A Guide to the Triund Trek in McLeodGanj + Insider Tips (2024)

If you’re planning on doing the Triund Trek in McLeodGanj, Dharamshala, you have come to the right place!

McLeodCanj, in the state of Himachal Pradesh, is most famous for being the home of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet. This town is close to the city of Dharamshala (a flight or night bus away from Delhi ) and tourists from all over the world come here to learn more about Buddhism and Tibetan culture.

There are plenty of interesting things to do in McLeodGanj , and this town is also home to one of the best Himalayan treks to do on your own: the trek to Triund Hill.

In this guide, you will find everything you need to know if you’re planning on trekking to Triund. You can hike to Triund in 1 or 2 days . I did this hike by myself in one day, but it is also possible to camp at Triund and hike back the next day, but more about this later!

How to do the Triund Trek in McLeodGanj

View on the way to Tirund Hill in McLeodGanj

There are two hiking trails to reach Triund Hill, and they both start in Bhagsu, which is a 20 to 30-minute walk from McLeodGanj.

While nearly everyone takes the easiest trail to hike to Triund and Back, I highly recommend making a loop and taking the easy trail to hike up and the difficult trail to hike back down.

I did it the other way around and took the difficult trail to hike up. This was my favourite one, as I only encountered two other hikers and found the landscape more beautiful here.

This guide describes how to hike up the easier way and hike back down the more difficult way. It speaks for itself that you can also do the hike the other way around as I did, though.

Tip: The way to Triund can easily be found using Maps.me. This app comes in particularly handy for the more difficult trail, as the path isn’t always as straightforward here.

Do you need a guide to hike to Triund?

Although you can hire a guide to do this trek, this is not necessary and many people hike independently. The path is easy to follow and the hike is not too difficult.

However, if you don’t have much hiking experience and would prefer to do the hike with a guide, you can book the guided Triund trek on GetYourGuide. This trek takes 2 days and includes a guide, camping and food.

Hiking from McLeodGanj to Triund

If you’re starting in McLeodGanj, you will first have to head to Bhagsu , which is 2,5 km (1.5 mi) from McLeodGanj. You can either get here by walking or by taking a taxi.

From Bhagsu, you will have to hike (or continue the taxi drive) all the way up to the Gallu Devi Temple . This is where you will find the start of the path to Triund. It all depends on your personal pace, but it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour to get from Bhagsu to Gallu. The right path can easily be found either by asking a local or using Maps.me.

From here on, it is pretty straightforward. There are arrows marking the way to Triund and it is difficult to get lost, as there’s only one path.

It takes a total of approximately 4 to 6 hours to reach Triund (the total distance is around 10 km or 6.2 mi), depending on your personal pace.

It is good to know that there are some shops and restaurants on the trail from Gallu to Triund.

Once you reach Triund, you will have a beautiful view of the Dhauladhar Mountain Range . This includes a view of Moon Peak, Riflehorn and Arthur’s seat.

It is quite big there and this is a nice place to stay for a while (or camp if you want to do the trek in 2 days). By the time I reached Triund, the sky wasn’t clear anymore and you couldn’t really see the mountains, but this is what it looks like on a clear day:

Camping at Triund (optional)

It is possible to camp at Triund if you would like to do the hike in 2 days, although it is possible to do it in 1 day too. I didn’t stay the night at Triund myself, but I’ve heard it is amazing, as you will be able to see the sunset/sunrise and sleep under the stars.

If you want to camp at Triund , it is good to know that you can rent a tent and sleeping bags in the shops there. If you’re visiting the place during the high season, at the weekend or in the holidays, it is better to book in advance, though, as the tents might be booked out (just ask the place where you’re staying in McLeodGanj to book it for you).

Another option is to stay at the government guesthouse . This place can be booked at the Forest Department Office of Dharamshala (+91 1892-224887).

Hiking further: the Laka Glacier Trek (optional)

I didn’t do this myself, but once you reach Triund, it is possible to hike further and do the Laka Glacier Trek. This is a 2 km (1.2 mi) long, steep uphill trek and it is quite strenuous.

This being said, this trek will take you higher along the breathtaking landscapes of the Dhauladhar snow-clad mountains and Kangra Valley. As its name predicts, the Laka Glacier Trek ends at the Laka Glacier, which stands 3,200 m (10,498 ft) above sea level.

It is good to know that you will need 2 or 3 days if you decide to hike to this glacier.

Hiking back to McLeodGanj

To hike back to McLeodGanj, you can follow the Triund – Karthani Trail , on the southern side of Triund Hill. This trail will pass the Bhagsu Waterfall before reaching the centre of Bhagsu.

Note that the Triund – Karthani Trail is not as straightforward as the trail to hike up, but it is not so hard to follow with a little help from Maps.me.

This trail was my favourite part of the hike. It is not much frequented, the landscapes are amazing and I encountered plenty of sheep and goats along the way, which gave me some nice photo opportunities.

Difficulty of the trek to Triund

The Triund Trek is considered a moderate trek . It is not too difficult, but you will need an average fitness level to complete it.

The elevation at Triund is 2,875 m (9,432 ft), while McLeodGanj is at 2,082 m (6,831 ft), so you will ascend about 800 m (2,600 ft) during the hike. This takes a total of 4 to 6 hours and the trek covers about 10 km (6.2 mi) one way.

Although you can do this trek in one day (which is what I did and it is very doable), it will be easier if you camp at Triund and split the hike into 2 days.

If you decide to hike further to the Laka Glacier, you will have to hike up an additional 325 m (1,066 ft).

Best time to do the Triund Trek

The best time to trek to Triund is in the Summer, between the months of March and June . This is when the weather will be at its best and the views will be most clear. You can expect temperatures between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F) at this time of the year.

July to September is the monsoon season. So this is not a good time to trek to Triund unless you don’t mind the rain and slipperiness.

The Winter lasts from October to February and it is possible to do the trek to Triund during this season too. Do note that there will be snow if you’re going in January or February.

Tips for hiking to Triund

Make a loop rather than going down the same way as you came up (this is what most people do).
Use Maps.me to navigate easily.
Bring water , snacks and sunscreen , and wear comfortable shoes . I wore hiking boots, but this trek can also be done with sneakers.
Consider camping for a night to see the sunset/sunrise.

Hike to Bhagsu Waterfall, one of the best places to visit in McLeodGanj

Where to stay in McLeodGanj

There are plenty of places to stay in and around McLeodganj. You can opt for McLeodGanj itself, Bhagsu or Dharamkot.

While McLeodGanj is the place where the Dalai Lama lives, Bhagsu is a 20-minute walk from here and it is quieter. Dharamkot is a 30-minute walk from Bhagsu and it is also quieter than McLeodGanj.

Although McLeodGanj is often referred to as Dharamshala , I would not stay in this city, as it is located 5 km (3.1 mi) downhill of McLeodGanj and it is far from the main tourist attractions.

I stayed in Bhagsu as well as in McLeodGanj while I was there, you will find my top recommendations below:

Shree Guest House ( ⭐ 8.3) : Shree Guest House was my favourite place to stay in the area. This guesthouse is located in a quiet area in McLeodGanj, just a 5 to 10-minute walk from the main street. The rooms are nice and clean, there’s a shared balcony, the wifi is good and Nadish, the owner, is amazing!
Hotel Norbu House (⭐ 9.3): If you’re looking for a more luxurious place to stay with a beautiful view, Hotel Norbu House is the place for you. This hotel is located in a quiet street, near the centre of McLeodGanj and it has all the amenities you might need.
Eevolve Dharamkot (⭐ 8.3): Located in Dharamkot, this eco hostel offers beautiful rooms and a garden. This is a great place to stay if you’re planning on staying in the area for a little longer and would like to enrol in yoga classes, for example.

Triund Trek in McLeodGanj: Final thoughts

The trek to Triund is one of the most popular hikes in Dharamshala and it is easy to understand why. Not only are the landscapes beautiful, but this is also a trek that can easily be done independently.

All in all, this was a trek I really enjoyed, even though the sky wasn’t clear anymore by the time I reached Triund. If I would do it again, I would camp at Triund as this increases the chance of having a clear view.

I hope that this guide was clear and that you have found exactly what you were looking for. Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions. I’m updating this post frequently.

The Complete Guide to Triund Trek

Triund trek is one of the most popular treks to go over a weekend from Delhi and Chandigarh. It is perhaps the easiest Himalayan trek to do on your own.

With breathtaking views of the Kangra valley and the snow-covered Dhauladhar ranges, it is also very picturesque.

Triund is the ideal destination for those seeking a hassle-free taste of trekking in the Himalayas. The trek can easily be done over a weekend.

The trail to Triund is short but steep. The steep climb is well-compensated by refreshing walks amongst rhododendron and oak trees. There are also various songbirds in the forests along the trail which make it a birdwatcher’s delight.

Considering it's an easy trek and with the effortless accessibility from Dharamshala or McLeod Ganj, there are a large number of trekkers who go this trek, making it difficult to enjoy the serenity of the place and can get crowded on top during the weekends or holiday season. It is better to experience the beauty of this trek during the weekdays.

The town of McLeod Ganj (also known as little Lhasa) also provides for a grand opportunity to experience the vibrant Tibetan culture.

The trek offers some of the best views with the very little climb. You don't have to go deep into a valley like the region of Manali or climb for multiple days to get some amazing views.

You get to see the Moon Peak, Rifle Horn, Arthur's seat, and the mighty Dhauladhar range clearly visible right when you start the trek.

2. Trekking in the beautiful pine forests of Himachal Pradesh

Although trekking through the forest section is small on this trek, it takes you through a lovely forest segment that you will remember the trek for.

3. The Stunning Sunset from Triund Trek

The sunset is perhaps the main highlight of the Triund trek and what makes all trekkers stay overnight, camp at the ridge. Look behind and you have the sun setting with some golden lights hitting these mountain ranges.

4. Home to more explorations and treks

Triund trek is actually not the last place on the trek, unlike other summit treks. There is much more to offer for trekking enthusiasts. If you want to explore more and have experience of trekking in the Himalayas, then Triund just acts like a gateway to many more adventures.

There are many places to explore like going all the way to the snow line, the Lakha Cave, and for more experienced trekkers over multiple days, going to Indrahar Pass.

➤ Trail Information

Dharamkot is your base to start the trek of Triund. You can also start the trek from McLeodganj itself, or from two other villages close by- Bhagsu and Gallu. The trail from Dharamkot however is arguably the nicer one as it climbs through a thick crown of pine forests.

The trek has been divided into two days in the trek documentation.

Day 1: Dharamkot to Triund

Trek Distance: 5.45 km Trek Duration: 4 hours GPS Coordinates of Dharamkot: 32°14'55.98"N, 76°19'31.55"E GPS Coordinates of Triund Campsite: 32° 15' 42.084''N, 76° 21' 15.732''E

Start the trek as early as possible. The first half of the trek up faces the sun and the sun in the mountains can be very harsh later in the day.

Get to the water tank near the government primary school at Dharamkot. Next to the water tank, there is a trail that climbs up through a forest. Walk up along this trail for about half an hour to get to the Galu temple clearing. There’s a small tea shop here, just below the shrine.

From here, one trail goes south-west into the forest to the village of Naddi. Another forest trail goes north-west to the stream that descends from Laka. The main trail to Triund continues straight past the small shrine.

Tip: There is an option of taking a cab all the way from McLeod Ganj to Gallu Devi temple. For a vehicle, you will be charged for Rs 500 once you reach the Gallu Devi temple, you will see the trekking trail with the forest checkpoint. There are no charges to be paid. However, your id card is important and your details will be logged into a book.

Your backpack will also be checked for the amount of plastic you are carrying and will be checked again while you return back. Ensure you carry them back and trek responsibly.

The main Dhauladhar range comes into view here with the pyramidal peak of Mun appearing larger than life. This entire stretch is perfect for birdwatchers, as these forests are home to various kinds of songbirds.

You also have the railings at multiple places on the trek along with a few dhabas/cafés serving tea and packaged food on the trek. There are about 22 bends on the trek or the climb.

At around the halfway point you reach magic view café. From here the trail gets steeper.

The trail continues through a series of switchbacks and climbs to the Triund ridge through dense thickets of rhododendron and oak trees.

The last couple of switchbacks bring you out of the rhododendrons and out onto the Triund ridge. It’s an open grassy ridge that stretches a good kilometer to the south before plunging into the Kangra valley.

There are plenty of places to camp here, you could even get some provisions at the tea shops here.

Water is scarce and is available close to 1 km before Triund. It is highly advisable to carry your own supply of drinking water up here.

During the trekking season, there are many dhabas at Triund where you can get a cooked meal and refreshments. Instead of buying any packaged food, it is better to pack food from Dharamkot which won't get spoilt. You can stay overnight at the forest rest house at Triund, by doing an advance booking at Dharamshala. The accommodation here is reasonable, costing around Rs 600 to Rs 800 for a room.

If you are short on time you can also head back to Dharamkot on Day 1 itself, making the round trip to Triund in a single day. You’ll miss out on the lovely views of the evening and morning sky from Triund, but it is possible to return before it gets dark provided you start early.

Descend by retracing your steps along the path you came up with. Coming down should take a lot less time than it took to climb up. It’s a short day so enjoy the walk and stop by at the cafes enroute.

Conversely, if you have the time you can ascend further from Triund to Lahesh cave via Laka. Lahesh cave serves as the base camp for the climb to Indrahar pass (14,250 ft).

There is a tea house at Laka, but you will have to carry your own supplies if venturing further. It is possible to go up to Lahesh cave and descend back to Dharamkot the same day.

➤ Is Triund Trek Difficut

Triund trek is perhaps one of the easiest treks to do in the Himalayas and can be done on your own if you are going from the trail starting from the Gallu Devi temple.

There are no difficult sections as such but note down a few things to keep in mind while trekking.

Trekking on the sections where rocks, boulders can be slippery. Make sure you wear proper trekking shoes and carry trekking poles on the trek.
If you are trekking from the alternative route of the Bagsu waterfalls, you need to be careful about sections that are steeper and very slippery. This is not a popular route which first-time trekkers take.

➤ How To Get Fit For Triund trek

Triund trek is classified as an Easy grade trek. Though the trek is easy, there is a good altitude gain of 3,000 feet. The continuous ascent can be quite demanding for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle.

Here’s a guide to help you get fit for an Easy trek in 4 weeks .

Cardiovascular Endurance

In case you’re just starting with a fitness routine, start slow and increase your pace every day in the following manner:

Target completing a brisk walk of 5 km in 50 minutes when you begin.
Gradually increase your pace by walking 5 km, 3 times a week.
As you become more comfortable, introduce jogging in your routine.
Progressively increase the distance you jog in a workout until you can complete 5 km in 45 mins.

If you prefer cycling over running, target covering 12 km in 60 minutes when you begin.

Progressively increase your pace to cover 15 km in one hour.

Strength Training

This is an important area you need to work on.

Strength training is equally important to trek comfortably. Work on your glutes, calves, and knees. Additionally, work on strengthening your core.

You must strengthen your core muscles. for strengthening your core muscles, holding a plank and it’s variations (elbow, side planks) are the best exercises to go about doing it.

Also, try these exercises for strength - target 4 sets of squats with 20 in each set.

Squats (Mix it up with sumo squats)
Lunges (Forward, backward and lateral lunges)

Flexibility

Flexibility determines the amount of movement your bones can make in any direction around joints such as shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.

It is an aspect that will help you trek comfortably. carrying a backpack, however, light can become a strain. stretching your hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors, and lower back muscles regularly promote relaxation in the tissues reducing the strain on your back.

If you can’t go out and jog because of time and space constraints, here’s a video you can use to work out indoors.

➤ Temperatures On Triund Trek

Depending on the season you are going to trek, the temperatures will vary.

If you are trekking during the summer season, you can expect the day temperatures to be around 16 to 25 degrees. During the night, it can drop to 7 to 10 degrees.

Post-monsoon and the months approaching winters (september to december), you can expect the temperatures to start dropping. The day temperatures will be fairly pleasant at about 14 to 18 degrees. at night time, it can drop to 1 to 5 degrees.

Triund Trek has the luxury of food on the trail. There are quite a few cafes en-route to the top. tea and snacks will be available. However, a better practice is to carry some food from the base in your tiffin box. Some loose dry fruits, channa are the best snacks to carry on a trek.

For water sources , you have the base point of the Gallu Devi temple where you can fill in your water bottles. Carry at least 2 liters of water with you before you start for the trek.

Green Tip: Buying water bottles from the cafe also increases the waste generated. If you are not comfortable with having water from the stream or the waterfalls, carry purification tablets or a life straw bottle to purify the water.

5. How long will the triund trek take?

The triund trek is 5.5 kms one way and will take approximately 5 hours to finish.

6. How difficult is the triund trek?

Triund is one of the easiest Himalayan treks for fit beginners. The trail is 5km one way and is an apt weekend trek out of Dharamshala.

Emergency contacts for Triund Trek

You can contact either the Delek hospital (0189 222 2053) founded by the members of the Tibetian community. For a government hospital, private health care is accessible from the main square of McLeod Ganj

Police station: The closest police station is again at McLeod Ganj

ERSS: For any kind of emergency help, you can contact the Pan-India Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) number- 112

ATMs and Networks on the trek

ATMs: There are a few ATMs at McLeod Ganj that are your most reliable point to withdraw cash. You find SBI and HDFC ATM machines here

Mobile networks: The network is very sketchy on the trek. You find intermittent signals for Jio and Vodafone while trekking and on some rocks near the temple. You don’t get any network coverage on the top.

➤ Places To Visit After the Triund Trek

Exploring Dharamshala will take you one full day. There are monasteries, tea gardens, and the International Cricket stadium one can visit. Also known for His Holiness the Dalai Lama's Main Temple, the place has a strong Tibetian settlement.

2. Bagsu Waterfall and Temple - If you have time after the trek, exploring to the Bagsu Waterfall is also a strong recommendation. To dip your feet in this chilled waters is an exciting thing after the trek. The waterfall is situated just after one kilometer of the Bagsunag Temple.

➤ Alternative Indiahikes treks you can try

If you are not too sure of doing a trek on your own, we have alternatives you can try.

But if you're a first-time trekker, the process of organizing a trek by yourself might get a bit overwhelming. If you want to trek with your family or friend then you might not want the hassle of doing it. In such cases, we have a couple of great treks for you.

At the same time, the trail to Triund has become popular and a bit too crowded. Therefore if you're looking for a peaceful walk in the woods, Triund, unfortunately, is not that.

If you have a couple of days more in hand, Beas Kund is a great option. The starting point of the trek is Solang, just an hour's drive from Manali. That makes it very easy to access. If you're a beginner, it is the perfect trek with great views of the biggest mountains of Manali. Moreover, you get to stand right at the base of the Pir Panjal range.

Triund Trek in McLeod Ganj : A complete guide

Standing over the green meadows at the top of Triund, I was overwhelmed by the sight of the snow covered imposing face of the Himalayas. I can hardly ever forget that image! At the same time, it was natural for me to feel philosophical up there. At the top, it suddenly turns adventure into spirituality, a very unique experience indeed! However, in order to experience that unique feeling, one has to complete a 10 km long trek. Though the Himalayas offer scores of trekking options, Triund trek in McLeod Ganj is one of the moderate ones. If you are up for that experience, here’s a complete guide to the Triund trek in McLeod Ganj.

{To make your reading complete, here’s the link to our Triund trek diary: Triund: Trekking in a garden }. {For more such trekking plans, do check out: Dzukou Valley Trek }

The base location: McLeod Ganj/ Dharamshala

The location of Triund near McLeod Ganj in Dharamshala couldn’t be any better. Its history, heritage, scenic views, cultural and spiritual vibes are reasons for me to go back again and again. It was established as a hill-station by the British in the later part of the 19th century. In fact, it’s named after a British lieutenant governor- David Friell Mcleod.

{Read about another hill-station named after a British official: Dalhousie }

It was only in the post-independence era, in 1959, Tibetan leader- His Highness the Dalai Lama sought political refuge in India. In an act of solidarity with the Tibetan freedom struggle, Indian government permitted to set up his capital in exile in McLeod Ganj. Since then, McLeod Ganj has become a hub of Tibetan Buddhism, and is known as ‘Little Lhasa’ (the capital of Tibet).

On my part, I have a fondness for Buddhist philosophy as well as Tibetan culture, especially their colourful Monasteries. Besides, Dharamshala is also home to tea gardens, heritage sites and much more. In many ways, it reminds me of Darjeeling (have look). Find a list of major tourist attractions in Dharamshala-McLeod Ganj in a section below .

Triund Trek in McLeod Ganj: A fact sheet

Triund peak is 2850 meters (9350 feet) above sea level. The route of Triund trek in McLeod Ganj is 9-10 kilometers (one way) from the base to the top, and can be covered in 5-6 hours. If one starts early in the morning, one can complete the Triund trek in one day. However, a night-stay in a tent at the Triund peak overseeing the snowy mountains is an amazing experience not to miss.

For your information, some trekkers go much beyond Triund peak. They trek up to snow-line at 3500 meters (10,000 feet), and Indrahar pass at 4300 meters (14108 ft). Thus, if you are interested in trekking beyond Triund peak, have some more days in hand.

Triund Trek in McLeod Ganj: How to plan

We heard that trekkers do it in all seasons across the year. But in general, in my view, spring (March-April) is the best time. The temperature is just perfect, neither too cold nor too hot. Besides, clear skies mean the best views. And of course, not to forget the Rhododendrons ( Buraansh in Hindi). Because Rhododendron flowers bloom only in the spring. Believe me, the walk among the Rhododendrons is absolutely enjoyable.

Monsoons could be risky due to possibility of landslide/ rocks falling off. Besides, thick clouds block views of the valley. Winters would be too cold to enjoy, especially the night camping at the top. In the summer, day time trekking would be really difficult; but one can start in the wee hours of the morning.

Arranging the trek (with a guide or without):

Though one really doesn’t need a guide to trek, it’s good to have one if you are doing it the first time, or you are with family. The guide’s company provides all amenities like tents, blankets and food/ water, etc. They carry all the stuff by mountain-hardened horses. They charge approximately Rs. 1000 per person, including guide services, tents, sleeping gear, food, etc.

If you need a guide, you may contact Anil (we have his mobile phone number; just ask in the comment section).

To camp overnight or not:

No doubt, camping for the night at the top is a must do. The blanket of stars spread across the clear night sky makes it an unforgettable experience. The nearby snow-clad mountains are visible even in the darkness of night. And if it is a full moon night, one would enjoy sitting outside the tents or walking around the plateau. Plus, the experience of the morning-after is also beautiful. See in the picture below how a morning at the top looks like.

Alone or in a group:

While travelling in groups can be a little limiting (freedom) in general, I would say it’s more enjoyable trekking (and other adventure trips) in groups rather than alone. Moreover, trekking in group reduces the fear factor, and calms down the nerves.

The trek route and schedule

The two routes:.

There are two main routes to complete the Triund trek in McLeod Ganj:

While one route starts from Bhagsunag temple side, the other one starts from the Guna Devi temple.
Though the route that starts from Bhagsunag temple is a bit shorter than the other one, it’s steeper at places.
The route starting Guna Devi temple is longer, but has gentler slopes. However, in order to take this route, one needs to hire a vehicle to get dropped at Guna Devi temple, some 2-3 kms away. Else, add that distance in the trek itself, which makes it around 12+ kilometers.
In any case, both the routes have easy to moderate slopes at different points.
Overall, I would suggest first timers to take the Guna Devi temple route.

When to start:

In order to complete the Triund trek in McLeod Ganj in one day, one should start as early as possible in the day so as to reach the top by early afternoon. This way, one has some time in hand to spend at the top, and enough time to reach back McLeod Ganj before it’s dark.
If one is planning for night camping, the starting time can be a little late in the morning. But it’s always good to start early so as to avoid trekking in the afternoon sun, unless it’s winter or spring.

The trekking path:

As Triund is a popular trek route in McLeod Ganj, the trekking path is well laid out. Moreover, unlike many trekking routes, one would not get lost on the way. At places, the path is like a stairway made of rocks/ stones. At other places, it’s just a gentle slope to hike. It’s only towards the end of the trek that the path becomes a little steep and a bit difficult, that’s only about 1 km.

One thing that I loved particularly about the trekking path was the abundance of blooming Rhododendron trees. Interestingly, number of these trees kept increasing as we gained height. So much so that at one point, it just felt like trekking in a garden! You will experience the same if you are trekking in the spring.

The Midway rest points:

On the way, there are two proper halting stations, which really means two decent eateries. The first one is called the Magic point, approximately 2 kms from the starting point.

Just ahead of the Magic point, look for a small off-route towards left side. Hike a bit to find a nice view point, perfect for photography. I liked a huge black rock there inching out of the hill surface like a cliff. It’s easy to climb up there and take cool clicks!

The second one doesn’t have a name, but it’s like a little polythene covered snack point. After the second rest point, the trekking route becomes gradually more difficult.

How is it at the top:

Once you reach the top, it’s but obvious to be overwhelmed by the sight of those snow-clad Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas. You will feel as if the grand mountains are smiling at you and are welcoming you to their home. Instantaneously, all the pain taken in the last 5-6 hours would vanish, and would seem totally worth it.

After a while, you will notice the lush green plateau beneath your feet. Huge pieces of boulders interspersing the meadows look fascinating!

Triund Trek in McLeod Ganj: Miscellaneous Tips

In this section, I list out a few miscellaneous tips which might be helpful in planning and making up your mind for the Triund trek in McLeod Ganj.

How to reach:

By air: Gaggal airport, 15 kms away | Flights from Delhi and Chandigarh
By train: Joginder Nagar is the nearest station, 70 kms away
By road: Regular comfort buses from Delhi (~500 kms) and Chandigarh (250 kms) | Or, one can drive

Where to stay:

Budget hotels: Moon Walk Residency | Hotel Akash | Albela House | Grand View Lodge | Treebo Trend Roshan House | Green Hotel | King Castle
Hostels: The Hosteller (Bhagsunag | Mall Road) | Moustache | Zostel | Mitra Hostel | Young Monk Hostel & Cafe | Alt-Life Dharamkot | La Vaca India | goSTOPS.

moustache-hostel-mcleodganj-budget-trip-enjoyable

Where to eat:

Dress for the trek:

Wear comfortable fitting clothes. Avoid tight-fitting clothes like jeans.
Put on layers (sweaters, jackets etc) as per seasonal requirement.
The weather can deteriorate any time at the top. So, it’s good to carry some woolens even during the summers.
Trekking shoes, or at least good sports shoes with grip is a must.
Besides, a cap or some kind of head gear is advisable.
Further, sunglasses are a good addition.

Big question: Is there a toilet up there?

Answer: No; so, you know what to do, right! (The Forest Deptt. is not allowing any construction work at the top. However, somewhere below the peak, some trek operators have toilet facilities). In any case, believe me, toilet would not matter; everyone manages just well, out in the open.

Things to carry:

If you are not on a guided trek, of course you have to carry the tent, blanket, food etc.
A torch, a lighter and an umbrella would be handy
A walking/ trekking stick is optional (we didn’t need them)
Some dry snacks/ energy bar
Water bottle; not too many, just one to start with. Their weight can be annoying. In any case, there are small shops at 2-3 points on the way.
Above all, carry basic first-aid kit; sun-screen lotion, etc.
While you might want to carry a lot of things, control your urge. It will be better to keep yourself light rather than stuffed.

Things to explore in McLeod Ganj/ Dharamshala

By the way, after completing the Triund trek in McLeod Ganj, you better have some more time to explore that wonderful place. There are so many interesting places to see and things to do! Here are a few that I would suggest.

Natural sites:

Naddi view point; nice to walk around in the wilderness enjoying the views
If you love waterfalls, hike 1-2 kms to reach Bhagsu Waterfalls
Dharamkot, a sleepy village to leisurely hangout
Dharamshala Tea Gardens; enjoy the view, and shop some great tea
Dal lake, a cute little lake
If you love paragliding, you have to travel a bit more to reach Bir- Billing, the paragliding site, 75 kms away.

dharamshala-tea-gardens-ways-of-responsible-travel

Cultural Experiences:

For a great spiritual experience, visit the Dalai Lama temple complex. Find out if he is around, and speaking at the temple one evening
Namgyal Monastery, a beautiful Buddhist temple
Shakti Peeth Chamunda Devi temple; 25 kms
Tashi Jong Monastery; 56 kms away
Baijnath Shiva temple; 60 kms away
Conveniently, the last three places are actually on the same route, i.e. towards Bir.

Heritage sites:

Church of St. John in the wilderness; established 1852
Norbulingka Institute: Tibetan school of art and craft; 15 kms away
Kangra fort; the largest fort in the Himalayas, and one of the oldest in India; 30 kms away
Musroor rock cut temple; an 8th century Hindu temple; 45 kms away.

Other sites of interest:

The Tibet Museum; a great collection of Tibetan artefacts and culture
Dharamshala Cricket Stadium: A picturesque ground with the Himalayas in the backdrop
Kangra Art Museum; rich collection of traditional miniature paintings.

Concluding Notes

Triund trek in McLeod Ganj is really enjoyable with gentle slopes and great views of the Himalayas all around. It’s long enough to give that satisfaction of completing a proper trek. At the same time, i t’s not too long to deter non-regulars to undertake this trek. If you have never done trekking in mountains, Triund trek in McLeod Ganj is a great option to start the journey.

I would suggest to plan your trek in the spring season- late March to April end, especially because of pleasant weather and the Rhododendron flowers. Do plan for a overnight camping at the top. Further, icing on the cake would be a full moon night. If possible, do it in a small group- your best buddies.

Besides, please don’t forget to have some extra time (at least two days) on hand to explore places in and around McLeod Ganj. Have a great time and thank me later!

Hi Rajat! Thanks for sharing your experience. Yeah, Triund is a nice trek for beginners. Keep in touch.

Triund Trek: The Perfect Hike from Mcleodganj + Mountain Goats!

Asia , Hiking , India , travel
Updated: January 19, 2024

Dharamshala in Northern India is famous for its association with the Dalai Lama and Tibetan community. It’s a fascinating and soul-nourishing place, but not far beyond the city you can experience soul-stirring peaks and joyful encounters with nature.

For anyone planning a visit to Dharamshala in Northern India , I encourage you to journey out onto the nearby nature trails that surround the city. If you’re wondering what hikes to do – as there are many – the Triund Trek is accessible to everyone and should be at the top of your list.

Triund is a green alpine meadow situated on top of a hill station from where you have breathtaking views of the snow-capped Dhauladhar mountains and Kangra valley.

The hike to Triund from McLeodganj is a captivating adventure that promises majestic landscapes, walking with mountain goats, and the sheer joy of being up-close and connected with the Himalayan foothills.

Duration, distance & difficulty level

Duration: The trek to Triund begins from McLeodganj and can easily be completed in one day. It usually takes 3 hrs up and 2 hrs down. You’ll want to leave enough time to spend at least 1 – 2 hrs enjoying the views from Triund Hill, so I recommend starting early.

Note: You can extend by one or two days by continuing onto the Snowlike Trek and also the Indrahar Pass Trek which takes you to 4,342 metres above sea level.

Distance: Depending on your starting point, it’s between 18 – 22 km round trip on foot.

Elevation: Triund is at an altitude of 2800 metres, with a trek elevation of approx 1000 metres.

Difficulty: Although difficulty rating is quite subjective, I think it’s relatively easy – moderate comparative to other treks in the area.

I can assure you that if you have general fitness, with no problems standing on your feet all day, then you will be able to comfortably finish the trek in one day. If you get tired, there’s plenty of resting opportunities along the way, including a few stops for refreshments.

Getting to the trailhead

The starting point of the trek is Galu Devi Temple , and you can get there by walking or getting a taxi from Mcleodganj, or from Bhagsu Nag village. Of the two, Mcleod Ganj is more straightforward and easier, but Bhagsu Nah offers the better views to where the trail starts at Galu.

1st part of the Triund Trek

Hiking trail from McLeod Ganj, Dharamshala

The start of the trail is well marked and offers charming views of the valley and Dharamshala in the distance.

Almost as soon as the hike began, the uniqueness of the Triund trek began to unfold. From behind me, I could hear hooves clicking on the path and the sound was getting closer and closer.

I turned to look around, and saw a Shepard accompanied by his herd of donkeys and horses carrying heavy supplies strapped to their side. A couple of tiny dogs were running along for the ride like little musketeers.

I walked with them for a while, feeling utterly overjoyed to be sharing the path with a herd of animals instead of a hoard of humans.

Eventually, I was no match for their well-oiled engines, causing the gap between us to grow until they disappeared up the paths and behind a forest of trees.

About halfway through, I reached Magic View café , a charming makeshift mountain shop.

Located at the side of a cliff, it offered sublime views of the valley below. I ordered a chai tea and rested for a few moments to take in the full panorama of the valley.

As much as I felt content to stay, the thought of getting a better view from the top lifted me from my seat and onto my feet once again.

2nd part of Triund Trek + encounter with mountain goats

Soon after leaving Magic View café, I stopped in my tracks at the sight of a huge group of mountain goats. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen before.

Amusingly, most of them were lounging around the main path. They couldn’t have looked less disinterested about any humans trying to pass through, myself included. I wondered whether it would be best to wait until a clearing in the path became available. Instead, I ended up weaving myself around them, careful not to step on any tails.

I stood for a while, marvelling at their beautiful long coats which swept along the ground like majestic capes in glossy shades of cream and brown, and grey and black.

Mountain goats in Mcleodganj - Northern India

Their most notable feature, their horns, looked as though they had been carved from a sculptor’s well-honed chisel. No two were the same. Each unique and differed dramatically in shape. Some horns shot up like spiral daggers, others had grown in flat a circular motion like two cinnamon swirls.

Adding to the awe-inspiring scene were adorable babies goats, or ‘kids’ frolicking under the sun. They looked exactly like lambs. So cute! Possessing the energy of youth; not yet fully confident or capable on their legs but brimming with that youthful curiosity and persistence to get up and keep trying.

I genuinely could have turned back now and I would have been extremely happy. I felt nothing could top my encounter with these magisterial creatures. Though I still had lots of fuel in my tank, and with more people making their way up, it was time to move on.

The climb from here got steeper and rockier, and with this the views of the valley became wider and more spectacular.

The last 25 minutes to the top were probably the most challenging, with many curves in the trail (22 in total), but totally doable.

Reaching Triund Hill

Right before reaching the top, the view was obscured by a mound of huge boulders, only adding to the anticipation. Finally, one swift turn around the final corner, and there it was, the magnificent Dhauladhar mountain range of the Himalayas.

Stunning doesn’t even begin to describe it. I just stood scanning the whole view and imprinting it to memory. This was a moment I wanted to last forever.

If someone had told me that I was in Switzerland, I would have believed them. The towering sharpness of the slopes that looked almost close enough to touch, extended beyond a fertile meadow filled with grazing horses.

I sometimes wonder, how on earth does such beauty even exist, and how lucky I am to experience it.

Exploring Triund Hill - boulders & paragliders

In the distance, I spotted a couple of paragliders, and watched them surf and meander through the thin clouds setting off from the top and into the valley below.

I have always thought if I could be transformed into any animal, it would be a bird. Can you imagine? Gliding across mountain tops, valleys, rivers, and borders. These paragliders seemed to have achieved something magical that resembled such freedom, if only for a few short but exhilarating moments.

As I began to explore Triund Hill, I came across lots of huge rocks, a playground for bouldering enthusiast. There weren’t many people in this section so I scrambled up a few just for the fun of it.

I stayed on Triund Hill for almost two hours, until fog started to appear. I watched as it engulfed the summit and soon could see nothing of the sharp peaks. It was a good job I started early. Had I arrived in the late afternoon, I would have been disappointed. Slowly, I turned around and made the journey back the way I came.

By stepping out onto these time-worn paths located on the foothills of the Himalayas, you’ll leave with a little bit of your heart behind.

When is the best time to hike Triund?

The trek to Triund top can be done almost all year round except for the rainy months of July and August, and if you want to hike during peak winter months of January and February there will be a lot of snow so you should only go with a guide.

In December, you can expect the first snowfall on the trek. The spring and summer months of March to June have the best weather conditions to trek. Though post-monsoon in autumn from early September to November have the clearest views of the mountains during the trek.

I went in early October and the weather was perfect for hiking, with great visibility to enjoy crystal-clear views of the Dhauladhar mountains and Kangra valley

Want a more challenging hike? Add on the Indrahar Pass Trek

If you’re after something more challenging, you can extend the trek by one or two nights to complete the Indrahar Pass which reaches an elevation of 4300+ metres. Essentially, you do the Triund Trek, but continue to the Pass which increases in difficulty. It takes 3 or 4 days depending on your pace.

If you wish to do this hike, I recommend going with High Point Adventure . It’s an excellent and honest tour company and the guides are very kind and knowledgable. You can find their office located on Dalai Lama Temple Road in Mcleodganj.

I was supposed to do this trek with a guide, but had to cancel the morning of this hike as I spent most of the night awake. I’m not sure what happened exactly, but I’m quite certain it was an allergy to moth balls. Yep, of all things, moth balls. Many accommodations use them across India and they’re full of chemicals. For some of you, the smell might be nostalgic of your grandma’s cupboards.

The day previously, I had been hiking around the area and frolicking in the nature, feeling happy as a bee in honey. Everything was great until it was time to sleep.

Once I laid down and attempted to nod off, the sneezing started from out of nowhere. My nose turned into a running tap, followed by uncomfortable wheezing from my chest. The symptoms lasted all night, and I felt tired and miserable in the morning.

After a few moments of self-pity, I decided it would be better just do the Triund Trek. I was concerned it would develop into a cold, and I wouldn’t have the energy to make it over the Indera Pass, so figured I’d settle with the hike to Triud which I’d still manage even if I was feeling under the weather.

Regardless, the beauty that unfolded on the Triund Trek, and the view from the top, was enough to literally unblock my nose so I could smell the nature (also… there’s no nasty moths balls in nature so that helped!).

I’m sure I can also attribute feeling good to all the extra endorphins that you naturally get from all that increased breathing while hiking!

Where to stay in McLeodganj

I stayed in two different places while in McLeodganj – one in the centre of town that was a bit more plush, and the other was basic accommodation situated in nature.

If you’re short on time, I recommend staying somewhere in the centre of town. This way you’ll also have a wealth of cultural offerings on your doorstep, not to mention some great places to eat after a day of exploring.

While in town, I recommend staying at Norbu House . It has everything you need and more. Close proximity to the Dalai Lama Temple and each room has a balcony with beautiful views.

For the basic accommodation, I stayed at Sagar Cottage (not bookable online), which is located next to Galu Devi Temple. If you have a heavy wheelie bag, this place will be tricky to reach, but if you’re looking to be away from town and just want to go hiking, then it provides a good base. While it might be basic, the higher vantage point affords exceptional views.

If you’re looking for somewhere bookable that’s set on the outskirts of the city and closer to nature, Saheb’s Castle also offers an alternative stay.

Turn left side from the three way intersection in front of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Regional Mountaineering Centre and then you will reach Dharamkot and stand in front of the Water Tank and the Govt Primary school of Dharamkot.

You will also find a cafeteria here. Or you can hire an Auto Rickshaw or taxi/cab for INR 60/- and INR 300/- to get a drop up to Dharamkot Primary School. Just from the left side of the Water Storage Tank and the main gate of Primary School, Dharamkot a jungle trail starts which will consume one hour of walk and will lead you to Gallu Devi Temple. Or you can continue with hired taxi/cab/auto-rickshaw through a rough road up to Gallu Devi Temple. (It’ll be costlier due to very poor road condition).

Or if you are in Bhagsu Nag then you can follow a steep trek on the left of German Bakery which goes through shops and a temple and then Bhagsu Nag village and will finally end on the back side of Gallu Devi Temple. (This is a shortcut for Gallu Devi Temple, but a hard and stiff trek and will consume most of your energy, so try to avoid it).

After reaching Gallu Devi Temple, here you will come across another cafeteria/shop named Rest A While with a small water pond and which is operational since 1988 and managed by Mr Tinku. Gallu Devi Temple is on top of the shop and another perfect one named Sun & Moon Café owned by Mr.Thapa.

From Gallu Devi Temple you can see Kareri and Balreh Village on North-West direction and BhagsuNag in East. Here you will also find three Guest Houses, providing rooms for stay for INR 500/- per night (off season).

Here the trail going upward by the side of Sun & Moon Cafe is the Trail to Triund Hill and at present Forest Department has put fence on the outer-side of trail, so no chance of getting lost unless someone wanders off intentionally!

The trek from Sh. Gallu Devi temple gets a bit of tough, with steep curves and moderate trails. It takes you about four hours (leisurely trek) and three hours (fast trek) to reach Triund Hill but for some it may take 6 hours to reach the top. On your way to Triund you will come across two refreshment shops first one named Magic View Cafė at a height of 2,500 meter run and owned by Shri Joginder Sharma since 1984 and other adjoining Magic View Cafė is Best View Cafė run by Shri Hemraj since 1998. Continue your trek after a rest and you will reach Triund Hill within 1 or 2 hours depending upon your stamina.

Do not walk on the outer steps of the trek and watch your steps…this trek is a moderate to easy category trek…so try to avoid any type of accident. Also please do not litter or throw garbage on the treks or down in the valley, Contribute and Help in keeping Nature Clean. Happy Trekking!

In Triund , there is a Guest House operated by Forest Department Dharamsala and the booking can be done by visiting their office Forest Complex, which is behind Park Restaurant opposite to Dharamsala Police Station and General Post Office. (They have stopped booking over phone due to some tricky calls and some mischievous tourists) The rooms cost around 500 INR* (rates may vary) per day!

Clothing’s as per weather, shoes with good grip, water bottles , sun protection cream and hat/cap, First Aid Kit, and Chocolates and juice but remember to bring the empty pack of chocolate and juices or carry fruits likeOrange, Banana as better options for Fresh Energy and also as these will not trash the Nature.

Cool, many thanks..

we are pleased to know it helped 🙂

I have moved to dharamshala recently.. someone told me that triund is risky, last year 2 frenchmen went missing. That scared me a bit. But from ur blog it doesnt seem like that..

😀 it’s not like that….we have seen solo girl Hiking Indrahar Pass n solo trekkers in Gunna Mata temple area…the case of French nationals is like dubious and that too when the region is populated by shepherds…kind of weird but no chance of bear or human attack…..rest Dhauladhar knows best

Thanks very much for clearing the doubts..

Is there any safety issue for girls?

no …just need to be careful….

It’s not like that. It was our first trek and took 8 hours from the foothill. We didn’t tk cab to gally Devi as we wanted to have experience for the first tym. It was little bit scary from best view café as there was basically no path. There was huge rocks to climb up. And a bit of risky, otherwise a really gd trek for the first timer.

Is triund trek open now?

Good day, Ritika, yes Triund Trek is open in 2021 for day hikes.

Hi ! I am planning a trek to Triund on 8th March. This would be my first trek so i need a lot of information regarding a guide/ porter(if required)/ accomodation there.. and would it be possible to come back the next day to Mcleodganj?

please call +919736159152; +919805439165

Hi, this would be my first trek ever and i am doing it solo. i have heard a lot about triund trek, i just dont know what to expect , what all to pack. i am a little uncomfortable with the lack of knowledge and information. I an going through all possible blogs i could find on the internet thats how i landed here.

would be grateful if you could help me with this. i am putting down my number and email address here. +91 9871668555 [email protected]

I have planed a visit of Mcleo, Dharmshala & Kangra on 3rd week of May’17.. I m planning to visit Triund but I wanted to take my parents there as they never seen such place.. is there any possibility that I can reach there without tracking like by helipad or with horse.. Kindly help..

you can hire pony or horse from Gallu Devi Temple ahead Dharamkot…up to Gallu Devi Temple you can reach there by Taxi worth 300 to 500 INR

We just got back from Triund. It was fantastic. We hired an excellent guide, Ramjeet (The Mountain Boy). He was absolutely the best. Considerate and attentive and very informative because he grew up in a nearby village. He found wood and built us a nice campfire. We had all our gear except a tent and he got us a rental tent for a small fee. As a bonus, his father manages one of the government guesthouses and was able to help feed us great food at low cost. His number is +91 88941 87613 He can also arrange taxi to/from the Sun and Moon Cafe so you don’t have to trek with automobile traffic from McLeodGanj!

thank you so much sir for your feedback…we’d love to see you for farther trek up to Indrahar Pass and beyond up to Chamba :D..

i must say admin ur doing a great job…….im rishi from palampur and regular visitor of the place. tips given by you to the guests from other states/countries are exact and correct…..hats off dear, keep up the good work and happy hiking…sometime later would like to trek all the way to bharmour…

hi guys.. i am planning to take this trek (on 2nd june) with friends but have only morning to evening in hand. in fact my bus from dharamshala is at 7:30pm on monday. please advise, how to finish this trek in one day if i start very early in the morning.

>> i wish to witness maximum scenic beauty during the trek so help me with routes i should take and make the most out of it.

>> is the trek difficult for first timers?

>> will the climate be comfortable to trek? i hope its cold.

hi to complete it in one day start early by 6 AM so that you get to hear the sounds of Nature and the early rays of sun rise..on trail also this will help to get away from the Hot Sun later on trail…it’s not difficult trek..and moderate cold

hey thanks! ill definitely start early. > do i need a guide to take along or can manage on my own? > how much time will i take to reach on top and get back?

you need guide only during heavy snowfall…as of now it is a simple hill walk…all you need to be is careful and not walk on outer edges of trail…and if you start by 6 AM then you can reach Triund Hill by 10-11 AM and spend good time up there say till 3pm and can reach back to McLeodganj or Dharamsala by 6-7pm as there is plenty of evening light during summer 🙂

hii admin..m shibasis from kolkata..!!i would like to go to this triund trek in the mid october with my 5 other friends.i hv never been to tht part so can you suggest the details for guides ,porter and about expences..!!we hv 7 days in our hand so can you plan our trek including triund..!! it will be graet help for us..!waitins for ur reply..!!

hi please connect to us in https://www.facebook.com/triundhill/ actually we have a trek on Sep end or First week of Oct let’s…and probably can guide also you up to Lahesh Cave…we’ll discuss more on fb page inbox

Hi Me and my wife will be traveling for tracking here on 5 or 6th dec . Few doubts I have is it safe to track even if no one is around that time? Can we come back same day ? And will we be able to see snow there? Any suggestions we need to take care or carry with us for treck?

We are five frndzzz and planning for Triund trek in Mid of September, can we go at this time, or its heavy rain there in this month. Please advise.

mid Sep is good time..not much rain

Hi I am planning on trekking in November this year. I’m a first time trekker, so need to know what will the weather be like at this time of the year.

Also My main concern are toilets. Are there toilets, and if there are what kind of toilets are available. need to also know if we need to make prior bookings for these.

Hi, First week of Nov will be good up to Indrahar Pass and for Triund Hill and SnowLine Cafe till Nov end….as of toilets : there is no specific arrangement for it….there are toilet rooms but not used for lack of water on spot though there is a small stream 2km Northward to left below trail to SnowLine Cafe and tea stall owners fetch water from there..so toilet is in open space….and also as of guides if you are planning only up to SnowLine Cafe and Triund Hill then you don’t need guide till Snow season (say Dec to April) but we do recommend guides for Indrahar Pass. for Triund and SnowLine it is simple trek just watch your steps 🙂 and take time to read here https://triundhill.blogspot.in/p/route-for-triund.html?m=0 or https://www.wikihow.com/Trek-to-Triund-Hill and for Booking of rooms in Rest House you need to visit in person the office of Forest Complex opposite to General Post Office Dharamsala and behind the Restaurant… 🙂

let us know either here or fb page inbox message if you need further assistance

We are 4 friends from Chandigarh and planning to visit triund on October 24th/ 25th…Kindly suggest and answer my following Queries:

1 – Is this is the ideal season to visit Triund 2 – Ca we get tents there itself for 4 people or do we need to book in advance 3 – Do we need to carry some sort of eatable items or gas burner with us 4 – Is it safe to stay night at the peak 5 – Would it be enough to carry sleeping bags only for night stay 6 – I read somewhere that be careful from asian bear or female black deer @ triund…is that so ?

Kindly advice !

Thanks Vineet

it is ok during Oct and for tents and sleeping bag …you will get everything in Triund

What is the distance from Triund to Guna Devi? Thank-you!

hi the trail to Guna Devi goes from SnowLine and Laka…and you need a guide for same…and so recommend you first do Triund Hill and come back to Gallu Devi Temple near Sun & Moon Cafe and from there take right hand trail that goes through small waterfall and further that same trail goes to Guna Devi Temple via Balreh village…and if you consider this plan then you don’t need any guide……and in Guna Devi temple you can even stay for a night..there is a sarai (rest rooms with woolen blankets)…..

Sorry if I double-posted! I just joined the discussion! Friends and I are planning to trek June 2015 in McLeodganj area. We want to see both Triund and Guna Devi. Could anyone best advise the distance between these two, and any recommendations? Thank-you!

Hi, first trek to Triund and then come back to Gallu Devi Temple area rest in Guest House and on other day head to Guna Devi Temple via Balreh or Ball village easy trek no guides needed

Thanks Admin for informative reply, we will surely keep d environment clean n green. There has been some change in our program n we r going for 2 nights/ 3 days trek to Laka glacier. Can u pls suggest some good trekking and tour companies for us? Also is are there any chance of finding snow at Laka Glacier during first week of October?

098 05 831447 of the owner of httpss://www.facebook.com/pages… all are just friends no agent commission link

in Laka you’ll get to see Glacier but no snow…rest depends on Global Warming if it snows early 😀

Thanks Admin for informative reply, we will surely keep d environment clean n green. There has been some change in our program n we r going for 2 nights/ 3 days trek to Laka glacier.

If you all can make it in Sep end.. I can join u girls.. the last weekend of sept..!!

Hi Shivee!! It would be our pleasure if u join us but our office holidays are during that period. Sorry but we cant prepone the trip.

Oh..! My bad.. I will be in Kullu Dussehra by then.. 🙂

Hi Shilpam,

I would also be travelling during same time and looking for some co-traveler…do let me know

i have seen your trekking plan mentioned above. I think our travel dates do not match as you are starting early. We ae starting on 4th oct.

No problem…enjoy ur trip 🙂

Hi Admin.. I’m planning to trek till Lahesh caves in 1st week of October… Will I get to see snow at snowline or after snowline till Lahesh caves? And where can I get sleeping bags on rent from? Thanks in advance..

well you’ll see Glacier and for sleeping bag and mat you can hire from SnowLine Cafe a head Triund Hill

Hi there! I am planing Triund, Laka and Indrahara this Sept, last weekend… Most probs I will be traveling solo.. Any tips on how to manage stay..? I am not sure of where to stay.. Day one I will b staying in Triund. n day two Lahesh caves.. Also if anyone is going to the same trek.. I can join them..

We recommend First Stay in SnowLine Cafe and on day 2 if you get some fellow trekkers ( which is very likely possible) then trek to Indrahar Pass and come back to SnowLine Cafe same day by eve…and talking of solo then too we suggest first stay in SnowLine Cafe and then if still solo then don’t go beyond Lahesh Cave…..but chances that you’ll find someone in SnowLine Cafe..avoid first stay in Triund Hill to save energy to cover Laka stretch up to Lahesh Cave.

we also suggest you post this thread in Couchsurfing and Twitter with #Triund as tag.. 🙂

Hi, I would like to know that.. where exactly is snowline and can I stay here without any booking beforehand.. any contact details..? also is it a safe place to stay.. umm.. and what’s the tariff like?

for SnowLine Cafe the trail goes from top back side of Forest Dept Rest House and from the left side of empty water cement tank…follow the trail upward which will take upward right turn and is single easy to follow trail..in mid way you’ll come across cemented patch and a small temple dedicated to as Tirange Wali Mata…and further trek will lead you to SnowLine Cafe…and talking of booking well no need but better is if you reach early…rest they have tent and sleeping bag facility also…as normally we / people sleep inside cafe which can easily accommodate 8 people and charge around 250/-INR (could be less or more) tent will cost around 800INR as of safety you’ll get to note that, food one time around 150 INR tea 30-35INR carry water bottle and refill in laka prior Lahesh Cave Climb up…and most probably you’ll find some company for sure…as not all comment here or in fb page… 😀 rest we wish you A Safe, Clean and Green Hike…Be A Proud Green Hiker :D.

Thanks a lot 🙂

We are four people, 2 adults and two kids, aged 9 yrs. and 11 yrs., are leaving delhi on 01st april for triund and further. how is the snow condition there at triund. we are taking our own 4 men tent.

there is moderate to less snow on final trail to Triund and less snow in Triund Hill and beyond Triund lies SnowLine Cafe and right now there is good snow on trail to SnowLine Cafe, SnowLine Cafe and Laka….you can pitch your tents and for that need to pay 100 INR to Forest Dept Guest House in Triund(the supervisor) of Guest House will collect himself and handover receipt for same…

though we are sure that you’ll find some company….rest you can enjoy even SnowLine Cafe, Laka and Triund and schedule a longer trek to Indrahar Pass and Kawarsi and then exit Chamba for next time :)..we may execute our trek in next season of Oct 2015

Sure, I will join you guys for sure..

hi renu i will also plan to triund with ma friends when u come ??? i will come in oct. 18-19 any one same plan on this date

did you stay in lahesh caves??

I am planning to do the Triund and Snowline Hike. I just wanted to know if I can do a solo hiking,…given the fact that i have never done trekking before. Further, I have made a rough plan for the trip…would like ur comments if its doable or not:

Oct 01: start from delhi in night Oct 02: Reach Dharamshala early morning. Relax a little. Start the trek for Triund. reach Triund mid-day….explore the place. do night stay in Triund itself (options : Guest houses/Tents). Oct 03: Trek further to snowline. Have lunch there itself (if available) head back to Dharamshala and reach there by evening. Spend night in Dharamshala Oct 04: Go to bir for paragliding

Head back to base 🙂

this sounds perfect….up to SnowLine Cafe no problem for solo hike you’ll get food and stay even in SnowLine Cafe…Snowline Cafe is just 1 hour climb from Triund

THanks a lot for the reply…jus a few more queries…as you must be aware…Oct 2-4 is an extended weekend… 1) So do i need to do any kind of pre-booking in triund for night stay ? for tents or the forest guest house…also if u can provide number of someone who can arrange tent in triund for night stay 2) Do i need woolen clothes for that period of time ? 3) Will i get to see some snow anywere nearby 😉

I am planning a trip in the First week of October from 2nd to 4th, I will be reaching there by 2nd Oct, early morning. I am trying to look for hotels but couldn’t exactly find whats good or whats not.. and also as this is my first trek so little confused bout some things. still got some idea after going through the discussions below, But, please guide me on following things:

1. As I will be reaching there in the early morning, what i should do? like i should book the hotel first and then start for the trek as i will be staying in Mcleodganj till 4th oct, and the trek will be finished by 3rd what i got to know from the discussions.. ? Or I should book the hotel from Delhi only in advance.?

2. And if I am booking a hotel (for the 3rd night), Please suggest me some decent nice hotel which comes in reasonable prices or plz guide me on the prices, I tried looking on TripAdvisor but it confused me even more.?

3. Is there any alcohol shops available there nearby..? Or do i need to carry my stuff along with me? 😛 (don’t worry i M a decent drinker :/)

4. The tents which I will be getting there on triund hill or snowline cafe is good for two or just for one..? And, whats that govt. tents and private tents..? and where should i stay on 2nd night triund hill or snowline cafe(like if i want a better surroundings like where do i get the better view when i will be getting up in the morning?) Or, will I be able to reach snowline by 2nd evening..?

5. I have heard of the “Shiva Cafe” there somewhere, Is it all about boose and stuff or can i also get a nice coffee over there..? and will I be able to visit that on 3rd after finishing my trek and before I go to hotel for the night stay? Or, I should try for it on 4th before leaving in the evening?

6. Last, apart from triund hill trekking, suggest me something good I can do in the remaining time I will be there as I will be leaving on 4th in the evening.

Would really appreciate if you could help me on these few things.. 🙂 I am planning again after this time in march.. Have heard that in march we can experience a great snow fall while we trek.

Thanks Amit

Hi thank you for writing back

for 1. & 2. we suggest you contact Sun & Moon Cafe 09805831447 in Gallu Devi Temple for Hotel thing..and you can stay in any Guest House here too….if you like…here is another contact httpss://www.facebook.com/pages/Sanjeev-Home-Stay/364563650357878 09736303213

for 3. better if you carry own stuff…but please Be A Green Hiker and dispose off plastic glasses or bottles in Trash bins of Magic View Cafe or Best View Cafe and the last one Praveen Tea Stall on trail to Triund Hill or Trash bins of SnowLine Cafe or Triund or if you can bring them back to McLeod then will be much much better 🙂

for 4. as you’ll reach Dharamsala early morning so from Guest House in Gallu Devi Temple or of your Choice there you can start by noon or 10 AM and reach Triund Hill by 4 -5pm and if you reach before 3 or 4 pm then after 1 hour trek you can reach SnowLine Cafe! The tents are two person and they also have 4 person tent! 2 person tent costs around 700*-800* INR (including fixed Charge of Forest Dept 100INR) rest the rate depends on season and tents are private

Talking of views then stay in Triund Hill and for more Close up view of Dhaulahdar and Peace then SnowLine Cafe! Even in SnowLine Cafe you can climb up behind cafe and from top semi flat surface have better views..rest your choice. (Be A Green Hiker 😀 )

5. Shiva Cafe ~ We always avoid Bhagsu (boose and other stuff) you’ll get nice Coffee in Bhagsu in German Bakery right next to Bhagsu Taxi Stand no need to go to further..as of Waterfall now it is just water the Development thing has consumed the Charm and Peace of Waterfall.

6. Beside Triund Hill in short span of time you can venture out up to Naddi Village to have views of Bhimgasturi Pass and Kareri Village and beside Dal Lake (at present not more than a dirty pond – we humans have trashed/developed this Beautiful Lake too!) For Naddi Village you can hire Autorickshaw from McLeodGanj stand!

We Wish you a Safe, Clean and Green Hike! Be A Proud Green Hiker 😀

Really Thanks for the revert.. really appreciate your efforts for guiding people.. 🙂 But, Unfortunately I got some more queries, I called more than 15 hotels in Mcleodganj & Dharamkot for bookings but all i got to know that all mcleodganj is fully packed till October 11th, As there is some taiwan group arrived there for trekking so no hotel available.. and apart from that also I am confused about tents that in dese rush days if i will be able to get the tents also after i reaching triund or snowline as there is gonna be lot of people who would be occupying them.

And, One most weird thing i got to know from one of the hotel guy i called today, that if you don’t get the rooms don’t come or you will be stuck.. and also he suggested that we should have some backup like we should contact some guyz first for trekking and get a trek package or something before coming there, He said there has been some misshapenings so don’t trek alone. he said you will find some groups but don’t follow them till snowline, you may get lost.. please clear this.. that what should we do.. and what we should not..

and also one last thing.. that now i have a little different plan, the dates are same from 2nd to 4th but before i was planning to go on trek on 2nd aftr arriving there but now i got a room for jst 2nd night n vl have to checkout by 3rd.. so On 3rd I will be starting my trek to triund.

So, can you confirm me this one thing that i will surely be able to get a tent when i will be reaching there by 3rd October and will be able to spend the night up there. even after this heavy rush on those days.???

Thanks And yes I will be a green hiker for sure.. 🙂

Hi please contact Sun & Moon Cafe 09805831447 he can arrange at Best as of packages..then this is business trick…we didn’t heard of any happenings as for now….skip McLeodGanj and contact 09805831447 after 7pm and let’s us know how things go…

Hi I am from nurpur (distt kangra) .my friends are coming to meet me on 2 oct. and we are planning a trek to triund on 3 october…This wud be my first trek with my friends.. I need to know my exactly plan.. we want to go triund for trek and then stay in snowline cafe on 3 oct and then next mrng will get back to mcleodganj market and then home by evening… is that enough?

yes that is feasible… 😀

i am planning to triund and snowline trek during the the period 2nd to 4th nov 2014…i want to know is it a good time to visit or not?i am liitle sceptical about the inclement harsh winter weather out there during that period..is it safe to trek during the period..also do u hv some batches of trekkers during that period…pl advice

it will all right…just you need to have warm clothings and will find tea stall and Forest Dept Rest House operational…you may contact +919736820460 for guide if needed

Hi.. I heard thay the trek from triund to lahesh caves is closed due to the weather. Is that so because I plan to do a trek to lahesh caves on 4th oct.

Well the weather is good for now…it is only that after-noon it gets a bit of foggy- with feasibility of rain still we can go up to SnowLineCafe and from there if weather looks all right then can go to Lahesh Cave and come back….but try reaching Lahesh Cave by 3pm so that you can return to SnowLine Cafe or Triund by 6pm

I was thinking of staying at lahesh caves in the night.. Will that be a bad idea?

Hello everyone.

I’ll be travelling from Chandigarh to Dharamshala on 22nd night. Since this is mostly a solo trip for me I was wondering if anyone was interested to join me on the trek to the Snowline (beyond Triund ie). I’ll possibly be doing the trek on 24th or 25th. Cheers!

@Ak_Zep We wish you a Safe, Clean and Green Hike…Be A Proud Green Hiker 😀

don’t forget to Tweet your plan on Twitter with #Triund tag 🙂

for snow depends on weather also carry warm clothings, yes you can come back same day, but for that you need to start early by 8am and Dec first week will be ok, if there will be snow then we suggest guide for Nov to April months (snow season) so you may contact +919736820460 or +919805831447

Hi! first of all appreciate for the unconditional support to fellows like us! Starting from Delhi, Me along with 4 friends are planning to trek snowline on 8-Nov. Just wanted to get some idea on the expected weather condition during that period, will it be snowing? We shall be reaching Mcleodganj on Saturday morning (8th) and planning to start for Delhi on Sunday eve. Do have enough time to go beyond Snowline, what do you advise. Considering you an expert, what are some basic guidelines that we must adhere being a first timer? Will a leather jacket coupled with thermals doable? Eagerly Waiting for your reply.. Many thanks.

we appreciate your feedback..and of trek being first time..so by Sat noon 3pm you may reach Triund Hill and if weather remains favorable on Sunday then start early around 7am for SnowLine Cafe and Laka…and retreat to Triund by noon and climb down for McLeod by eve..but since you guys need to check out on Sunday eve then we suggest you cover only SnowLine Cafe and come back to Triund by 11 am and climb down for McLeod by 11:30 so that you reach ISBT or McLeodGanj by 3-4pm and head back to Delhi on time.. 🙂

Wishing you guys a Safe, Clean and Green Hike, Be A Proud Green Hiker and Share you GreenHiking pic with others as well to inspire them too

I am from Gurgaon and planning to Trek Triund and Snowline between 27th – 30th, accompanied with another friend of mine. We are looking to reach Mcleodganj by 27th afternoon, stay overnight and then leave for Triund early next day i.e. 28th Nov, stay over nite in Triund (tents preferable) and next morning hike to Snowline (29th Nov). We return back to Mcleodganj the same day, return to Delhi on 30th Nov.

Some queries that I would need your advise on:

– Trek Duration? Difficulty level for women?

– weather during Nov end. Clothes/Accessories required?

– Food items/Drinks/Medicines to carry during the trek?

– Availability of Food/Lodging/Tents in Triund? Estimated cost for the same?

– Direct buses/timings from Triund for return to Mcleodganj?

– Any other special place to trek around Triund?

We would be glad to join any group or people who are traveling or are willing to travel during our visit 🙂 Appreciate your advise/replies….God Bless.

Good Day Adil Rasheed, thank you so much for writing back..

– Trek Duration? Difficulty level for women? > for first timer it may take minimum 4 hrs and max 5-6 hrs

– weather during Nov end. Clothes/Accessories required? > Warm jackets will do, with good grip shoes and though no chance of rain still “prevention is better so folding umbrella or light rain poncho will be fine”

– Food items/Drinks/Medicines to carry during the trek? > medicine for cold and headach will do… as of food item there are three cafes on Trail so not worry for food still you can carry light fruits like Oragne for instant fresh energy, skip canned juice (choice)

– Availability of Food/Lodging/Tents in Triund? Estimated cost for the same? > there is one Forest Dept Rest House and two pvt makeshift Rest House cost around 500/ per night-INR*, tent rates keep changing, food costs lunch 120-180/- tea 30/-(rates may vary), you can also have food in Forest Dept Rest House if feel so!

– Direct buses/timings from Triund for return to Mcleodganj? > Direct bus up to Mcleod from Delhi for Triund Hill you can go up to Gallu Devi Temple via taxi and from Gallu Devi Temple on foot trek one side 5 hrs trek

– Any other special place to trek around Triund? > You can go to Naddi and Guna Mata Temple a head Dal Lake

We would be glad to join any group or people who are traveling or are willing to travel during our visit 🙂 > you may find enough hikers/tourists for sure if not many 😀 and if you need special guide sort of then you may call +919736820460 Manu for his terms*! (though no need of guide between (May-Nov) but if weather is snowy like then it is recommended to have one)

Wishing you a Safe, Clean and Green Hike, Be A Proud Green Hiker 🙂

Thank you for all your feedback. How can I contact Forest dept. Rest house if I need a stay? Any contact number or website available?

Regards, Adil

hi they used to book over phone but discontinued since some one tricked them few times…so now for all have to meet them in person in their office at Forest Complex which is behind Park Restaurant which is opposite to Dharamsala General Post Office and Bsnl Exchange and Police station….they hand over receipt of payment as a confirmation of booking which you show in Triund Rest House

hello all i am planning triund with my wife on end of this nov.i would like to know is it safe to trek for couples and would you suggest us to stay at triund or come back same day.

yes it is safe, and if you want to come back same day then start early by 7am and if you want to stay then need to book Rest House of Forest Dept from Forest Complex office situated behind Park Restaurant which is on main road to ISBT and opposite to Police Station and General Post Office Dharamsala…for booking you need to go to office in person….though you can also hire tent in Triund Hill but depends on weather..means if snow than skip just go and come back and if weather in normal than can stay in Tents as well…We Wish you A Safe, Clean and Green Hike, Be A Proud Green Hiker

Thanx for the reply.will look into info you provided.thank you so much. and yes we will be following clean and green hike

Hi, I am planning the triund trek between 21st and 24th dec 2014. Is there a reference/number of a guide you can provide as all internet sources suggest guides in snow. Thanks in advance.

hi you may contact (call or text )9736820460 Manu or (call only) 9805831447 Mr Thapa of Sun & Moon Cafe in Gallu Devi Temple

Thanks a ton for the contacts and prompt reply. regards

Hi everyone, we ( a group of 13 and half , 3 couples a kid of 4 and friends ) are planning to celebrate new year 2015 in mcleodganj , jand need some information to better plan our journey. We would be reaching Mcleodganj via pathankot on 1st of Jan, what is generally the weather condition at that point of time? any chances of snowfall?. On 2nd our plan is to trek till triund, is it doable at that time ? We are looking for a budget accommodation option ( probably a cottage / house of 4-5 rooms should also work. All your help and advice much appreciated !

Hi thank you for writing, well as of snowfall generally starts mid Dec (and some time not even by Dec 31st rare though) and for snow trek depends on amount of first snow fall here are some contacts of guides +919736159152; +919805439165 but for snow trek we recommend Mr Thapa over 09805831447 of the owner of httpss://www.facebook.com/pages/Sun-Moon-Cafe/1424602114424816 (behind Gallu Devi Temple ahead Dharamkot and Mcleod Ganj) he can suggest better on group trek and stay! Have A Safe, Clean and Green Hike, Be A Proud group of Green Hiker.

Hi. We’re a couple planning to trek from Mcleodganj to Triund to Mana and back, from December 11 to 16. We’re looking for company as it may not be safe to go alone. Is anyone interested? We can also go with this company called Himalayan Quest, but are unsure if it is safe to go just on our own with their guide, porter and cook. Please advice or join in. Thanks

Hi, I am leaving Delhi tonight. Should reach Dharamsala by tomorrow. Its a two day plan and i want to trek upto Lahesh caves. The plan is to camp at Triund or Snowline tomorrow night, and then carry on to Lahesh on sunday. Firstly can someone tell me how the weather conditions are?. I am totally winging it, and not very well prepared i must add. Will i find a place to stay or tents during this time of the year? Please add any suggestions or advice. Thanks Arun Augustine

Hi Arun, thank you so much for writing….well as of weather it is colder now…and talking of Lahesh Cave…you can start for Triund Hill after some rest in Dharamsala or Gallu Devi Temple area in Sun & Moon Cafe (behind Temple) and then reach Triund Hill by noon around 3pm and on next day start early for Lahesh Cave or Illaqa (if going alone no guide or no other trekker for Lahesh Cave) and by noon or evening you should reach back Triund Hill

…or if you find SnowLine Cafe which is 2km ahead Triund and 1km before Illaqa and 3km before Lahesh Cave then you can stay in SnowLine Cafe after retreat from Lahesh Cave or Illaqa…if you are trekking light then can carry your bag with and can stay in SnowLine Cafe…..or you can leave your some stuff in Sun & Moon Cafe (it is your choice-we are just suggesting)….you may talk to the owner of Sun & Moon Cafe at mobile here httpss://www.facebook.com/pages/Sun-Moon-Cafe/1424602114424816?rf=1404067443065078 and talk of charges of keeping baggage (if any) rest if you traveling light then no worry…you can even find or get guest house in Gallu Devi Temple area…and of staying in Triund Hill…tents are available over there though not suggested in this month…rest it is your choice….well you can consider the first paragraph as good option…also read this virtual guide https://www.wikihow.com/Trek-to-Triund-Hill

We wish you a Safe, Clean and Green Hike….and don’t forget to share some pics of your trek to Triund Hill.

Best Wishes Triund Hill

Sun and Moon Cafe is behind Gallu Devi Temple, which is 2km from Dharamkot and Dharamkot can be reached from McLeod Ganj Main Square using autorickshaw or taxi…advised is Autorickshaw (70-75 INR)..and from Dharamkot a trek goes from left hand side…backside the Primary School Dharamkot…can be traced easily…will take an hour or more on foot or you can continue on hired autorickshaw (may cost 300 INR from McLeod Ganj) rest in Sun & Moon Cafe and can talk about room there….so if you plan to stay in Guest House in Gallu Devi Temple area….then on Sunday from Triund if you start early for Lahesh Cave or Illaqa…then can retreat up to Gallu Devi Temple by evening (skipping stay in Snowline Cafe and Triund Hill)

hey, we are planning to g oin the month of January….is it ok?

Hi, Thank you so much for writing….and talking of January Triund Trek….depends on level of Snow…and this season chances are of Heavy Snowfall…so not advised…unless one is experienced in Snow Trekking and also Jan to Feb end one needs proper Guide…….Best time to enjoy snow in Triund Hill is between last days of Feb to March end…and by April end most of snow is soaked in by earth…..but if we witness backup snowfall in Feb then you can enjoy snow in Triund Hill by May month…

Best Wishes, Triund Hill

I am leaving on 8th from Delhi ! Same question !

Hi we are from Gurgaon. We are planning a corporate trip starting from 18 night from Gurgaon/Delhi/NCR to McLeod Ganj. On 20th we are planning a trek to Triund and return by same evening. Few info required: Is it possible to come back same day? What is the situation of snow, is it safe to travel, we are group of 30 people, not experienced hikkers Although we have hired a guide for direction n support

Yes it is doable in a day…and since you have guide in hand than no need to worry, just make sure with him that he’s all prepared to cope with snowfall…..and now talking of snow…at present it is more than 2 feet and if it remained sunny for 2-3 days..then there will be not much issue… 🙂

Just do a favor…Be A Proud Group of Green Hikers…wishing you all A Safe, Clean and Green Hike.

I am planning to go Dharamshala 26th Dec – 28th Dec 2014. From whatever I read, Triund trek is something I would not want to miss. Can you please help me plan my trip. I want to cover local places (original plan) as well as Triund trek (plan evloved after reading this blog)

I will be reaching Dharamshala on 26th afternoon and plan to leave for Dalhousie on 28th late evening (where I am joining another trek). Can i do this trek given above schedule?

I have some queries. Would be great help if you can answer them –

1) Is Dec period safe for the trek (due to weather conditions)? 2) What is the difficulty level? 3) What is the route and itenary for the trek? (I heard there are some caves, lake etc enroute) 4) How many days would be required? Can I do it in 1 day (PS – I am not a regular trekker) 5) If more than 1 day, what are accommodation options and their approx charges? Do you have any contact details ? (I have already done my hotel booking as naadi village. But, can cancel it)

Appreciate your response.

Hi, Thank you so much for writing…

1) Is Dec period safe for the trek (due to weather conditions)? > it is safe if accompanied by pro guide and also if you have done some trekking earlier too. 2) What is the difficulty level? > in normal conditions (no snow) it is easy to moderate…but in snow requires great attention. 3) What is the route and itenary for the trek? (I heard there are some caves, lake etc enroute) > lake is in Kareri Lake ahead Kareri Village, and Cave (Lahesh Cave) ahead Triund Hill but not recommended in snow conditions, you can try Triund Hill with guide only. 4) How many days would be required? Can I do it in 1 day (PS – I am not a regular trekker) > Triund can be covered in a day but for Kareri Lake at least 3 days. 5) If more than 1 day, what are accommodation options and their approx charges? Do you have any contact details ? (I have already done my hotel booking as naadi village. But, can cancel it) > You may contact Mr Sonu +9816136355, +919736542849 of Balreh village and Naddi…he can arrange best budget stay and can plan all treks…

Have A Safe, Clean and Green Hike

Hi Admin… Thanks a lot for your response. It was very helpfull. I think it would not be very safe to trek in december end. Will plan the trek some other time.

However, if you can help me plan places that I should visit during my 2 days stay in Dharamshala (hotel is in naddi village) would be great.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks once again 🙂

there is another trekking point…Guna Mata Temple ahead Naddi via Balreh village..and for same you can contact Mr Sonu +9816136355, +919736542849 since he is the resident of Balreh himself…you can cover Temple of site of Guna Mata in 3+3 hours from Naddi..and then there is Maroor Rock Cut Temples by made Pandavas in Kangra area..

I am planning for trek from 3rd feb and want to explore places around it with my friend want to know I have mine own camp can I use that ? Is it safe to travel at that time ? being pahadi I have experience in trekking 😀 Also I want to know where to park my vehicle at base ? Thanks

Hi thank you so much for writing…well talking of first week of Feb month, pretty much depends on snow levels…and since you have tent/camp stuff you can pitch tent if it can bear snow conditions…as of regular times and months you only need to pay 100 INR to Forest Dept as charges…and parking can be done in front of Sun & Moon Cafe behind Gallu Devi Temple…which is ahead Dharamkot and McLeodganj…….just make sure how much is the snow for camping…otherwise you’ll to make it Day trek…like go to Triund enjoy and come back same day…if too much or heavy snow..

Be A Proud Green Hiker….

hi guys i am planing to trek around dec or jan to triund hills. is it safe during this time??

Good day Inderpreet…well talking of trek this month end…the weather is pleasant with sufficient snow to enjoy in Triund Hill….though it appears weather will be good by Dec end…so you come by Dec end…but as of Jan month Fresh snow fall is possible and Snow will close the trail and all the tea stalls and guest house in Triund..so we suggest you try to reach here by Dec end.. 🙂 and try to make it a single day trek.

We Wish You A Safe, Clean and Green Hike…..Be A Proud Green Hiker.

Planning a trek to triund> snow line cafe in the first week of Mar’15, do we really require guide with us or there are necessary indicators on the trail.

Hi…well it depends on level of snowfall in Jan and Feb month….as of now there is around 4 feet of snow in SnowLine Cafe area and more than 4 feet in Laka…so if there will be fresh snow fall in Jan and Feb (which is likely going to be) then we will not recommend Laka and SnowLine Cafe in first week of March 2015…just keep in touch in our https://www.facebook.com/triundhill/ and we’ll update over there about snow and weather during March….as of Triund it will be ok to trek by March 1st week….Best Wishes, Have A Safe, Clean and Green Hike, Be A Proud Green Hiker

Thanks. so you suggest we get a guide along if we plan to move towards snowline in mar? can u provide your email so we can get in touch with you incase we need the guide(please note we are all beginners..and no experience in snow)…. also triund will be a one day trek right…can you suggest any other trail for mar 1st week?

Thank you for your help 🙂

Hi All: I am planning for a round-trip trek from McLeodganj on March 9 – 10, staying the night at the guest house. Any idea, how much snow I should expect in the hiking-path (based on anyone’s past experience), so that I am well prepared with my clothing? Many thanks.

you may expect mild snow…as this season there less snowfall…though you should be prepared with warm clothes….

I am planning for a 2nd trip to triund, This time in Winters in this week from 24th to 26th of January. just wanted to know howz the weather there up on hill? If camping is still open on triund like if i am planning to stay up for a night on triund is it possible..? and are there enough trekkers right now over there as i am visiting with two friends of mine. let me know. any advice.??

regards Amit Mathai

hi..though there is plenty of snow…and tea stall/shops and guest house are operational…and as 24-26 we expect mild snow fall on 22-23 so night camping depends on weather…so we suggest a day hike…start early by 8 to 9 am and up here if you feel the situations ok for night stay,,,then you can stay…else retreat to McLeodganj.

Hi, I’m planning to do the Triund Trek on 6th of Feb. What is the condition there right now? Too much snow? I’ll probably have to do it in a day. Also i’m solo trekker.. any piece of advice you might have for me?

Hi, thanks for writing…as of now it is raining and snow fall in high Dhauladhar…talking of Feb 6th will depend on Fresh Snowfall…though there is plenty of snow…and conditions are good only for a Day Trek…and solo is advised only if you have previous experience of snow trek…the only concern is the last climb of Triund Hill….as snow at that point is thick and slippery at some points…and by Feb 6 it may smooth out..still we suggest if you could join or follow some fellow trekkers….which is very likely that you may or will come across either in Sun & Moon Cafe or Dharamkot …we wish you a clean , green and safe hike…..be a proud green hiker..

Hi, I am planning to trek triund in the 1st-2nd week of april. I would spend around 3days in dharamshala including the trek to triund and snowline. I have planned to start early in the morning and reach triund by afternoon and continue to snowline in the evening. I want to cover both in one day and want to stay the night either at triund or snowline. I want your expert advice on where to have a night halt on the hill. How much would it cost for tent or guest house and what would be best. I have done quite a few treks before and this one is going to be my 1st solo trip. I also want to know whether their is any forest entry fees to be paid to the forest department before the start of the trek. What about washrooms if I stay in the tents. Kindly reply

Hi thanks for writing..and kind words well we recommend night halt in SnowLine Cafe during your Laka trek as if you stay there you will be able to cover Lahesh Cave also which ahead Laka and stay in SnowLine Cafe costs around 600 to 700(may change) INR inside cafe and tent costs aroud 800 INR and food cost is same as in Triund Hill…Rooms of Forest Dept cost 500 INR pre booking needed by visiting their office in person. and no there is no fee for the trek….washrooms are in open : our government has not come up with good washroom even in The Mall Road of Shimla then (except the filthy one in Lakkar Bazar and one way down from Mall Road) we had suggested a Bio Toilet but no one cares…

We wish you A Safe, Clean and Green Hike, Be A Proud Green Hiker

Hey thank you so much for the prompt reply. So its like I start early morning climb triund and continue to laka and lahesh the same day and halt night at snowline, next day morning climb down back to mcleodganj. From triund it will take around 1hr to reach snowline and what about lahesh caves from snowline? How far is lahesh caves from snowline?

it will take another 45 minutes to 1 hour hillwalk from Triund Hill to SnowLine Cafe and 20-30 minutes for Laka/Ilaka and another 30 minutes for Lahesh Cave from Laka / Ilaka…but taking note of good snowfall this season (with intervals) we doubt if Lahesh Cave be easily accessible over thick Glacier on trail a head Laka….so start early for Triund and after some pause head to SnowLine Cafe pause over there and (in SnowLine Cafe you may like to get yourself listed for stay in upon arrival and prior leaving for Laka and Lahesh Cave) head to Laka and upon arriving Laka if you can trace the Red Arrows then head for Lahesh Cave and also do consider thickness of Glacier ahead Laka BUT if you don’t see any Red Arrows then don’t go for Lahesh Cave…since it is very easy to wander off the trail to Lahesh Cave (and things may not be good if it is your first time and you are solo) so if you don’t see Red Arrow mark and “Aum” symbol over a huge boulder (chances are that this very boulder may be covered with Glacier) then from Laka retreat to SnowLine Cafe and climb to the top of Triund Hill the trail goes from back side of SnowLine Cafe..sit up there and enjoy the view of Mighty Dhauladhar…in front North East and BhimGasutri Pass to North South and if you get some company then keep walking up to the original temple site of Kunal Pathri Devi at top point of Triund Hill (make sure you are 2-3 guys) and by evening roll back to SnowLine Cafe and next day to McLeod Ganj….. the cafe owner of SnowLine Cafe can give you a rough idea on trail to temple site of Kunal Pathri Devi (but don’t go alone(if it is your first time)…you can go up to an open meadow few meters uphill backside of SnowLine Cafe………………! “We Wish You A Safe, Clean and Green Hike, Be Good to Mother Nature and She will Take Care of You, Be A Proud Green Hiker” 😀

Thanks a lot for information 🙂

Hi , i am coming for trek this weekend … Could you help me with weather conditions as it has been changed in delhi ?

right now it is clear sky with sun…but not sure how it will fare by eve or noon…pretty uncertain for tomorrow as well…and things may correct after Holi….it is only about rain and hailstorm even if there is any chance…

well here is the update 12:00 pm March 4th, 2015…Dark snow clouds are back…while there is already heavy snowfall..even trail to Triund Hill is under snow…and chances are of more snowfall..plus rain..so you may reconsider your trekking for a week…..

hi it’s rainy weather… :/

Hi, I am planning to trek to Triund in mid-March and would like to stay in the guest house on top of the hill overnight with my travel companion. What is the best way to book it in advance?

hi thanks for writing and about advance booking…well for that you need to visit Forest Complex in person (1-2 day before the hike) they no longer book over phone….and they charge around 500 INR (may change) you may talk here 09805831447 or 09418564767. 09736608767 and make arrangement with them and pay them as per their choice

Ok. Thank you very much for the help. Can you tell me what is the difference between the three phone numbers you listed? Also, would you expect there to be much snow on the hill by mid March? Thanks.

no difference… 🙂 we are not associated with them…they have links with Guest Houses in Dharamkot and Gallu Devi Temple area so…they can be of use of for getting rooms either in McLeodGanj or more peaceful area like Dharamkot and Gallu and also they can send their boys to book room for Triund Hill as well…and as of snow there will be sufficient snow in Triund Hill and plenty a head Triund in SnowLine Cafe and Laka….! Best Wishes, We Wish You A Safe, Clean and Green HIke. Be A Proud Green Hiker

Thanks again! One clarification , will the snow make the trail to Triund difficult and do you expect Snowline and Laka to be reachable in mid March or will there be too much snow? Thank you for all of your help.

Hi. I am planning a trek to Triund on 7th/8th March. I’ll probably be reaching McLeodganj between 1-2 PM on 7th march. I want to know the weather conditions and staying options in Triund (if guest house is open) or Magic View cafe or Best View Cafe. I have return bus ticket from McLeodganj at 7pm on 8th March.

Hi, I am planning a day trek to Triund from Mcleodganj on Thursday 5 March 2015. Is the weather suitable for the trek? Do you recommend trekking during rains. Where can we rent raincoats for the trek? We are a group of beginners.

Hello, We are planning to go to kareri lake and then to triund from April 1 to 4. Can u tell me if there is a direct path from kareri to triund? And also is the path to lasha caves is open?

hi! we are group of 5-6 guys planning our trek to Triund and hopefully to Lahesh cave. We would reach Mcleodganj on 2nd Feb early morning. We plan to start the trek the same morning. I was hoping to get all the information regarding the trek. 1. do we require guide/porters? (first time trekkers in snow) 2. where can we get the tents? 3. can we trek beyond triund during this period? thanks!!

Hi! Me and my brother are planning for a trek to Triund, Lahesh cave and indrahar pass. I am living in Dharamshala for the past three months now but have no idea about the trek path or anything.

How much time will it take to cover all the areas?

I am coming for a trek to Triund this weekend . Could you please update me with a iweather conditons over there ?

Hi we hope you completed your Triund Hill Trek 🙂

heading Triund this weekend. 9-10 May 2015. Any advise on current weather. Any sure way to get the forest guest house pre booked?

Hi weather seems ok for trek….and for guest house booking you personally need to visit their office….alternatively you can hire tents right in Triund Hill from any tea stall and even from Rest House…

Thanks.. I called guest house which they told is booked. Will go for camps then….

2 questions if somebody can answer: – Can it be made in one day – I saw on map that there is a trek from Bhagsu waterfall is it longer, steeper or same?

Thanx Darko

Good day Darko,

– Can it be made in one day > Yes If you start early in the morning, say 6-7am in summer, then you can escape sun rays on trail…and can reach Triund Hill and can cover SnowLine Cafe and further by 2pm and return back by 7pm to McLeod

– I saw on map that there is a trek from Bhagsu waterfall is it longer, steeper or same?….yes it is long and steep plus no refreshment cafe on trail…also sun will be strong on that side…exhausting We wish you a safe, clean and green hike….

I see two trek routes for Triund. Which ones the 9 Km one or the best one? Also need to folow the path where the forest dept guest house is present. Please help with the names of landmark to follow from bus stand to hill top

Hi first you need to reach Gallu Devi Temple ahead Dharamkot Via McLeodGanj (no need to go Bhagsu) from there the trail goes to upward direction from the front of Sun & Moon Cafe…follow this single trail up to Triund Hill

from ISBT reach McLeodGanj and then using cab/auto reach Dharamkot and then on foot to Gallu Devi Temple ….you can hire cab up to Gallu Devi Temple and Sun & Moon Cafe for cab you may call +919805831447

hi, m abhishek, m going to triund hill on 26 of june, is it correct time to go there?

Hi, yes…before monsoon it is all right 🙂

Hi , i am travelling alone to mcleod (Tommorow) and want to trek TRIUND, can you please give an idea about the tents that are available on rent for one night? do i need to hire a tent before starting the trek?

Hi you will get tents in Triund Hill and can be hired from any tea stall in Triund….you don’t need to book tent..you will tent.

Hi admin, We are planning to trek triund on 24th of june 2015, what are things we need to carry as there seems to be some chances of rainng that time around, or we will be getting everything then and there.

Hi you may keep rain poncho handy and cloths as per weather…tents and food will be as usual…. We Wish You All A Safe, Clean and Green Hike, Help Keep Nature Clean and Green with no disturbance to the Serenity of Mother Nature.

hey..!! We are going to trek on 27th..a party of 3 …its going to be my first trekking experience…Kindly advice on all the must have logistics required before starting the trek.

Hi you can go on your own, tents and food will be available, carry cloths as per weather and do keep rain ponchos handy in case of mild rain…and do prefer fresh fruits in place of Red Bull and caned juice..as fruit shells won’t do any damage unlike empty cans and bottles…We Wish You A Safe, Clean and Green Hike

Is it possible to camp in Triund?

yes……though rain may be of concern but no need to worry

Are tents available for renting? where should I get those from?

you can hire tents from any tea stall in Triund Hill or Rest House of Triund…rates may vary due to tourist season

Hi. I’m planning a trip to dharamshala and want to trek to triund on 16september and stay overnight. My queries are as below: 1. Is there anywhere we can keep our luggage just before we start the trek? We will be reaching Dharamshala on 15 and will be checking out on 16, so will need somewhere to keep our luggage. 2. Can we rent tents at the time of the trek? Or do we need to book in advance online? 3. Is a guide necessary?

Hoping for a reply soon. Thanks!

1. Is there anywhere we can keep our luggage just before we start the trek? We will be reaching Dharamshala on 15 and will be checking out on 16, so will need somewhere to keep our luggage. > You may try out at Sun & Moon Cafe or Sagar Cottage just above the cafe…and these two points are on starting point of Triund Hill trail….usually they don’t keep but you can talk and agree with some fee sort of thing. Sun & Moon Cafe and Sagar Cottage are at Gallu Devi Temple area after Dharamkot and McLeodGanj….you can reach there either by Cab or Auto or even trek if your luggage is not that heavy…and consult about this point here 9805831447

2. Can we rent tents at the time of the trek? Or do we need to book in advance online? > You’ll get tents and sleeping bag on spot at Triund Hill… beside Forest Dept there are 5 tea stalls that provide tent and accomodation…for tents no need of booking but it is also good if you reach there on time.

3. Is a guide necessary? > If you are planning only Triund Hill and SnowLine Cafe..then you don’t need guide, least there is heavy Snowfall…all you need is careful eyes and stepping on the inner side of the trek…this is a easy trail for seasoned and moderate for new ones….so no chance of bad thing…all you need to avoid is Over Confidence and standing on edges for photo shoot….even a careless attitude and willful act of going off trail can do damage to some experienced one. The trail visibility is 100% clear…so no chance of getting “Lost” again unless one wishfully goes off trail.

Thanks for writing and We Wish You A Safe, Clean and Green Hike…Help Keep Mother Nature Clean.

Though if you feel the need of guide you may contact here +919736159152; +919805439165 OR +919805831447, +919736482880, +919736303213, +919736542849, 88941 87613, 9418564767. 09736608767

I’m planning to do a trek up to Snowline Cafe on April 30th/May 1st. At first I was looking for trekking organizers, but as I’m doing a solo trek, I think I will go by myself. I wanted to check a couple of things:

1. I plan to start around 10 AM and be up at Triund by 4 (max). Is this doable? 2. Is there any chance that I may not find a tent to rent once I’m up there? Can I pre-book the tent by calling someone? Also, can someone guide me on how to pitch it in case I don’t know it well enough? 3. I plan to wake up early (6/7 AM) on May 1st and head to Snowline and then head back to McLeodganj. Is it better to go all the way to Snowline on the first day itself and camp there? I would like to do that if the views are much better than from Triund and there are better chances of getting a tent,

I am planning Triund Trek in the month of May, can you please share the numbers of a local guide who can provide tent, food and stay for a day in Triund.

Hi, I am planning to be at Dharamshala between 20-23 August, 2016. Will it be raining over there during August, If so, will it be difficult to reach Triund. I am a solo traveler looking for some guidance to spend some quality time at Dharamshala and Triund.

In the year 1965, after taking the Pre- University exam, I went to Dharamsala to attend the Youth Leadership Camp organized by Punjab University at Govt. College, Dharamsala. During my stay at Dharamsala, we went to Truind and stayed in the Guest House and spent the night there. The next day we trekked to the snow line at the height of 14000 to 15000 feet. I am over 65 now but remember the time spent at Truind and the snow line.

i know it is low season in the monsoon, but we want to trek triud from baghsu.

should we get a tent in Bagshu and carry it up? Im not sure we can rent a tent and a mat up there in triund?

Hello Hi ! I am planning a trek to Triund on start of December I’m solo traveler..so I need what items I carry and how much cost of tents and whats the temperature …in December.

hey guys…

we are three Malaysians in our late 60s, reasonably fit & and have drawn up plans to do a day trek up Triund Jan. 30, 2017.

We think of spending 3 nights in all in McLeod Ganji, b4 heading to Bir Billing for paragliding, etc.

In Mc Leod Ganji, what do you think of Hotel Tibet or Honey & Spice Hotel?

Any advice from you guys is most welcome…tanx.

hello… Day hike by Jan 30th is feasible but is dependent on weather of 30th….and there will be fresh snowfall by Jan mid then do look out for guided hike…otherwise no need…just start early so that you can go on your own pace and reach the campsite and back by evening….and if you need guides then check with any numbers provided in the URL of Book Now tab of our facebook page..

as of hotel…both are ok, rest it is your choice Honey and Spice Delux suite is very common and should be 500 INR instead of 700+ so if that is ok with you then Honey and Spice all right…other wise try out Hotel Tibet and there is one more https://hotellhasa.in …

Billing paragliding sounds good

I am a solo traveler and planning to visit Triund in Nov Ist week. Please suggest itinerary and lodging details. You may call at 9818555001

1. Is it possible/safe to trek to Triund with the snowfall? Also, will camping be a problem in the snow? >> Camping is feasible only in guest house rooms…as of tents…it will too cold to camp out..

2. Even if it is snowing, is a day trek possible in the harsh winter? >> If weather is clear with sun shine then a guided day hike will be feasible.

3. I’m aware that this trek is an easy to moderate trek but how difficult will the trek be in the snow? >> not that difficult but we recommend guides for snow hike and trek

hi….i am plannning ot go on triund trek at this end of december. is it open now or not? And how can i approach for that.

Dear Admin,

We are 2 couples, planning to visit McLeodganj & near by area. We are planning to reach McLeodganj on 30th Dec morning. This is what we have planned. Please suggest if needs any modification for betterment/adventure/safety/enjoyment.

30 Dec: reach McLeodganj, freshen up in hotel, leave for bir (para-gliding), come back by evening, local sight seeing (plz suggest places that really mean). Stay overnight in hotel (plz suggest good/safe hotel). 31 Dec: check out hotel early morning after break fast, keep luggage in hotel & start trekking for triund. Please suggest if we must halt somewhere in between &/or hike up to the hill. Also please suggest what is preferred guest house/tent. Any links/no for guest house/tents pre booking. Stay overnight, enjoy bon-fire. 01 Jan: Leave early morning for McLeodganj, catch the bus for Chandigarh. Board another bus for Delhi around 6 PM 02 Jan: Back to hell/Cell/office :-(. But definitely with plenty rejoicing & happy memories.

Looking forward for quick reply as this is gonna be vital for our trip decision.

Hi, I am planning to reach mcleodganj by 31st dec evening 67pm, I have already booked my stay in dharmkot and plan to do triund trek on 1st Jan same day or next day 2nd jan return.

please suggest if I should do same day / next day return triund. I have to report to Dalhousie for another trek on 02nd Jan evening.

We r planning to trek triund hill feb last week. And can i know the climatic conditions and is it the good time?

feb last week is good for quick day hike and camping is dependent on the level of snowfall

Yeah I done it it was nice trip …

Can we start trek in early morning and reach back mcleodganj the same evening ?

yes…but right now it is not recommended to hike…as raining with snow

Is Triund Trek closed as of now ???

as now Camping to Triund campsite is not feasible due to cold….still you can go for guided (if heavy snow on trail) and without guide if no or very less snow….

Would it be possible to trek by mid February, on 17th to be exact? What is the charge for a guide in case I would need one?

Mid Feb is possible, but still weather plays most….guide charges normally start from 500/* per person a day (** prices may vary as per season and condition of trail) but do consider if there is no fresh snowfall during second week of Feb…then you can check the conditions and can go on your own…for a day hike

hi…thanks for writing…well if you wish you camp in Snowline Cafe or more farther in Lahesh Cave (which is another 1-2 hours climb from SnowLine Cafe, the second campground of Triund Hill, after Triund.

Hi admin. I am planning for a trek in the second week of march. Since i am a first timer can u please brief me about the weather, things to consider for triund trekk. Is it safe to take the trekk without a guide or do we need to take one?

Hello, thank you for writing… mid June is alright….this time kind of mix weather (unpredictable), we can’t say anything about agency budgets…you can call any number from URL inside our https://www.facebook.com/triundhill/ Book Now tab…and check in with any if sounds reasonable…

It so kind of you to keep answering queries of traveller since 2014. Its so great! I read almost complete trail. As I am planning a Solo trip, I had many questions, half of which this long conversation cleared up.

Well still I do have some 1. Are there any Cloak rooms facilities if I don’t wish to carry whole luggage with me on trek? 2.Which is much safer to stay for solo female, at snowline or triund hill tents? 3. Toilet facilities when traveller take tent on rent from tea shops? 4. Do it gets really crowdy during Mid June (concern for pre-bookings of tent)? 5. Are tents okay if it rains?

Thanks in advance. You are Humble!

and Yes I will take care of my litter! 🙂

Thank you, We Wish You A Safe, Clean and Green Hike

1. Are there any Cloak rooms facilities if I don’t wish to carry whole luggage with me on trek? >> No as of now no such facility..though you can request your guest house owner or hotel owner to safe keep your luggage…(keep money and other similar important things on hand)

2.Which is much safer to stay for solo female, at snowline or triund hill tents? >> SnowLine Cafe is ok too…still camping near Forest Rest House will be good for first time solo hikers.

3. Toilet facilities when traveller take tent on rent from tea shops? >> again 🙁 for this…there are toilets but no regular water supply, so they are almost of no use. You will have to rise up early for this or seek the company of girls group.

4. Do it gets really crowdy during Mid June (concern for pre-bookings of tent)? >> Yes also depends on weather…still avoid weekend if possible. (If You want to hire tent in advance then may contact Manu from our list on sub-page of Triund page plus there are other references as well)

5. Are tents okay if it rains? >> Ok for mild rain. Rest we can’t say about weather as humans have already disturbed, Mother Nature to extreme!

Hi, Where we need to apply for the pre booking of tent? Should we have to go forest department office of booking?

Is there any limit of people can stay with tent in Triund?

Would it be safe to camp at night as this wud be mostly mid of the week and I am assuming less crowded ? We can stay in forest rest house at night as well, but my prime concern is safety during the trek, if we do it without a group just the two of us. Would the checkpoints/small shops be open at that time? Please advice and suggest. Thanks

Hi anyone interested in joining me for trying trek on 23rd Feb 2018. Solo hiker.

We are planning it on 24th Feb, needed some details as our travel agent is adamant that the trek will remain close. We wanted to trek and stay overnight in camp.

Do let me know if you have the detail.

Tell me if I can visit triund in june

Yes you can

Hi. I am planning for solo trip in this month(May). Dates are 20-25. It would really help if you can just guide me for this. My email ID is [email protected] .

What kind of help do you need

Please contact back message on https://www.facebook.com/triundhill/

Hi! This is such a wonderful forum and hats off to you for keeping it alive. So much information!!

My friend and I, and our 2 daughters (12 and 14 years) are planning the Triund trek on the 29th of Sept.

1) What is the kind of weather we can expect? We had initially planned for 1st September but were advised against it.

2) With 2 kids, we are a little sceptical about staying in tents. So prefer to book the rest house in Triund. But we want to do snowline and the glacier as well. Is it possible to leave early morning from Dharamkot, go up till the glacier, and come back to the triund rest house by the evening?

We just did the Kheerganga trek in June – up and down the same day. It was tiring but we managed. Will we manage this? Or do you suggest that we do snowline and glacier on the next day and return to dharamkot from there?

3) We want to take a guide/ Porter. I know the trail is marked but it helps to have someone along to carry the bags and show us the way. If we stay the night on the top, what will the porter do? Could you please share some numbers for porters/ guides.

Thanks so much. Hope to hear from you soon.

1) > by Sep end weather will be good, it is supposed to be.

2) > for online booking of Rest House try here > https://himachalecotourism.org/wpbooking_service/frh-triund/ > Yes you can return to Dharamkot same day if you start for Laka early in the morning.

3) > here is the contact of Manu one of our reliable person 9805439165

Is it true that camping in Triund is closed? If yes, then when it will resume?

this page looks really promising.

We are a group of 3 friends intending to trek triund on 25th Feb, 2019. But we have been getting mixed opinions about the trek, as our travel agent said that the trek will be closed and camping wont be possible, whereas other few have said we can trek and camp on the mentioned dates.

Please guide us, whether we can trek and camp on 25th Feb, 2019? If so, would we need a guide?

Will really appreciate the help.

Trekking on Feb month is completely dependent on the level of snow fall…if there is less or no snow on trails then, it is possible to hike and stay overnight…else we will have to wait till March end. As of guide…if there is mild snow on trails, then you need one guide. With snow on trails even an easy trails can become dangerous.

Hello admin, I am planning for the trek on 20th of may, I would like to know if trek can be complete in one day as its my frist trek or do you suggest an overnight stay . In case stay can you help me with food options and tent rental.

It is one of the easiest trail….even if you instruct a child just to follow the beaten trail and not take any shortcuts, he/she will reach the first campsite with ease. Plus there are many many tea stall all along the trek. All one need is to be careful and not pose for selfies or photographs on trail edges. You can start the trek as soon by 8 or 9 am from Gallu Devi Temple and reach after 3-4 hours of walk….stay there for an hour or so and return to Mcleod with ease. Plenty of day time in summer. If you want to stay then need to book tents in advance and we can help with that, incase you want to stay, but now a days we don’t recommend overnight stay, as the place is crowded and has no toilet room facility. If you love to camp over night, then we have some of the best and secluded trekking destinations outside Dharamsala area…all you need is to tag some friend with self, means at least two person for night camp and trek. For more information you can contact us at [email protected] We Wish you a Safe, Clean and Green Hike

Thanks for the detailed information

Thank you sir for stopping by and appreciating :), We wish you a safe, clean and green hike, where you go out in Nature.

How far is the forest guest house at Triund from the Triund trail end.

Well there are three near the trail end and they are with in 100 meters of range towards north and one is towards south east but around 300 to 500 meters of distance.

Hello, you sure have good information and that too for free. Anyway, can we trek to Triund in January? What is the condition of Triund trek? Can we go without guide or do we need to hire a guide? Also if you provide Triund camping then what are the packages for the group of 7 and for the solo trekker! Actually, I am thinking of coming for Triund trek in January 2021 with my college friends and we all are students of Delhi University! Please reply with above mentioned queries…thank you!

hey, goede dag! hoe is het tegenwoordig om in Triudn Hill te zijn

This has all of the information, I needed to clear my doubts about this trek. Now I will go for the day hike to Triund during my stay at Mcleod. I will be flying in to India and then Mcleodganj in the last week of February 2022. I hope to meet you as well, if you don’t mind ?

Thanks for the appreciation and you are most welcome anytime. We wish you a safe, clean and green hike.

Thanks a lot, your guidance helped me in concluding my first ever solo trek to Triund and Kareri lake.

Actually we are planning our trek to triund in coming weekend of December 2023 and may be the Christmas, so do we need guide during that period and what about snow and weather all like that. Also can you suggest about stay as well. Will a home stay be good or some hotel?

Triund Trek: All You Need to Know

Trekking has always been one of those activities that my non-pathetic alter ego has yearned for. But rarely does it get an opportunity to indulge in the same. The regular readers will be aware of the first-ever trek of any value or consequence done for this blog, the Valley of Flowers .

After more than two years, I was again back in the Himalayas and as I’d mentioned in the previous post, McLeod Ganj spoiled us with food . So, to overcome the socialist guilt of excessive consumption, I decided to undertake the Triund Trek the next day along with Su Ko who has always been a bigger sinner of gluttony.

We did have a bigger than usual breakfast at the hotel in McLeod Ganj but I think it was fair because we were going to have a tough time. We first moved from McLeod Ganj to Dharamkot by hiring an auto rickshaw. It is a smaller settlement barely a couple of KMs away and it is better to take some vehicle to this point to save time. At this point, the real trek starts and it is 7KMs from here to the peak of Triund, a distance I rarely walk at one go even on the plains.

The first few yards of the trek are not that difficult. The ambiance was not lush green like the monsoons but had a more demure green look with occasional reddish hues of the autumn. The moon was visible even in the broad daylight due to the clear and unpolluted sky. We occasionally came across other trekkers, small settlements and mini caravans of the locals with solitary donkeys.

One particular view was especially attracted my attention. It was a small plot of terrace cultivation that could be seen from a distance. There was also a steep trail leading towards it and there was also a small hut and I wondered how great it would be to live such a secluded existence. As we moved on, that particular plot kept becoming clearer and after a couple of tiring hours, I suddenly noticed that we’ve reached a higher spot than the plot in question.

The progress was slow and tedious. Years of lethargic urban lifestyle was showing its colours. The sun was warm but the shades were chilly and the lone water bottle was quickly getting empty. But with every turn the Dhauladhars became clearer with vibrant fall colours.

From Triund it is possible to move higher up to certain other locations and in fact it is one of the ancient routes connecting Kangra with Chamba. But the popular day trek for dummies is supposed to end here itself. We were tired, famished and sleepy. We asked one of the shopkeepers if we can get anything to eat, he offered us Maggi and Gatorade and we eagerly lapped up this triumph of globalization. We waited for an hour but the fog refused to go away and so the pseudo aerial shots that I fantasized about were never possible.

While coming down I suddenly saw a goat. After a few steps, I saw a couple more and finally I noticed an entire herd of mountain goats. I always knew that the goats are capable of good balancing acts. The first-ever circus I ever visited during my childhood had a goat walking on wire. But it was impressive seeing so many of them swarming the steep mountain and soon I realized that they were not alone. There was a shepherd guiding them but we only heard his voice. But we did see a shepherd dog keeping a close eye on them. I must confess that this was the most stately dog I have even seen in my life.

While coming back, we stopped for tea at the midpoint. There was a small house cum shop and also a small temple. There we found a lonely British guy who called himself Garry. Apparently, he has been coming to India for almost a couple of decades. He works for a few months, saves money and rushes to India. And he was planning to spend that night at that shack in the midst of nowhere. This is how the mountains seduce people! Anyways, the last leg of the trek was eventless and I just got a few photographs clicked with silly poses to be used as display pics in various social media profiles.

The Dharamshala sojourn ends basically with this trek. You can read the guide below for complete information on Triund Trek. On the other hand, if you need more information on Dharamshala including what to do and where to eat, read this guide on Dharamshala .

Triund Trek: A Complete Guide

Where exactly is the triund trek located.

Triund is a popular day trek near McLeodganj (Dharamshala). However, serious trekkers can also go beyond Triund Top to Indrahar Pass and then cross over to Chamba District.

How long is the Trek?

Triund is around 9 kms from McLeod Ganj. You can save time by hiring an auto rickshaw to Dharamkot and then trekking the final 7 kms.

Can we camp atop Triund?

Back in 2012-2013 when I visited this area for the first time, both food and tents were easily available at the top. However, in order to counter littering and other environmental issues, camping was banned at Triund Top !

So, as of now, as far as I understand, Triund camping is not possible and you need to start early in the morning and come back to Dharamkot or McLeodganj before it is dark to be safe.

Any Alternative Camping Site?

I am not completely sure about it but as far as I know, you can go ahead of Triund and camp near Snowline . It is a point around 30 mins ahead of Triund, on the way to Indrahar Pass. In the good old days, there used to be one guy running a shack turned cafe turned camping site here. Not sure if he is still there!

So, what exactly is this Indrahar Pass?

Indrahar Pass is a 4300-meter high mountain pass connecting Kangra and Chamba districts. You will need multiple days for this and the route goes through Triund, SNoiwline, Laqa Got, and Lahesh Caves before finally reaching Indrahar Pass. People generally camp at SNowline and then the Cave. I once made a failed attempt to Indrahar . Hopefully, I will complete it someday.

How much time does it take?

The ascent should take 4-5 hours depending on your physical ability. The descent will be faster. In any case, you will have to spend one whole day. Start early in the morning and try to come back before it’s too dark to be on the safer side.

What are the prerequisites for the trek?

It is one of the easy to moderate treks you will find in the Himalayas. But if you are not a regular trekker, make sure that you’re physically fit enough. Also, carry warm cloths and water with you. Earlier, there used to be shacks offering food along the route and at the top too. After the camping ban, I am not fully sure about that.

What is the Best time for Triund Trek?

It can be done throughout the year. Try the spring or early summer for the best colours. I did it once in November and once in October and they were comfortable too. But the extreme winter will be more challenging with low temperature and fog but people try it in Jan-Feb too in order to witness snow.

Guides for Triund Trek

You generally can do it yourself as the trail is well-marked. But if you must take one just inquire the travel agents in McLeod Ganj .

Amazing post. Beautiful photos.

Thanks for dropping by Rupam

Lovely Images.

I have been to Mcleo and Dharamkot two time, this time I am planning to trek Triund in this may month and I am alone. Can you tell me from your experience would it be safe to trek Triund alone?

Thanks for dropping by… it should be fine even if you go alone if you are physically fit… it gets a bit hectic towards the last few yards… carry some water…

Very good post. I myself visited Triund and trekked further ahead to Ilaqa Snow line. It was an awesome experience. Your photos look terrific especially the clear sky. When I visited it was overcast and bit gloomy an absolute nightmare for photography. I liked your formatting especially the FAQs and will definitely imbibe it in my forthcoming travelogues including Triund with your kind permission 🙂 Of course I won’t copy the content and anyway I started from Naddi.

Hey! How about trekking at this time? Do you think monsoons will ruin t or what? Are there any arrangements to stay uphill?

I think it is fine… it is one of the easier treks… just get raincoats and shoes with good grip…

Ideally you can come back from Triund on the same day… but if you want to stay up there, I think there is a Forest guest house and some other private provisions too…

Triund Trek is open most of the year, except for January and February, when heavy snow sometimes closes the trail. The best times to trek to Triund are generally regarded as the summer months of April, May, and June, and the post-monsoon months of September and October. The weather is pleasant during these months, making them perfect for camping and hiking.

The monsoon season lasts from July to August, and hiking is not recommended during this period as the trail becomes slippery and dangerous. These months, however, offer the most gorgeous scenery, with lush green meadows and a variety of flowers and hues blooming.

The winter months of November through January are typically avoided because of the intense weather and significant snowfall. Trekking is quite risky and requires expert knowledge, appropriate gear, and guides during these winter months.

The hike provides some of the most stunning views of the Rifle Horn, Moon Peak, Arthur's Seat, and the intimidating Dhauladhar range. The trek's gorgeous forest segment leaves an indelible impression on every visitor, making it popular among nature and adventure enthusiasts of all ages. The sunset beauty is undoubtedly the most memorable aspect of the trek, attracting trekkers to stay overnight. Triund also serves as a gateway to numerous other trekking attractions, including the snow line, the Lakha Cave, and the Indrahar Pass.

McLeodganj – Triund

What is there in McLeodgunj?

McLeodgunj is in hill station in Himachal Pradesh at 6,831 feet. It has beautiful mountain ranges and also has falls. Its an amazing place if there is no crowd but unfortunately it attracts a lot of tourists on weekend specially from Chandigarh . So plan a trip such that it does not coincide with any holiday else you can actually witness traffic jams in McLeodgunj.

A 9 km tedious trek from McLeodgunj leads to Triund ( its the place to be ). Triund is a plateau and has a beautiful view. There are two small shops and one government guest house on Triund. You can also trek further and go to glacial trek visiting Indrahaar pass. Trekking is moderate to easy, so even if you are fledgling in trekking, you can do it on your own.

Well, if your aim is to stay in McLeodgunj then you can go anytime, but if you are planning to go to Triund then you should plan to travel during June-July or Oct- Nov. We had went to Triund trek in July ( though a lot of people are hesitant as it rains a lot) , but luckily it didn’t rain the day we trekked. If its raining then do skip the plan as it can be dangerous. July was very hot so we were almost roasted by the time we reached, but the weather on the top was amazing.

How to reach McLeodgunj/ Triund?

From Delhi there are many volvo buses available that goes to Dharamshala and then Mcleodgunj that take around 10hrs to reach Mcleodgunj. From McLeodgunj buses leave during afternoon/evening to reach Delhi early morning.

Triund trek takes about 4 hrs(one way), depending on your speed ( its a hilly terrain).

Where to stay in McLeodgunj/ Triund?

If you want to do a day trek and come back to base again then I would recommend that you take hotel in Bhagsunath near McLeodgunj as it will be less crowded. They vary in their prices from 400 Rs to 4000 Rs. If you are going during weekend and its the tourist season then try and get a room booked in advance as this place gets overcrowded.

If you want to camp in Triund then there is only one government guest house in Triund which can be booked from Dharamsala ( place before McLeodgunj) and there are several private camping people which can be reached in Mcleodgunj. You can also ask for the govt. rest house when you reach, if rooms are vacant they will allow you(but don’t take the chance). Its an amazing experience to spend so if possible then try to stay a night at Triund.

What places to visit in McLeodgunj/ Triund?

The whole USP of the trip is Triund, so if you are going for this trek only then you have covered everything but still there are few places which you can visit.

Dal Lake : The route to Dal from the forest is very nice. It is better to ask the directions before venturing into the forest. Lake is small but its serene.

Bhagsunath Falls : It is a km walk from McLeodgunj, it was raining when we reached the falls so it was amazing to stay there and eat maggi in a small shop.

Dharamkot : Its full of restaurants, unlike McLeodgunj it has more foreigners and more foreigners owned restaurants.

Glacier : Above Triund ( a trek) there is Glacier, though we didn’t get the opportunity to visit it but its very beautiful and should be visited.

Can you trek to Triund with kids?

At Triund, a couple had come with their two kids, so its not impossible to trek with kids. There are people in McLeodgunj which carry kids in back baskets to the top.

Our experience of McLeodgunj/ Triund.

We has travelled to McLeodgunj in July, for three days, which we think were sufficient. Our main aim was to do the Triund trek, which took us about 4-5 hrs uphill and 3 hrs downhill. You need some food, water, sports shoes, sunscreen (sun can be very harsh) and camera and you are good to go.We hadn’t book the government guest house and also we were not prepared for camp, so we had to return the same day. Though we regret that we couldn’t spend a night there but the weather( it was drizzling) filled up for the thing that we missed. Though we took many pictures, but they can’t justify the beauty of Triund, it is a Shangri La in true terms.

The only thing which we didn’t like there was that it got very crowded on the weekend and that is when we decided to come back. We found Dharamkot to be so much quieter and calmer than McLeodgunj was. But still McLeodgunj is a must visit place and Triund a must do trek.

McLeod Ganj

It has beautiful mountain ranges and also has falls. Its an amazing place if there is no crowd but unfortunately it attracts a lot of tourists on weekend specially from Chandigarh. So plan a trip such that it does not coincide with any holiday else you can actually witness traffic jams in McLeodgunj.

The route to Dal from the forest is very nice. It is better to ask the directions before venturing into the forest. Lake is small but its serene.

Bhagsunath Falls

It was raining when we reached the falls so it was amazing to stay there and eat maggi in a small shop.

Its full of restaurants, unlike McLeodgunj it has more foreigners and more foreigners owned restaurants.

Our main aim was to do the Triund trek, which took us about 4-5 hrs uphill and 3 hrs downhill.

Safety tips for the trek

Embarking on the Triund trek in the Dhauladhar Range near McLeod Ganj is an exhilarating adventure, but ensuring your safety is paramount. Here are essential safety tips to keep in mind for a secure and enjoyable trek:

Check Weather Conditions: Before you start your trek, check the weather forecast. Triund experiences varying weather conditions, and being prepared for any changes will enhance your safety.
Physical Preparation: Ensure you are physically fit for the trek. Triund is a moderate trek, but being in good physical condition will make the journey more enjoyable and reduce the risk of exhaustion.
Inform Others: Inform someone about your trekking plans, including your expected return time. In case of unforeseen circumstances, having someone aware of your itinerary is crucial for prompt assistance.
Carry Essential Gear: Pack wisely with essentials such as a sturdy pair of trekking shoes, warm clothing, rain gear, a first aid kit, and a well-equipped backpack. The right gear enhances your comfort and safety on the trail.
Stay Hydrated and Nourished: Carry an ample supply of water and energy-packed snacks. Staying hydrated and well-nourished is vital for maintaining energy levels during the trek.
Start Early, Return Early: Begin your trek early in the day to allow sufficient time for the ascent and descent. It ensures you reach Triund before dark and minimizes the risk of navigating the trail in low visibility.
Follow Marked Trails: Stick to the marked trekking trail to avoid getting lost. Triund is a well-defined path, but deviating from the trail can lead to challenging terrain.
Acclimatization: If you’re arriving from lower altitudes, take some time to acclimatize to the higher elevation. This reduces the risk of altitude-related issues.
Respect Nature: Practice responsible trekking by not littering and respecting the local flora and fauna. Leave no trace behind and contribute to the preservation of the natural environment.
Emergency Contacts: Carry emergency contact information, including local authorities, medical facilities, and your personal contacts. In case of emergencies, quick access to help is crucial.
Stay Informed: Keep yourself informed about the trail conditions and any recent changes. Local authorities or fellow trekkers can provide valuable updates.
Altitude Sickness Awareness: Be aware of the symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. If you experience severe symptoms, descend to lower altitudes and seek medical attention if needed.

Remember, safety is a shared responsibility, and by adhering to these tips, you’ll not only safeguard yourself but also contribute to a positive and secure trekking experience for everyone on the Triund trail.

So without further ado, let's dive into the world of Triund Trekking!

Triund Trek Package

Triund Trek Package includes dinner breakfast expert guide dome tent sleeping bag mattress trek starts from Gallu Temple and return from Bhagsu Waterfall amazing view of dhauladhar range snow cap mountain of himalayas

If you are a beginner, then find an expert guide or an experienced person. It will help you in safely completing. Only an expert guide can explain the latest guidelines issued by the government. For example, the government banned night camping at hill to maintain eco-balance. So the only option left is guest houses under the forest department.

Before planning for this trek, start working on your strength and eat healthy food. Check whether your body is flexible enough to accept the changes. Develop an environment of trekking at your home and practice daily. It will work as a prevention from possible injury.

Comfort comes first when it comes to trekking to hill. Wearing comfortable shoes helps in completing the trek easily. Change your shoes immediately if you feel any discomfort that can not be avoidable. Avoid shoes that can cause blisters.

Commonly, we forget to keep our favorite pair of shocks while backpacking. You are committing a mistake if you think comfortable shoes are enough to complete. So once you finalize the trekking shoe, pair up the right shocks with them. Check the material like fabric and necessary properties such as sweatproof and waterproof etc.

It is obvious that for an exciting trek, willpower and leg strength play a major role. Add bench press, squats, and other strength-building exercises to your daily schedule. Apart from leg strength, start working on willpower. Once you develop these elements, the Trek will become an exaggerating experience for you.

Every doctor suggests that walking is beneficial for our health. It keeps us physically fit and prepares us to map paths on the trek. Once you are a pro at walking, start practicing walking harder for trek. Develop an environment like Trek and become an excellent trekker.

If you think walking, exercising, and determination are enough, then let me tell you it is not. You will not get a complete idea of how trekking feels like. Whenever you practice walking, carry a backpack filled with the necessary trek items. Check how much weight you can lift comfortably.

Also, choose a backpack whose straps you can easily adjust while walking. After training, you will get used to carrying a backpack.

The use of lightweight walking poles while walking reduces pressure on your legs and thighs. It works as an additional leg that distributes the weight of the entire body. Apart from this, it has multiple uses, For example, keeping aside the vegetation and many others.

Water is the basic need of the human body. We have always been taught by our elders that keep water with ourselves. Trek drains all your energy and demands the correct fluid level in the body. Climbing up the hill results in increased breath, loss of fluid, and increased heartbeat. So, drinking the right amount of fluid helps in balancing all of the above results. Due to lifestyle changes, we forget to take enough water throughout the day. So keep your body hydrated by sipping a small amount of water at different time intervals throughout the day.

Your eating habits determine how long you will go. Your body demands more food when it comes to trekking up the hill. Practice eating a small and healthy meal at different points of the day. The best options to take on the trek are fruits that help in increasing your energy level. Avoid eating fried snacks and other unhealthy food items.

Fitness is the key to win against challenges that we encounter throughout the trek. You have to invest your valuable time and energy to reach the trekking point, and fitness makes it easier for you. Fitness allows you to squeeze out every drop of happiness and joy. All the above tips will help you in getting a lifetime trekking experience.

Cancellation and Refund Policy:

If cancellation is initiated 10days before the trek date, a full refund will be processed except for transaction charges. If cancellation is initiated 9th to 3 days before the trek, 80% amount will be processed for a refund. If cancellation is initiated between 3 days to 0 days before the trek, no refund will be processed.

For more query email us at info[at]triund-trek.com

Disclaimer:

The relies on good weather conditions. There may be circumstances when we need to cancel due to bad weather conditions or unavoidable circumstances without any advance notice.

Different Meals Option at Hill Top

It is not possible to get many options in food at Triund hilltop. It takes a lot of effort to set up a restaurant and small tea stall on the hilltop. So the limited food shops you will get there sell at a higher cost. It is better to carry your food, energy-boosting fruits, and water to avoid dehydration. Keeping your water bottle helps in saving mountains from plastic waste. Also, bring back your plastic-waste with you in your backpack. Do not forget your responsibility towards mother Earth.

WIll the ATM be Available or Not?

Availability of ATMs is possible till Mcleodganj only. So keep the necessary cash while trekking up the hill.

Do We Get Mobile Signals at Trek?

You will enjoy full network coverage till Mcleodganj. Once you start the hilltop, you will feel some disturbance in the mobile connection. The motto of this Trek is to experience peace for a while. It is possible only when you will get disconnection from your mobile phone. You will be in the moment. Still, if you want to enjoy mobile connections, BSNL offers the best services.

Hospital: Everything that challenges you comes with a negative side too. No doubt trekking gives us endless joy, it may turn into an emergency if not done with care. Dharamshala has taken all the measures to offer you a safe journey, still, every situation is not in our hands. So, the nearby hospital from your location is at approx 4 to 5kms named as Mcleodganj. Apart from this, you can take support from Delek Hospital. It was founded in 1971 by the Tibetan community residing in Dharamshala For nearby police stations, trekkers can connect to Mcleodganj police station.Last but not least, the Emergency Response Support System(ERSS) started by Pan India helps in immediate assistance. You need to press and call on 112 only.

The safety of women while trekking has been a topic of concern for many years. However, it is essential to understand that Triund Trek is relatively safe for girls who take necessary precautions.

The trail is well-marked and frequented by trekkers throughout the year, providing adequate company and assistance if needed. Many female travelers have successfully completed the trek without any hassle.

However, it's always crucial to know your surroundings and be cautious when traveling alone or in a group. It's advisable to travel with trusted companions or join organized groups led by experienced guides.

Additionally, carrying basic self-defense tools like pepper spray can also add an extra layer of security during the journey. Being mindful of local customs and dressing appropriately will help avoid unwanted attention.

Triund Trek is generally safe for women and couples as long as they remain vigilant and take appropriate measures towards their safety during the journey.

One of the common questions that many travelers ask before boarding on a trekking adventure is whether there are toilet facilities available along the way. When it comes to Triund Trek, this question often pops up as well. So, let's dive into the answer.

Firstly, it's important to note that Triund Trek is a moderately difficult trek and requires around 6-7 hours of uphill walking. Along the trail, you will come across several temporary stalls selling refreshments such as water and snacks but there aren't any permanent structures with toilets.

However, at Magic View Cafe - which is located at around 2/3rd distance from McLeodGanj - they have built some basic restrooms for their customers. It's also possible to use these restrooms even if you're not dining at the cafe by paying a small fee.

But once you cross Magic View Cafe towards Triund Hill Top or further down towards Laka Got Glacier or Indrahar Pass Base Camps, there won't be any toilet facilities available. Therefore, it's advisable to carry your own tissue papers/wipes and maintain hygiene by disposing them carefully in garbage bins only when you reach back civilization.

While toilet facilities may be limited during your trip on Triund Trek – being prepared can ensure that it doesn't become an issue during your journey!

Triund trek is a popular and scenic trek in Himachal Pradesh, India. It's a moderate level trek that requires some physical fitness and endurance. Before boarding on this adventure, there are a few things you need to know.

First of all, it's important to have the right gear for the trip. You'll need sturdy hiking shoes with good grip, warm clothes as temperatures can drop significantly at night and sunscreen lotion to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Secondly, make sure you carry enough water and snacks to keep yourself hydrated and energized throughout the trip. There are several shops along the way where you can find basic supplies like water bottles, chocolates and biscuits.

Thirdly, it's advisable to start early in the morning so that you have enough time to reach Triund before sunset. The trail gets crowded during peak season, so starting early will also help avoid traffic jams on narrow paths.

Fourthly, be prepared for sudden weather changes as mountain weather can be unpredictable. Carry raincoats or ponchos if there's a chance of rain.

Lastly but most importantly - respect nature! Do not litter or harm wildlife in any way. Carry your trash with you until you find dustbins or designated waste disposal areas.

By keeping these things in mind before boarding on your Triund Trek adventure – it will ensure an unforgettable journey while respecting nature!

Triund trek is a popular destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers. It offers stunning views of the Dhauladhar range, making it an ideal spot for camping and trekking. There are two ways to reach Triund: one is from McLeod Ganj, which is shorter but steeper, while the other is from Bhagsu Nag, which takes longer but has a gradual ascent.

The first route starts in McLeod Ganj and goes through Dharamkot village. From there, you'll follow a steep trail that winds its way up to Triund. This route covers around 7 km and can be completed in about 4-5 hours by experienced trekkers.

The second option involves starting at Bhagsu Nag village and taking the more gradual trail towards Triund. This route covers approximately 9 km and takes about 6-7 hours to complete. Although it's longer than the first route, it's less strenuous on your legs.

Both routes offer scenic views of valleys covered with tall trees as well as snow-capped mountains looming in the distance. You'll also come across several tea stalls along the way where you can grab some snacks or refreshments before continuing your journey.

For guide services charges depend on whether you want an experienced local guide or not.

Solo travel is a growing trend, and many adventure enthusiasts prefer to explore the world alone. However, when it comes to trekking in remote wilderness areas like Triund, safety should be your top priority.

While traveling solo has its benefits such as independence and freedom, it can also pose some risks. If you are planning a solo trip to Triund Trek, there are several things you need to consider before setting off on your journey.
