Triund Trek mcleodganj is a gentle, famous hill walk that gives spectacular views of the Dhauladhar range from a grassy ridge near McLeod Ganj. The route usually starts from Bhagsu/Bhagsunag or Dharamkot and is perfect for trekkers who want a short overnight or day hike with clear mountain views. The path climbs through pine forests, local villages and stone steps, and most people reach the Triund ridge in about 4–6 hours depending on pace. Night camping here is popular because the stars and sunrise over the Dhauladhars are stunning.
Key tips: carry warm layers, sturdy shoes and water. The trail is well-marked but can get busy in peak season (spring and autumn), so start early to enjoy quiet stretches. For those wanting a relaxed trip, book a guided short package that handles permits, camp setup and basic meals so you can enjoy the views without planning stress. Weather can change fast above tree line, so check forecasts and pack rain protection if needed.
Triund is great as a first Himalayan trek — it builds confidence and gives rich photo moments without hard climbing. Whether you walk it in summer green or shoulder seasons, the ridge and views reward you with calm and clear mountain panoramas. If you need local guidance, Hill Hikers Adventures runs regular Triund trips mcLeodganj that include guides and simple camps.
