What is the real name of Triund

Triund the Jewel of Dharamsala, the smart city. Dharamsala a small town of Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh. This town was well famous for having been surrounded by Cedar or Deodars trees.

We still have Deodars, but their number is declining in main Dharamshala and near by tourist attractions. Mcleodganj,Naddi and Bhagsu Nag are famous points of attraction in Dharamshala local.

Earlier, the area between Mcleodganj and BhagsuNag was thickly covered by Devdar trees. But now, most have been replaced by multi-storey hotels.

Trimund or Triund, used to be the grazing ground for the migrating flock of the sheep and goats of local shepherds.

From the month of May end, the gaddi shepherds used to graze their flock of sheep and goat in and around Triund. With coming of June end and July, they used to cross over Indrahar Pass. After crossing Indrahar pass, they move in to the deep green valleys of Chamba and Lahaul.

But with the increase of tourist activities and trash, the shepherds now have stopped staying in Triund and just move on to Laka. Now the shepherds even skip their stay in the area of SnowLine café.

Few people even spell Triumd as Tryund or Triond.

Triumd or Triund. Triund, word alliterated from Triumd. Which now is famous as Triund only. Trimund generally means, a point where three trail heads connect.
