Triund Trek

The Triund Trek is a short yet fulfilling Himalayan adventure, perfect for both beginners and seasoned trekkers looking for a quick escape into nature. The trek begins at the Bhagsunag Taxi Stand near McLeod Ganj, leading you through lush forests of deodar, oak, fir, and rhododendron trees. Early on, you’ll pass the popular Bhagsu Waterfall and Shiva Café—great spots to pause and enjoy the mountain vibes. As the trail steepens after the waterfall, panoramic views of Bhagsu village, McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala city, and the expansive Kangra Valley come into view. Marked with red and white paint, the route becomes more demanding, but there are small tea stalls along the way to rest and refill. After about 3–4 hours of hiking, you’ll arrive at Triund Top—where you’ll set up camp. As the sun sets, the sky transforms into hues of red, orange, and purple, creating an unforgettable view over the Dhauladhar range. If the weather and forest authorities permit, enjoy a cozy campfire session followed by dinner, before retiring to your tent for a peaceful night under the stars.

Day 2 begins with a warm breakfast at the Triund Top. This gentle climb offers a rewarding sunrise experience, with the first rays of light illuminating the snow-covered peaks of the Dhauladhar range. After soaking in the views and capturing some incredible photos, begin your descent through the same forested trail. The return trek to Bhagsunag is about 8 km and takes you through serene alpine terrain and refreshing rest stops like the Gallu Devi temple. As you make your way back to McLeod Ganj, you’ll carry with you not only the memories of dramatic mountain landscapes but also the peaceful rhythm of the Himalayas. The trek concludes by early afternoon, leaving you refreshed and inspired.
