As we reached in the morning, we got freshened up at the Shiv Shakti camping site at Dharamkot, 2 km ahead of Mcleodganj. That was where we got divided in groups headed by the respective guides.
Galu temple is the check point to the 6 km trek to Triund top. For a city dweller like me, even the thought of crossing the way through the lush green mountain forests was so alluring. Hence we decided to climb up by foot to the check point all the way from Dharamkot.
But I tell you, don’t drain your energy even before starting the trek. It’s a long way. If you are a first-timer, better make use of the taxi/auto service to make it to the check point!
So we started our 6 km trek from check point around 3 pm. The course of trek is literally just rocks. The terrain and the curves of the mountains make the trek a bit tricky, and hence exhilarating.
