TRIUND TREKKING >>>>


Triund ..
It's a peak which is arnd 12 km height from mclowdganj ..We stared our trekking at arnd 8 inthe morning ..The track looked difficult but we dnt face any trouble to reach the top..we reached triund in arnd 4 hrs ..we saw only freigners in the way .. exceptionally unpredicatable climate amde it little dificult for us to reach the destination .. it was raining every now and then and the rocks became sluggish and slippery .. i flipped few times ..
we reached the top at arnd 2 pm and we were just stunned looking at screne ... large blocks of boulders and a unique kind of grass and flowers ..
we had our lunch there ..
we climbed thinking that its the top but it was not the end ,,, it was only the base for staring two days trekk from there to the valley of Chamba..
It started turning dark so we decided to turn back ..
because of lack of time we couldnt complete that trekk but i wud go there again this yr and complete my incomplete journey of himalyan venture..

MCLOWDGANJ




Hey guys ..!

let me tell you about this place called Mclowdganj ..

This is one of the best places i have visited so far..Its ( 8 kms away from Dharmashala )also called the tibetian state in exile and the headquarter of dalai lama is also here .
When we entered the parking area ,It was like we are not in India . The no of foreigners was more that the domestic tourists ..
First came the Tibetian market and at the end was the Lamba Temple ,, a great historical budhist temple with emporium and handicraft market inside the complex ..
1 km away from the market comes the dakshu nath temple ..Fresh himalayan mountain flows from the temple and swiming pool of cold mountain water was just amazing ..
Ahead the temple area was the great waterfall .... it was outstanding experience reaching that water fall .. it took arnd 30 mins for us to reach the waterfall fro mthe temple ..
It was a sunny day but within few mins it started raining .. the climate was changing after every 1o mins .. we all stayed there in a small eating outlet there near the waterfall .. there were tourists all arnd the area taking pics of the amazing screne.... just can't explain those mountains ,, rocks ,,fresh water ,, big boulders and calm and composed crowd ..
There was a lake as well called mini dal lake there with boats to enjoy time there ..
hotel were also not expensve .. it took arnd Rs1000/- per room with night meal ..
if oyu ever get time do visit it ..It s a perfect outing place
