Triund

The easiest summit in this list, Triund Top is located at the foothills of the Dhauladhars and makes for a compelling trek in Himachal. You start the trek at Mcleodganj, the quaint and charming town located about an hour away from our resort in Himachal Pradesh. If you intend to stay the night and watch the sunrise at Triund before checking in to our resort the next morning, you can stock up on essential supplies at Mcleodganj itself. You will also have to carry tents that you can rent from Mcleodganj should you find yourself without one.

The trek begins early in the afternoon with you reaching the Gallu Devi temple at Dharamkot and registering with the state forest department. The trek is more of a walk at this point with a simple straightforward path taking you through acres of pine forest and the odd tourist. There is also a charming cafe at the half-point for a pick-me-up before you go on with your trek. Eventually the trail becomes a little steeper so do be careful although it is definitely easier than most summits in Himachal. It takes around 4 hours to reach the summit where there is sufficient space for camping and the Triund mandir, a small temple dedicated to Shiva. Set up your tent, share engrossing stories with your fellow campers as the stars put on a show to dazzle and fall asleep to the winds caressing your tent. You get to witness a picture perfect sunrise in the morning as you wake up and the sun kisses the Dhauladhars!
