Triund

Triund is a large land of green grass. One can see the mighty Dhauladhar range. The ridge elevation is between 2,810 and 2,875 meters. It is a one-day trek approx. 10 kilometers (one way) from Mcleod Ganj bus stand and under 6 kilometers (one way) from Galu temple near Dharamkot. The trail is rocky and cuts in steps at some places. From Galu Devi temple there is an unambiguous byway which goes through a beautiful forest of oak and devdar trees.

The road transport of the near is a Pathankot to Gaggal then to Dharamsala and New Delhi to the Chandigarh and then to Kangra and finally Dharamsala.

The nearest railway stations on the Shimla-Kangra of narrow gauge line are at Jassur (Nurpur, Kangra, and Himachal Pradesh) and Paror railway stop near Nagrota about 20km south of Dharamsala to nearby Triund campsite. The nearest railhead of the broad gauge is at Pathankot (about 85 km).

Gaggal Airport (which is also known as Kangra Airport) to Gaggal market and turn left for Dharamsala no need to go Kangra.

And then from Dharamshala to Mcleod Ganj. From there trek will begin from Dharamkot.

There is another trek which goes by Bhagsu waterfall and Shiva Cafe, but this trek is quite difficult and challenging. So trek from Dharamkot is preferred.

Triund is inaccessible in January and February due to heavy snowfall. The best time for the trekking is from March till May in the first part of the year and from September till December in the second half of the year. It is Rainy in June and July but still trekking is possible the meadow is lush green presenting out of this world.
