The experience

The trek starts in the morning at Dharamkot (near McLeodganj) and climbs through well-defined trails lined with rhododendron and oak trees toward Triund Hill. The route is steep in sections but marked, and you'll stop for lunch and evening snacks along the way. By evening you reach the Triund campsite, where dinner is served and you sleep in a tent with a provided sleeping bag and mattress.

Day two begins with breakfast at the campsite, then retraces the same trail back down to Dharamkot, arriving by evening. The trek gives you time to take in the views of the Dhauladhar Range and the snow line from the high meadow, especially in the morning and after returning from the descent. A guide in English or Hindi leads both days.
