| Short trekking expedition from Mcleodganj to Triund completed | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 11: 5 members team of Tawi Trekkers J&K successfully completed a short trekking expedition from Mcleodganj to Triund, a serene meadow situated at an altitude of over 10000ft in the Dhauladhar range of Himalaya in Himachal Pradesh.
Starting the trek from Mcleodganj, the seat of HH the Dalai Lama, the team led by Sumit Khajuria, enjoyed the trek to Triund in three phases.
For the first 3 kms it was an enjoyable walk, on a motorable road, amidst the calm and cool pines up to Dharamkot, popularly called mini Israel because of the presence of large number of Israeli tourists in the area. The next 3.5 km trek to Gallu temple was also a road walk but the road at many places was in such a dilapidated condition that the trekkers had to focus more on placing their steps at the right spots than enjoying the beautiful scenery around. Whereas the senior members, the 76 years old Prof. Lalit Magotra and 72 years old Ram Khajuria, had a well earned rest at Gallu temple (8200ft), the younger ones Sushil Singh, Ayush Sharma and the leader Sumit Khajuria explored the area for short routes to Gallu temple and Triund from Bhagshu Nag. However, all these routes, though short, were found to involve steep gradients and hence were not comfortable for older trekkers.
The next 6.5km rocky trail, non-existent at some places, to Triund was quite unique. It was tiring to some extent but very enjoyable through mixed forest of deodar, oak and rhododendron. Besides, the regular sighting of cobra plants on both sides of the trail presented an amazing experience.
The trekkers reached Triund at about 2pm after completing the 13 kms trek in 5.5 hours. The beautiful rugged meadow situated at an altitude of about 10000ft presents an excellent camping sight which commands a panoramic view of whole Kangra valley especially Dharamshala town on one side and Dhauladhar mountain range on the other. |
