Triund Trek
त्रियुंड
A grassy ridge at about 2,850 meters, with the snowy Dhauladhar peaks close at hand and the Kangra Valley far below. It is the classic hike in the area.
Starting from Dharamkot or Galu Devi Temple, the trek is about 9 km one way with about 800 meters of climbing, taking 3 to 4 hours. The ridge has simple tea stalls and campsites, and many people stay overnight to watch the sunrise and the stars. In recent years, to protect the environment, camping and plastic products have been restricted. You must register and pay at the forestry office entrance. Avoid the rainy season (July and August), when the trail is slippery and rockfalls occur. It is not recommended then.
