Triund trek is one of the shortest and easiest Himalayan treks with spectacular scenery and a picturesque view of snow-covered Dhauladhar ranges and Kangra valley. It is one of the most popular treks to go over the weekend from Delhi and Punjab. The Triund trek is an ideal destination for those who are looking for a short adventure trek which can be done over a weekend.
This two-day short trek can easily be done on a weekend. Most of us barely get enough time to travel, explore new places and go on an adventurous trip. The Triund trek allows us to explore the beauty and calmness of the Himalayas. This trek might be short, but it will surely give you a little taste of adventure as the trail is a little steep at some points.
Triund is flat grassland located at an altitude of about 2,875 meters above sea level and offers breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar mountain range. The trek is suitable for people of all age groups and can be completed in a day, making it a popular choice for weekend getaways.

Weather in the mountains is difficult and hard to predict. Of course, it is generally cold at night, and in winter, the days can be quite beautiful if the sun is out. There can be snow or rain storms any time of the year. Trekking in spring (March – April) is particularly beautiful. As the rhododendrons are in full bloom. The mountains still have plenty of high snow to snap your photos. You need to be aware that it can get pretty hot and sunstroke can be a risk. Good polarizing sunglasses or glacier glasses for high altitudes/winter treks. A large brimmed hat are a necessity. It is also important to make sure that you can stay warm and dry in about any conditions. Expect the unexpected! Between 1000m and 3500m the temperature could be as high as 20 deg C to 5 deg C low. At higher altitude, the temperature ranges from 20 deg C to -10 deg C. During winter it is around 10 deg colder.
