Triund
Mcleodganj to Triund is a 9 km gradual trek which passes through
the Dharmkot and Rakkar villages. The tracks from Rawa, Dallake,
Dharamkot and Bhagsu meet at a ridge known as Galu Devi (2130m)
which has a small temple and a water point. From Galu Oevi onward
the track is smooth and clear and ascends through a mixed forest
of oaks and rhododendrons. The track then gradually gains height
and winds round the ridges looking towards Dharamsala and the
Kangra valley. The last climb after a snow nullah rises abruptly
with steep ascents and the track weaves through twenty two curves
making the ascent tiring and difficult. On this track one can spot
many types of birds. Monals are in plenty. The black bear,
leopards, pigs and wild goats are also found in this region. There
is a small forest bungalow at Triund located on a big and green
subsidiary ridge of the Dhauladhar range. The forest bungalow was
built some years ago.
