Day 1: Start of the trek from McLeod Ganj;

The trek starts from Bhagsu Village. A shared taxi can take you there in like 30 minutes and you can start your trek from that point. As informed before, it takes upto 3 – 4 hours a side. However, took me 6 hours, Thanks to the first timer experience.

Met wonderful people from American Express. We have became pretty good friends now though!

The track is a bit rough but still maintained a lot. There is a police barrier gates more like a check point, assigned by police and forest department as soon as your start your trek. They will not let you take any speakers or alcohol with you. So better avoid those things and just be ready to be one with nature.

The track right after you have crossed the check point!

I am sharing one of my favorite video from you-tube I edited.

The trek is considered as easy but still rocky enough. The view after about an hour or 2 is amazing. You will get to know you have reached the middle point once you reached the "Magic View Point". It is more like a resting cafe made for traveler to have some food or drinks or just to enjoy the view, as the name suggest itself.

Point of Achievement: Triund Peak!

Once you reach on the top, you can get a camping arranged for the night for Rs. 500/- per night. The view up from there is mesmerizing.

The journey only requires you to put one foot in front of the other…again and again and again.

Night at Triund:

After getting my camp and everything arranged and I comforted myself for a while. Then at night, we all decided to have our little bonfire event as it was windy and cold up there. We sang songs, listened to music and just cherished the moment.

Day 2: Morning in Triund;

The morning was much quieter than the last night. We encountered a thunderstorm and once we walk up, we could see glimpse of snow all over our tent. The mountain next to ours was covered in snow.

As I mentioned about that Rs. 500/- camping arrangement, you can a morning breakfast inclusive in it.

Good Morning Click! Peace at its best..

Back to McLeod Ganj:

We all started our trek back to McLeod Ganj early in the morning after having our breakfast. So I should not say early, instead around 10:30 AM. It took me much less time comparatively and I was able to reach Gula within 4 hours.

Afternoon in McLeod Ganj;

We had to drive back to Delhi the same night as it was Sunday, but had a complete afternoon to myself. So decided to take this chance and roam around McLeod Ganj. I visited Shiva Cafe and enjoyed the waterfall for the complete afternoon.
