The Dhauladhar is essentially an incredible elevation. Sets on a massively undulating territory, this mountain is as well tantamount in both its profile of ascent and its adjacent position in the Indian lay of the plate. It is a topographically dynamic zone, resting all the while on an important push bearing of the Indian plate. This is one of the vital and capable sectors of the Himalayas where the weight created by the Indian continent’s load is at its strongest.
While the Indian plateau grows more deeply listed below the Asian Plateau, the Dhauladhar reach is a community where you can see a topographical variant of the Himalayan chain in all. Crossing the watershed boundary of the Dhauladhar River from Kangra to Chamba or in reverse leads you through each climatic natural belt imaginable from the tropical good countries of the substantial Himalayan waterways to the sub-cold wastes of the highest point of the edge.
Triund makes for an enticing trekking destination, with all-around characterized woods trails and impressive views of the entire Kangra valley. The night’s perspective sky from Triund is enough of a reason to set up a mobile shelter here for the night. It has a distance of about 18 km from Dharmshala.
Even though the trek from McLeodganj to Triund is an ascent of more than 1,100 meters, it can be well compensated by enjoyable hikes amid various types of trees. The dining choices in this area, such as Magic View, Scenic View and Snowline Cafe, are all great.
The town of McLeodganj (generally known as little Lhasa) gives you the opportunity to peer at the vivacious Tibetan society. The tourist regions here are all covered and any traveller can set out on all kinds of journeys of lengthier duration, such as the Indrahar Pass, the Minkiani Pass, Kareri Lake and the distance to Kuarsi Pass and Mani-Mahesh. If you have the time, prefer trekking from Triund to Lahesh Cave and scanning the rocky pinnacles of Indrahar Pass.
Trek Description:
This is a small and easy trek, which can be done either from McLeodganj or Dharamkot, which is 2 kilometres from McLeodganj. The trail is 7 kilometres from Dharamkot and goes past Galu Devi Sanctuary. From this sanctuary, it takes roughly 3 hours to reach Triund. The first part of the journey is an incline and the last 2 miles to Snowline Cafe are a steep hike until Triund (2,975 meters).

Bhagsu and Dharamkot, in the Himalayan foothills, are no more than a couple of hours away with an excursion on the path beyond the town. The trail from Dharamkot, which is a little more pleasant physically, takes you through a thick stand of pine trees. The high point of and become suspended above the reserve is found around fifteen minutes away.
The tea shop is just a little beneath the holy place, at the location of this tributary. From here, one trail travels southwest into the woodland to the town of Naddi. Another backwoods trail travels northwest, to the stream that plummets from Laka. The principal trail to Triund proceeds straight past the lowermost sanctum. The pathway climbs gently up to intersect the high section of the Laka ridge. Dharamkot and Bhagsu are straightforwardly underneath this trail.
About half the way up the Dhauladhar range is a precarious place that crosses a rough terrain and goes up on a vertiginous ledge. The primary Dhauladhar is not the only mountain that comes across as you ascend from Dharamkot; the pyramidal peak of Mon is pretty impressive from this altitude.
To the south of the Magic View Cafe, the trail becomes more challenging. As of this time, a triangle formed by the Dharamkot goad of Laka and the Triund edge meets at every point, giving rise to a pair of steep climbs along which thickly forested segments are interspersed with open areas.
The trail traverses the dynamic swinging lowland of rhododendron and oak through thick thickets of rhododendron and oak trees. It’s a charming, but the slightly difficult ride up the mountain when it’s raining. Be careful with the path when it’s pouring, because the pathway becomes dangerously slippery.
The last handful of segments gets you out of the rhododendrons and onto Triund’s edge. It’s an open, verdant field that extends a good distance to the south, before plunging to the Kangra valley. There are plenty of places to camp. You could also get some provisions at four tea shops here.
From Dhauladhar Square at Triund, marvel at the beauty of the unfettered vistas of Mun (4,610 m), Rifle Horn, Arthur Seat, and Slab (4,570 m). The river is only 1 km away from Triund.
The views from here are magnificent. Toward the east, the Dhauladhar ridge ascends in a series of peaks, the most famous of which is covered by the Indian name of Narwana. Beneath, greenery the green verdant sides of Triund and just adjacent to the trail is profound lush valleys through which the various rivers drain the southern face of the Dhauladhar.
