Mcleodganj to Triund Snowline Hiking ( 3 days)
An
ideal trek for beginners, this can be attempted by anyone who is fit.
It gives you a wonderful opportunity to get familiar with trekking and
camping. It can be completed in 3 days or sometimes 2 days. The distance
is less and the altitude is low, making it very comfortable.
DAY 1: From McLeodganj to Triund
Triund
is a beautiful ridge with a wonderful view of the Kangra valley, with
the Dhauladhar Mountains on all sides. Starting form Dharmkot, we walk
through the forests. Rhodederon and devdar are among the many trees you
will find here. Seeing butterflies, birds and cute little ladybugs on
the way, we rest a while and then go for a visit to a nearby temple. The
night is spent camping or if you want we can go to the one and only
guest house, there. The altitude for this trek is 2975 m and the distance is 9 km.
DAY 2: From Triund to Snowline
The
glacial lake Got at the base of a glacier is known as the snowline,
which is our destination for today. The actual position varies according
to season. We have lunch at the snowline and then we return back to
Triund by evening. We will stay at Triund for the night.
DAY 3: From Triund back to McLeodganj
We
start the return journey to Mcleodganj, after having a hearty breakfast
and may take the same route taken to come here. Alternatively, we can
go to Bhagsung temple and Bhagsung Waterfall, enjoy the beauty of nature
there and return to Mcleodganj.
One
of the easiest trekkings, this trek that starts from Mcleodganj is very
comfortable for those who begin. Others may also enjoy the wondrous
Dhauladhar mountain range. Anyone who is physically fit can undertake
this trek, with ease.
