Overview
Looking for a short yet refreshing escape into the mountains? The Triund Trek with Camp Stay (1N/2D) is the perfect weekend getaway for those seeking adventure, tranquility, and Himalayan beauty – all packed into just two days.
Your journey begins in Delhi, from where you’ll travel overnight in a comfortable AC Volvo or traveller to Mcleodganj, a serene hill station nestled in the Dhauladhar range of Himachal Pradesh. As morning light hits the pine-covered slopes, you'll arrive in the peaceful town of Mcleodganj – home to Tibetan culture, buzzing cafes, and scenic trails.
After a quick refresh, a short drive takes you to Galu Devi Temple, the base point for the Triund Trek. The trail begins gently and gradually weaves through dense forests of oak, deodar, and rhododendron. With every step, the noise of the city fades away and the crisp mountain air clears the mind. Photogenic turns, chirping birds, and glimpses of snowy peaks make the 9 km trek a fulfilling experience even for beginners.
By afternoon, you’ll reach the Triund ridge, a wide alpine meadow that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Kangra Valley below and the mighty Dhauladhar peaks above. After checking into cozy dome tents, you’ll have time to explore the surroundings, capture Instagram-worthy shots, or just sit and soak in the silence.
As the sun sets behind the snow-draped mountains, the sky changes from golden to pink and eventually reveals a starlit canopy above. Gather around the bonfire (subject to weather) and enjoy a hearty vegetarian dinner under the stars. It’s the kind of night that stays etched in memory for years.
The next morning, rise early to catch the sunrise over the mountains, followed by a warm breakfast at the campsite. The descent takes a scenic route via Bhagsu village, with options to visit the Bhagsu Waterfall and Bhagsu Nag Temple on the way down. Back in Mcleodganj, enjoy some free time to shop for souvenirs, explore cafés, or relax before boarding your evening vehicle back to Delhi.
This experience is ideal for solo travelers, couples, and groups of friends who crave nature, simplicity, and a break from screens and schedules. Whether it’s your first trek or your tenth, Triund is a trail that welcomes everyone with open arms and unforgettable views.
