This is Triund.

At 2900 mts above sea level, 9 kms away from Indrahaar pass, Southern Himalayan Range (Dhauladhar Range).

There was no electricity but just some solar battery panels, the only food available was Maggi and Rice. No motorable road from McLeod Gunj to Triund which is 9 kms away and 1200 mts high.

Just 2 sheds which can provide shelter at night (one can be seen on the right) other than the tea/snack shaks.

P.S – View this photo in the original size to appreciate the full beauty.

Here is another picture which i recently found on the net capturing a similar view of the same location.

Army of clouds battling with the light,
Pouring in the middle n sweat on the side,
Monsoon arrives n sky gets some color,
Nice lil bath n lady earth is a winner.
