Trek Overview

The McLeodGanj Triund Trek is one of the most popular and scenic treks in the Dhauladhar ranges, offering panoramic views of the Kangra Valley and the mighty Dhauladhar mountains.

Known as the "Crown Jewel of Dharamshala," Triund is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. This easy to moderate level trek takes you through dense forests of oak, deodar, and rhododendron, beautiful meadows, and culminates at the Triund hilltop with breathtaking 360-degree views of the Dhauladhar range.

The highlight of the trek is the spectacular sunset and sunrise views from Triund top. The trek is perfect for beginners and experienced trekkers alike, offering a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty. The trail is well-marked and can be completed in a day, but camping overnight at Triund is highly recommended to experience the magical night sky.
