Triund
is a popular picnic spot at an height
of 2827 m. The area is on the foothills
of Dhauladhar range and is 17-kms from
Dharamsala. The snow line starts at
Ilaqua, which is five kms from Triund.
The breathtaking views of the mountains
and the valleys makes Triund an ideal
picnic spot and trekking spot.
The most interesting, the most spectacular trek from McLeod Ganj is the
12 km climb to Triund-a level clearing atop a spur-an exciting 2827 meters
above sea level. Massive rocks, exotic mountain plants and ice covered
ponds hold one's attention for a while. Below, you can see the Pong Dam
in the hazy distance. Above Triund, the Dhualadhars rise in icy splendor.
From the Forest Bungalow at Triund, glorious treks of discovery can be
made treks that reveal the Dhauladhars in all their many colors and moods.
