Is it true that camping in Triund is closed? If yes, then when it will resume?
this page looks really promising.
We are a group of 3 friends intending to trek triund on 25th Feb, 2019. But we have been getting mixed opinions about the trek, as our travel agent said that the trek will be closed and camping wont be possible, whereas other few have said we can trek and camp on the mentioned dates.
Please guide us, whether we can trek and camp on 25th Feb, 2019? If so, would we need a guide?
Will really appreciate the help.
Trekking on Feb month is completely dependent on the level of snow fall…if there is less or no snow on trails then, it is possible to hike and stay overnight…else we will have to wait till March end. As of guide…if there is mild snow on trails, then you need one guide. With snow on trails even an easy trails can become dangerous.
Hello admin, I am planning for the trek on 20th of may, I would like to know if trek can be complete in one day as its my frist trek or do you suggest an overnight stay . In case stay can you help me with food options and tent rental.
It is one of the easiest trail….even if you instruct a child just to follow the beaten trail and not take any shortcuts, he/she will reach the first campsite with ease. Plus there are many many tea stall all along the trek. All one need is to be careful and not pose for selfies or photographs on trail edges. You can start the trek as soon by 8 or 9 am from Gallu Devi Temple and reach after 3-4 hours of walk….stay there for an hour or so and return to Mcleod with ease. Plenty of day time in summer. If you want to stay then need to book tents in advance and we can help with that, incase you want to stay, but now a days we don’t recommend overnight stay, as the place is crowded and has no toilet room facility. If you love to camp over night, then we have some of the best and secluded trekking destinations outside Dharamsala area…all you need is to tag some friend with self, means at least two person for night camp and trek. For more information you can contact us at [email protected] We Wish you a Safe, Clean and Green Hike
Thanks for the detailed information
Thank you sir for stopping by and appreciating :), We wish you a safe, clean and green hike, where you go out in Nature.
Is it safe to trek during monsoon?
Good day, yes it is safe to trek in monsoon, just you have to be prepared for sudden rainfall. Triund is safe to trek even in Monsoon season and is safe for solo girls as well.
How far is the forest guest house at Triund from the Triund trail end.
Well there are three near the trail end and they are with in 100 meters of range towards north and one is towards south east but around 300 to 500 meters of distance.
Hello, you sure have good information and that too for free. Anyway, can we trek to Triund in January? What is the condition of Triund trek? Can we go without guide or do we need to hire a guide? Also if you provide Triund camping then what are the packages for the group of 7 and for the solo trekker! Actually, I am thinking of coming for Triund trek in January 2021 with my college friends and we all are students of Delhi University! Please reply with above mentioned queries…thank you!
hey, goede dag! hoe is het tegenwoordig om in Triudn Hill te zijn
This has all of the information, I needed to clear my doubts about this trek. Now I will go for the day hike to Triund during my stay at Mcleod. I will be flying in to India and then Mcleodganj in the last week of February 2022. I hope to meet you as well, if you don’t mind ?
Thanks for the appreciation and you are most welcome anytime. We wish you a safe, clean and green hike.
Thanks a lot, your guidance helped me in concluding my first ever solo trek to Triund and Kareri lake.
Is it possible to complete the Triund trek in a day? Can we see Dharamshala Cricket Stadium from Triund? Actually we are planning our trek to triund in coming weekend of December 2023 and may be the Christmas, so do we need guide during that period and what about snow and weather all like that. Also can you suggest about stay as well. Will a home stay be good or some hotel?
Yes, it is, but for that you need to start early by 8am

The trek to Triund Top, near Mcleodganj and Dhamarkot in the state of Himachal Pradesh, is a popular one. The reason? It is short and easy – great for first-time hikers. The reward for reaching the top is the gorgeous view of the snow-covered Dhauladhar range and green grass as far as the eyes can see. It is a sight to behold!
We were two girls who trekked to Triund all by ourselves and loved every bit of it. If you’re in the Dharamshala/Mcleodganj area then you definitely should hike to Triund top. The below-mentioned pointers are all you need to know for a successful Triund hike.
Note: Please do not litter when you travel. Carry your waste with you in bag and if possible pick up any litter your find.
Triund top is at the height of 2,850 m (9,350 ft). The elevation gain during the trek is about 914 metres (3,000 feet).
The trek to Triund top can be done all year round except for the rainy months of July and August, and the peak winter months of January and February. In December, you can expect the first snowfall on the trek. The spring and summer months of March to June have the best weather conditions to trek. Though post-monsoon months have the clearest views of the mountains during the trek.
We went in late April and during this time there is a lot of haze due to forest fires. Hence, the view of the valley and mountains during the trek wasn’t very clear.
There are two main Triund trek routes: One from Dharamkot (via Gallu Devi Temple) and one from McLeodganj (via Bhagsu)
1. Dharamkot (via Gallu Devi Temple): 7 km and 4.5 hours at an average pace one way
The route up from Dharamkot goes via Gallu Devi Temple. This is the preferred route because it is not only the easier of the two but also a very beautiful one through Rhododendron and Oak forests. Remember to go up from Zostel via the staircase. After reaching Gallu Devi temple, you’ll have to take the path going right. It’s not difficult to find and there is a shop and checkpoint there so you’ll be sure of where you’re going.
If you want to shorten your hike to about 5.45 km and 4 hours approx., then take a cab to Gallu Temple Checkpoint. We took a cab from near Zostel in Dharamkot to Gallu Temple and it cost a whopping Rs. 500 after bargaining! The road to the temple is quite bad and hence the cab guys charge quite a bit.
2. Mcleodganj (via Bhagsu Falls) : 9 km and 6 hours at avg pace one way
There is another trek route to Triund that goes via Bhagsu Fall and Shiva Cafe. It is considered to be more challenging because certain sections are steep and slippery and hence the trek takes more time to complete. It is, therefore, not recommended for beginner hikers. Per my observation, most tour groups take this path. They start at Mcleodganj Chowk, go through the falls and then to Triund. So if you’re a beginner and planning to book a tour, read/enquire about the route details carefully before making your booking. In this blog post, we will only discuss the Dharamkot/Gallu Devi Temple Route.
You don’t really need a guide or tour. If you’re walking alone, you might prefer to hire someone for company’s sake but it’s unnecessary especially if you take the Gallu Devi Temple route.
As I mentioned before, we were two girls who did Triund trek without a guide. At no point did we feel that we should have come with a guide. You will keep bumping into people from time to time since it is a popular hike. It’s perfectly safe and easy!
Yes, it absolutely can. A day hike is best if you’re short on time and can spare only one day. Remember that you’ll need to be physically fit to hike up and then back the same day. It would be about 12-18 km depending on your route and take you 5-7 hours minimum not counting the time you’ll spend at the top.
If you hike a lot then staying the night may not be interesting for you since you’ll complete your journey up quite fast and have plenty of time to spend there before you come back down.
For beginners or those who don’t hike often, I would highly recommend doing a Triund night stay for these reasons:
To spend the night at Triund, you can either pitch your own tent or stay at an established camp.
If you’re planning to pitch your own tent, note that it is technically not allowed but people still do it. Make sure you walk further toward the Triund head (which goes to the Bhagsu route) and pitch a tent there hidden by the many rocks. Also, only pitch a tent around sunset just before it gets dark so no one bothers you saying it isn’t allowed.
If you’re going on a weekend, you definitely need to have a camp/stay pre-booked. There might be a lot of rush so you may not get a camp. In case you’re unable to prebook a camp, I’d suggest hiking up as early as possible so you can find an empty camp or hike back down if you can’t.
If you’re going on a weekday, it’s your wish if you want to prebook or not. Note that if you’re not pre-booking then it is best to reach there as early as possible and ask for options.
We prebooked our camp through Dhauladhar’s Doors just a night prior to going. Dhauladhar’s Doors is located at Triund top and has 2 tents, a cottage with rooms, a kitchen and a dining area. It also had a separate tent that is a toilet – a dug-out pit to do your thing with a shovel provided to cover it up with mud. You can book either the tents or a room by calling Mr Raj at +91-9736641934. They provide simple and tasty dinner (Dal, Chawal, Sabzi, salad, papad) and breakfast (bread omelette or Maggi and tea). In the tent, you’re given a cotton mattress and a sleeping bag. This cost us Rs. 1,200.
Day hike without a guide: If you hike in one day without a guide, then it’ll cost you nothing except any food and water you buy along the way or sticks you rent out.
Overnight stay with self-booked camp: If you’re staying the night, the camp will cost you about Rs. 700-1500 per person. Lower side on reaching there and booking and higher side on pre-booking.
Tours to Triund: These would cost in the range of 800-1800 depending on the duration of the tour, camping site and provisions.Here’s one option: Triund trek with camping
How much the two of us spent:
Cab to Gallu Devi temple: Rs. 500
Camp: Rs. 2,400 (inclusions: tent, dinner, breakfast)
Stick: Rs. 100 (Rented stick for Rs.100 each, returned it and got Rs. 50 each back)
Food and beverages at magic view cafe: Rs. 300 (Maggi, bread omelette, coffee, tea, water refill)
Beverages at Triund top: Rs. 50 (coffee and tea)
Gatorade and water at triund top: Rs. 150
Food and beverages at magic view cafe: Rs. 400 (Maggi, bread omelette, coffee, tea, water refill, Gatorade)
Cab from Gallu Devi Temple to Dharamkot: Rs. 500
Total for 2 people: 4,400
Cost for 1 person: 2,200
Now that you’ve decided if you doing a day hike or staying the night let’s get into the time to leave. Remember that we will only discuss the hike through the Gallu Devi Route in this article so here goes.
If you’re a day hiker, then you have to start the hike before 11 AM. After that, you won’t be allowed up without a camp booking. It’s safer to cross the checkpoint at Gallu Devi Temple before 10 AM.
I’d suggest starting as early as possible. Most people start between 7-9 AM. The reason for this is that if you’re slow, you’ll have plenty of time to spend at Triund and some more to return before dark. If you’re fast, you’ll have more time to spend at Triund or you can even go up to Snowline Cafe.
Take note that you are not allowed to cross the Triund checkpoint after 2 PM.
If you’re setting up your own camp or haven’t pre-booked a camp, then leave before 11 AM. If you have already prebooked a camp, you can leave between 11 AM and 2 PM as well.
Here’s my suggestion:
Leave before 11 AM regardless. If you’re a slow hiker, you’ll get plenty of time at Triund before sunset and if you’re fast you’ll get even more.
We left at 12:30 PM, took tons of breaks for various reasons and reached by 5:30 PM. The issue with this was that after arriving so late, we had only one hour to enjoy the sunset and find our camp. We couldn’t explore Triund Top properly this evening but consoled ourselves thinking that it’ll be okay to explore it the next day. But the next morning we noticed, to our dismay, that it was not only very sunny and hot but also that the mountains aren’t really visible. I would have rather reached much earlier the previous evening and left Triund early the next morning.
On reaching the Gallu Devi Checkpoint, you will be stopped by a police officer who will check your Government ID card and make a note of your name and ID number in a register. They will also take a photocopy of your ID card. If you reach the checkpoint after 11 AM then he’ll also check your camp booking confirmation.
Further, the officer will check your bag for alcohol and speakers. These are not allowed on the trek.
Don’t forget to rent a stick if you don’t have your own trekking pole. It is available at the checkpoint shop. It costs only Rs. 100 to rent and you get Rs. 50 back on returning it. This stick will help you immensely on your way up to Triund by taking your body weight off your legs and dividing it between your upper body and lower body. Your knees will thank you for lowering the stress on them and your back for better posture. As a result, your balance and speed will increase.
Here’s a video of my experience . It’s the very first long-form video I have ever edited, so please be kind.
The first half from Gallu Devi Temple is a gradual ascent through Rhodendron and Oak forests. A lot of the trek will be shaded by these trees which will lower the intensity of the sun on you. You’ll not get very tired.
The floor will be a mass of leaves and will gradually start having more rocks. From time to time you’ll find clearings that’ll give you a view of the Dharamshala area or rather the Kangra Valley. It’s quite a view on a clear day.
You’ll reach the mid-point of the hike with just a few breaks here and there to catch your breath. The midpoint is marked by two cafes – Magic View Cafe and Best View Cafe. Magic View is the oldest Chai shop built in 1984 and the better one too. (Trust me, we tried both and the person at the other cafe didn’t care about his business at all)
The second half begins to get steeper and steeper. But it’s perfectly fine – nothing scary just more tiring. The ground will have more rock than leaves and the trees will clear out more and more.
The trail will also start to get more beautiful.
The final 20-30 mins will be a bit gruelling. You’ll feel like giving up but you’ll see the route get greener telling you that you’re just about to reach. Carry on and you’ll be rewarded in just a bit.
The moment you near the very last few steps to Triund Top, you’ll get a glimpse of the mighty Dhauladhar Mountain Range and trust me, all your tiredness will melt away and be replaced by sheer awe and gratitude.
A few more steps and you’ll see green grass and rocks all over. You can grab a tea or coffee and bite at the very visible tea stall! Just spend the evening walking around, breathing clear fresh air and being mesmerized by the view.
Be sure to get settled in your camp before dark.
To find your specific camp or a random camp to stay in (if you’ve not pre-booked your stay) simply ask the person at the shop. When we got there our camp person located us himself so it was quite convenient.
Basics (will be needed by day hikers and by campers).
Also, depending on the month you’re travelling in, day hikers can also carry a woollen layer like a jacket or sweatshirt. I would always carry a wind cum rain jacket in any season but that’s up to you!
It gets really chilly at night you will need to carry woollen layers in addition to some other items. While you’re hiking you won’t feel cold at all, so all your woollens will be in your bag. These woollens will add a bit of weight to your bag so stressing on this again – carry a good, sturdy, well-padded backpack. It is best to shop for items given below at Marks and Spencer (thermals), Uniqlo (down jacket and thermals), Columbia, Decathlon, and Wildcraft. All these brands are present in India!
Yes, you can trek further than Triund as well. If you’re planning to camp at Triund, then you can definitely hike up to Snowline Cafe the next morning (2 km further) and then hike down to Gallu Devi Temple. However, there are longer treks that go beyond Triund as well. These are as follows:
McLeodganj- Triund- Laka Glacier- McLeodganj: 10,600 ft; 11- 13 km one way; 2-3 days, moderate-difficult
McLeodganj – Triund – Laka Glacier- Indrahar Pass-McLeodganj: 14,245 ft; 4 days; 22 km one way; difficult
That’s all folks! I would love to answer any questions you may have about the trek to Triund. Do drop them below in the comments section and I’ll answer them asap. Have a fantastic trek!
Good morning, To be honest First time i have read so beautiful detailed article.
This is exactly what I was looking for and everything I was lookingfor. Extremely detailed and useful. Huge thanks for writing this. I couldn’t find a more comprehensive guide anywhere else.
You’re most welcome. Enjoy the trek. Triund is beautiful!
Do I need downjacket and snow gloves for a Trek in the last week of march
Yes, for the down jacket, it is still quite cold. I’m not sure about snow gloves in particular but taking some warm gloves is always better.
Very useful post. Thanks a lot!

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.
