About the guide

From Dharamshala with —
Your friend in the Himalayas

My name is Avinay Kumar, and I was born amidst the misty pines and ancient monasteries of Dharamshala. Growing up in the Kangra Valley, every mountain trail, every hidden waterfall, and every local chai spot became part of my soul.

I created “Free Guide For You” because I believe authentic travel should be accessible to everyone — no expensive tour fees, no scripted itineraries. I’ve spent years exploring Kangra, Mcleodganj, Triund, Kareri, and the unexplored corners. Now I’m here to share genuine, detailed, and completely free travel wisdom.
