The total trekking distance is approximately 9 kilometers and takes around 4-5 hours to complete.

While the trek itself doesn&#8217;t have a big history, the area is special because of its culture. McLeod Ganj, where the trek starts, is known for its connection to Tibetan culture and Buddhism. After the Tibetan uprising in 1959, many Tibetans found safety in McLeod Ganj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The region is important because it&#8217;s close to Dharamshala, where the Dalai Lama lives. Tibetan monasteries and the Tibetan government-in-exile are also here, making the area have a unique cultural feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, Triund may not have a detailed history as a trekking spot, but places nearby, like McLeod Ganj and Dharamshala, have a fascinating cultural and historical background linked to Tibetan Buddhism and the Tibetan community in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Triund_Trek_Height_and_Distance\"><\/span>Triund Trek Height and Distance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Triund trek is a popular trekking route in the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas, near McLeod Ganj in Himachal Pradesh, India.
