Triund
  • Seventeen kilometers from Dharamshala Triund lies
    at the foot of the perpetually snow-clad
    Dhauladhar at the height of 2,827 meters. The
    snow line starts at llaqa, five kilometers from
    Triund, and affords breathtaking view of the
    snows above and the valley below. It is a popular
    picnic and trekking spot.

    Dal Lake not as large as its illustrious
    namesake in Kashmir, the lake lying amidst the
    hills and surrounded by fir trees, has a certain
    charm all of its own. Close to the cantonment,
    the annual fair in September is largely attended
    by Gaddis and other hillmen.

  • Directly above Upper Dharamsala is the small hill
    of Dharamkot whose summit, 2,100 meters (6,890
