Overview

Triund is the crown jewel of Dharamshala treks. Starting from Dharamkot, the trail winds through oak and rhododendron forests before opening up to a dramatic alpine meadow. The summit ridge offers a staggering panorama: snow-capped Dhauladhar peaks on one side, the Kangra Valley below on the other. Camping overnight to watch sunset turn the peaks golden is quintessential Dharamshala.
