       Triund    
      
      Mcleodganj to Triund is a 9 
      km gradual trek which passes through the Dharmkot and Rakkar villages. The 
      tracks from Rawa, Dallake, Dharamkot and Bhagsu meet at a ridge known as 
      Galu Devi (2130m) which has a small temple and a water point. From Galu 
      Devi onward the track is smooth and clear and ascends through a mixed 
      forest of oaks and rhododendrons. The track then gradually gains height 
      and winds round the ridges looking towards Dharamsala and the Kangra 
      valley. The last climb after a snow nullah rises abruptly with steep 
      ascents and the track weaves through twenty two curves making the ascent 
      tiring and difficult. On this track one can spot many types of birds. 
      Monals are in plenty. The black bear, leopards, pigs and wild goats are 
      also found in this region. There is a small forest bungalow at Triund 
      located on a big and green subsidiary ridge of the Dhauladhar range. The 
      forest bungalow was built some years ago |       |
