The experience
You start after breakfast at the office in Bhagsu and begin the steep climb to Triund: four hours through oak, rhododendron and deodar forest. The ascent is steady and the forest closes around you, but the views from the Triund café at the top open across the ridges. After a few hours resting and taking in the place, you walk down nearly two kilometers to the Leta campsite where you'll sleep in a tent with a sleeping bag and mat.
Day two turns on the sunrise. You wake early to watch the light hit the mountain ranges, then eat a hot breakfast and trek back down to Mcleodganj by midday. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore the town. A guide leads both days, and the trek is easier than many. The steep part is the first morning, and the descent is straightforward. Weekdays are quieter than weekends or holidays, when the ridge gets crowded.
