adventure activities. Bike tour can be started from Mandi, Sundarnagar via Chailchowk, road is almost good upto Shalla after that 2 KM road are in bad condition and then after few KM the whole roads becomes adventurous but after Jahal you can feel that “it is difficult to drive here “!

As per my discussion with local guys they said last winter Devidarh received 6 feet of snowfall.
