Friday

Day 1

For People in a hurry wondering a brief itinerary : Get a bus from ISBT Kashmiri Gate to Dharamshala . An HRTC semi-sleeper bus would cost Rs550 per person. From Dharamshala get a shared cab for Rs 15 to Mcleodgunj and the trek starts 9Kms + 6kms to triund . Pretty simple trekk and straight forward route. In summers u would be accompanied by many fellow travelers both INDIAn and foreigners But winters maximum foreigners and pro-trekkers. I would recommend to take ur own food and water cause things are expensive as high as double the MRP up there.. But for camping or night stay Tents (Rs500) and Blankets (Rs 200) are available I carried all my own.. ..... Happy Traveling...

21:22 - Delhi to Dharamshala HRTC semi-sleeper (Fare-Rs550)*

Day 2

Saturday

9:00 - Get a cab to McLeodganj Distance - 10KM (Rs15)

9:15 - Start a 15 Km trek from McLeodganj to Triund peak .... U can take a cab also from McLeodganj to trek starting point which is 9 Kms from McLeodganj but being a ✌passionate trekker ✌ I chose to trek it down ... but the real trek starts after the registration point yes u need to register to a defence personnel on duty He would ask for a photo Id and ur contact details... after that the real 6 km trek starts.... The view at the top is worth the effort .. I would suggest u to stay for a night and feel the nature ....
