The Triund Trek is one of the most loved short treks in Himachal Pradesh, and for good reason. Just a few kilometres from McLeod Ganj and Dharamshala, this trail gives you a taste of the real Himalayas without needing weeks of preparation or prior trekking experience. It’s often said that no trip to Dharamshala is complete without walking up to Triund, and once you have seen those views, you will know exactly why.
Starting from Dharamkot, the trek gently winds through dense oak, rhododendron, and deodar forests. Prayer flags flutter in the cool mountain breeze, birds chirp from the branches, and now and then, you will find a tiny tea stall serving Maggi or chai with a view.
The trail is only about 9 km long, but every step feels rewarding, especially when the majestic Dhauladhar Range suddenly appears before your eyes near the top.
At the Triund Ridge, time seems to slow down. The air is cooler, the sky feels closer, and the panoramic view of Kangra Valley below and snow-clad peaks above is absolutely surreal. Evenings here are pure magic, as the sun dips behind the mountains, the sky bursts into hues of orange and pink before turning into a starry night that city dwellers can only dream of.
While the Triund Trek is a nature lover’s paradise, it’s also surrounded by the serene energy of McLeod Ganj, home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan spiritual community. Trekkers often combine the hike with a visit to the Namgyal Monastery, Tibetan Museum, or a quiet meditation session, making the journey both adventurous and soul-refreshing.
Whether you are a beginner looking for your first trek, a weekend traveller from Delhi or Chandigarh, or simply someone craving peace in the mountains, the Triund Trek delivers it all. It’s not just a hike; it’s the kind of experience that makes you fall in love with the Himalayas forever.
The Triund Trek isn’t just about reaching a summit; it’s about soaking in the spirit of the mountains. The trail begins from Dharamkot, a peaceful village above McLeodGanj, and winds through dense oak and rhododendron forests, echoing with bird calls and the sound of the wind brushing past tall pines.
Halfway up, you will reach the Magic Viewpoint, one of the oldest and most loved tea stalls on the trail. Grab a steaming cup of chai, sit back, and watch clouds float across the valley; it’s an experience trekkers never forget.
As you climb higher, the landscape opens up, revealing spectacular views of the Dhauladhar peaks, especially Moon Peak and Indrahar Pass. By sunset, the ridge glows golden, and the sky turns into a canvas of pink, orange, and purple. At night, the entire hill lights up with countless stars, a sight that feels almost unreal.
You know what the best part is? You don’t need to be an experienced trekker to do it. The Triund Trek is beginner-friendly, short, and absolutely breathtaking, perfect for your first taste of the Himalayas.
