Triund Trek 1N/2D
<p>The <strong>Triund Trek</strong> is Himachal Pradesh's most beloved introductory trek — a 7.5 km trail from the colourful streets of McLeod Ganj (home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile) to a sublime ridgeline at 2,875 metres with an unobstructed view of the Dhauladhar range's sheer snow wall. It is easy enough for first-time trekkers and families, yet the summit panorama — with the Kangra valley stretching into the haze far below and the Dhauladhars rising dramatically behind — is as good as anything on a much harder trail.</p><p>The trail climbs through dense oak and rhododendron forest from Dharamkot, opening progressively to reveal the Dhauladhar ridgeline. The final 2 km are open hillside with spectacular views in all directions. At the summit, a Forest Department rest house and small dhaba provide hot tea and maggi noodles — a welcome arrival ritual. Camp on the flat ridge, watch the sunset paint the Kangra valley, and wake to a misty Himalayan morning before descending in time for breakfast in McLeod Ganj.</p><p>Junegiri Yatra packages include trekking guide, tent, sleeping bag, and all meals on the mountain. The trek is graded <strong>Easy</strong> and suitable for children from age 10 upwards. Best season: March–June and September–November.</p>
