Travelling Himachal - Triund, Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh


Triund is a small hill in the Kangra district in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. The Triund Hill Station is a part of Dharamkot. Triund is at the foot of the Dhauladhar ranges and is at a height of 2,828 m.

Triund Hill

Triund is a large land of green grass. One can see the mighty Dhauladhar ranges just above the eyes. The ridge elevation is between 2,810 and 2,875 metres. It is a one-day trek approx. 10 kilometres (one way) from Mcleod Ganj bus stand and under 6 kilometres (one way) from Galu temple near Dharamkot. The trail is rocky and cut in steps at some places. From Galu devi temple there is an unambiguous byway which goes through a beautiful forest of oak and devdar trees. This stretch through the woods is known as 22 Curves, because of the 22 switchbacks one has to walk through to reach Triund.


Transportation and connectivity


The road transport of the near is a Pathankot to Gaggal then to Dharamsala and New Delhi to the Chandigarh and then to Kangra and finally Dharamsala.
The nearest railway stations on the Shimla-Kangra of narrow gauge line are at Jassur (Nurpur, Kangra, and Himachal Pradesh) and Paror railway stop near Nagrota (about 20 km south of Dharamsala). The nearest rail head of broad gauge is at Pathankot (about 85 km).
Gaggal Airport (which is also known as Kangra Airport) to Gaggal market and turn left for Dharamsala no need to go Kangra.
And then from Dharamshala to Mcleod Ganj. From there trek will begin from Dharamkot.
There is another trek which goes by Bhagsu waterfall and Shiva Cafe, but this trek is quite difficult and challenging. So trek from Dharamkot is preferred.

 Triund Campsite

Triund Campsite is a base camp and acclimatisation point for trekkers climbing the Inderahara point in the Mt. Dhauladhar. For trekkers the view of the evening sky from Triund is a good enough reason to pitch a tent here for the night. The length of the trek makes it apt for a weekend.

Co-exist

We live in a world where different kinds of creatures co-exist. Is it my world, is it theirs, or is it everybody's? A normal person using common sense should say, "This world is everybody's" . Every creature has its own existence in this world. We, humans, are the most vulnerable of all. We need a family to survive, this is how 'homo-sapiens' are meant to grow. Give child love while he is growing, fill its center with love, talk love, feed love act love, and he will definitely flourish into a lovable human being. ( a little off the topic:/ ) So, we humans modify our surroundings according to our needs, we build apartments, we build roads, computers, and whatnot. Now look at the other creatures, birds, for example, build their nest on that same apartment's balcony, dogs and cats are getting food living off the roads, mice, squirrels, and so on... They adapted to the human way of living. Each being is living in its own dimension and these dimensions are co-e

आज, अभी, इसी पल।

हम  जन्मे  हैं  हम  मरेंगे। जो  चाहते  हैं  करना  वो  कब  करेंगे? कहते  हैं  कल  करेंगे।  होता  वो  कल  भी  आज  ही  है।।   बिता  हुआ  कल  भी  आज  ही  था  और।  आने  वाला  कल  भी  आज  ही  होगा। सोचो  इस  बात  की  गहराई  को।।  तो  जो  करना  है  वो  कल  क्यों। आज  क्यों   नहीं,  अभी  क्यों  नहीं ? खुदसे  धोकाधड़ी  कर  रहे  हैं  हम। खुदसे  झूठ  बोलते  हैं  हम।।   फस  गए  हैं  इन  डोरों  में  हम। ये  डोरें  बुनी  भी  हमने  ही  हैं।।     सोचते  हो  की  आएगा  वो  पल। तो  जान  लो  की  यही  है  वो  पल।।  मुश्किल  नहीं  है  इतना। जितना  चाहत  को  हमने  बना  दिया।।  सब  जानते  हुए  भी  क्यों  बनते  हैं  अनजान  हम। अरे  इतने  अनजान  तो  ना  हैं  हम।।  काल  करे  सो  आज  कर, आज  करे  सो  अब।  पल  में  प्रलय  होएगी  बहुरि  करेगा  कब। ।  -  कबीर  दास।  टिप्पणी  जरूर  करें।

।। चक्रव्यूह।।

मत  बांधो  इन  बंधनों  में  मुझे।  आजाद  हूँ  आजाद  रहने  दो।। जीता  हूँ  जीने  दो।  मरता  हूँ  मरने  दो।। अरे  छोड़  दो  मुझे  मेरे  हाल  पे।  जो  है  ही  नहीं  वो  बता  कर  डराते  हो  मुझे। जरा  समझने  की  कोशिश  तो  करो।।  भटक  चुके  थे  बचपन  में  ही,  नादान  थे  समझ  न  थी।  तुम  भटकाते  रहे  और  हम  भटकते  रहे।।  अब  मुझे  मेरा  रास्ता  खुद  ढूंढ़ने  दो।  वजह  न  बनो  मेरे  भटकने  की।।  तुम्हारा  ख्याल  है  मुझे,  न  कभी  भूल  पाउँगा।  भरोसा  रखो  कुछ  कर  दिखाऊंगा।। जो  अब  तक  हुआ  है, अच्छा  हुआ  है।  और  अब  जो  होगा  वो  भी  अच्छा  ही  होगा। यूँ   ही  सहानुभूत्ति  देते  रहो। वक़्त  आएगा  जब  सब  समझ  में  आएगा।।
