The Experience

The morning air in Bhagsu feels cool, almost damp, as I zipped up my jacket and met the group at the little office tucked beside the chai stall. Our guide, Raj, handed out water bottles and checked our shoes—he’s got this way of making you feel like you’re just out with friends, not on some official tour. The first hour of the climb is all roots and rocks underfoot, with the scent of pine needles and last night’s rain hanging in the air. We passed a couple of local women carrying firewood, their laughter echoing through the trees. Every so often, Raj would point out a patch of wild rhododendrons or stop to let us catch our breath at a bend where you could see all the way down to Dharamshala’s rooftops.

By midday, we reached Triund ridge. There’s a small café up there—nothing fancy, just plastic chairs and sweet chai—but honestly, after that climb, it felt like a five-star spot. I watched clouds drift over the Dhauladhar range while sipping tea; someone nearby played soft music on their phone. We didn’t stay too long at the top since weekends can get crowded (Raj says weekdays are much quieter). After soaking in those mountain views, we headed down to Leta campsite—about half an hour’s walk below Triund. Tents were already set up when we arrived, mats rolled out inside. Dinner was simple but hot, and as night fell, you could hear nothing but the wind and an occasional dog barking somewhere far off.

The next morning, I woke up before sunrise—honestly, it was chilly enough to make me wish I’d packed thicker socks. But when those first rays hit the snowy peaks, everyone just stood there quietly for a minute or two. Breakfast was eggs and toast with steaming cups of tea. We took our time packing up before heading back down to Bhagsu Nag. By noon, my legs were tired but my head felt clear—a good kind of tired. There was still plenty of time left to wander around Mcleodganj or grab momos from one of those tiny street stalls near the main square.
