Next morning after the paragliding expedition we decided to go on one day trekking trip, since we were told we could see snowy peaks and amazing views from there
On our way. Every morning on the streets of McLeod Ganj (17000 metres) you can see Tibetan children being brought to school
Some are lucky enough not to walk by themselves
We went by bike from McLeod Ganj through Dharamkot village (2100 metres) till Galu Devi Temple (2130 metres), where we had to park our bike and continue on foot
Getting higher one can enjoy view of McLeod Ganj
Trekker died in Mumbai bombings 2009
The trek. Somewhere on the way we where told by local guide (guiding 2 ladies in 2 days trek) that some people have died on this trek as well
Donkeys carry supplies to Triund hill
Halfway to the top one can enjoy tea and snacks at "Magic View", oldest chai shop on the route
Resting with our guide. At some point this dog just started following us and continued up to the top. Some trekkers we met had even five dogs. They just show you the way and then ask for money
You better watch your steps on this trek

And then we found the snow river, crossed it carefully, made another few hundred meters up and
reached Triund (2975 metres) hill in 3 hours
Small tents with blue roofs are cafes
was not in the crows menu for that day. They preferred Lay's
unlike Val, who was pretty hungry after so much mountain air
Somebody left his socks
We were waiting until the skies would clear up to see snowy mountains
and waited
waited some more
We waited for 4 hours in total and still it was cloudy. The sun started to set and we still had to descend
On our way down we met a lot of food carriers
and a bunch of little girls bravely going the trek. Way back was much more quick and we reached starting point after hour and a half
