The Dharamshala – Triund Trek is one of the most sought-after short treks in Himachal Pradesh, attracting travelers from all over the world. Known as the crown jewel of Dharamshala, the trek offers the perfect mix of natural beauty, cultural experiences, and adventure, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned trekkers. Starting with a comfortable overnight Volvo journey from Delhi, this package blends sightseeing in Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj with a scenic trek to Triund, followed by camping under the stars.
Gateway to the Himalayas
The adventure begins with a bus ride from Delhi’s Majnu ka Tilla, where travelers board a Volvo bus in the evening for an overnight journey to Dharamshala. This comfortable ride takes you away from the bustling city and into the serene landscapes of Himachal Pradesh. On arrival in Dharamshala, you are greeted by cool mountain air and breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar range. A short cab ride brings you to your guest house where you can relax before exploring the cultural hub of McLeod Ganj.
Explore Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj
The first day in Dharamshala introduces you to the rich Tibetan culture and spirituality that the town is famous for. McLeod Ganj, also known as Little Lhasa, is home to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and features monasteries, colorful Tibetan markets, and cozy mountain cafés. Travelers can visit the Dalai Lama Temple complex, shop for souvenirs, or simply relax in the town’s vibrant atmosphere. This cultural immersion perfectly balances the adventure that awaits on the trek.
The Triund Trek Experience
The highlight of this package is undoubtedly the Triund trek, a 9-kilometer trail that starts from Bhagsu Nag near McLeod Ganj. The trek is moderate in difficulty, making it accessible even to beginners. The trail winds through deodar, oak, and rhododendron forests, with several viewpoints offering glimpses of the valley below. Along the way, trekkers pass by the Bhagsu Nag Temple and the scenic Bhagsu Waterfall, where you can take a short break for refreshments and photographs.
As you ascend, the trail becomes steeper, but the rewards are worth every step. The summit at Triund, located at around 2,850 meters, opens up to sweeping views of the Kangra Valley on one side and the snow-clad Dhauladhar Mountains on the other. Triund is one of the best vantage points in Himachal Pradesh, offering a front-row seat to some of the most spectacular Himalayan landscapes.
Camping at Leta
Instead of staying at the crowded Triund top, the package includes camping at the nearby Leta campsite, which provides a more peaceful and comfortable experience. After leaving your bags at the campsite, you can trek to Triund for sunset views before returning to Leta. Evenings are spent by the bonfire, enjoying dinner, music, and stargazing under the clear mountain sky. The silence of the mountains combined with the sparkle of countless stars makes this experience unforgettable.
Sunrise and Return
The following morning begins with a mesmerizing sunrise over the Dhauladhar peaks. After breakfast, trekkers descend back to Bhagsu Nag and McLeod Ganj. The afternoon is free to explore the markets, sip coffee in a hillside café, or visit local attractions before boarding the evening Volvo bus back to Delhi. This brings the journey to a close, leaving you with lasting memories of the Himalayas.
