Triund Hill
Triund Hill
Triund is a ridge that overlooks the Dhauladhars. The ridge elevation is between 2,810 and 2,875 metres. It is a one-day trek 10 kilometres (one way) from McLeod Ganj bus stand and under 6 kilometres (one way) from Galu temple near Dharamkot. The trail is rocky and cut in steps at some places. From Galu temple the trail starts as a gentle ascent to Magic View café. After the café, the ascent is a tad steeper, finally culminating in a steep one-kilometre stretch through a forest of deodars and rhododendron. This stretch through the woods is known as 22 Curves, because of the 22 switchbacks one has to walk through to reach Triund.

Triund hill is located 9 kms. from the town. The entire trek from McLeod Ganj to Triund is covered with oak and deodar trees. Taxis are available up to Gallu Devi temple from where trekking can be started. View of snow capped peaks and amazing views down towards McleodGanj is amazing. It will take about 4-5 hours to reach at the top.
