Atul (my Dharamsala GH owner) and i decided to the 8km day trek upto Triund (2827m) in the Dhaula Dhar range of Himalyas in western HP. So waerly on 23rd April 2005 morning at 7am we left Dharamsala and too a share jeep up to Mc Leod Ganj. From there we started the trek at about 7:45am and first reached Dharamkot and then via Gulu Devi temple. On the way we crossed some frozen snow flows and reached the Triund top at about 1:15 am. The total climb was about 5 hrs. At the top there was beutiful grassy meadowns and crowded with many trekkers with pitched tents and a picnic like atmosphere.
