The first time I read about the Mcleodganj-Triund trek was back in 2016, while I was struggling at my CPT classes. I really liked the photos of this place. But never thought I'd ever go there. In 2018, I have been to Mcleodganj twice. I'd mostly go to the monasteries and the waterfalls. But this time we made it to the top. To be honest, it is an easy trek, for many. Even a kid could have reached the top. It is a 4 km long trek that lasts one day max. But, things were different in our case. We took the long (wrong) route which was around 9 km long and dangerous due to the rain and since nobody told us we were going the wrong way, we kept on going. It was really hard and we were let down a lot of times. In fact we even thought of going back at a point. But there was something that didn't let us go. It was like 'the mountains were calling'. So we kept on going, putting behind all the big and small problems. We made it to the top. Being there at the top and experiencing this amazing feeling which we have never felt before made us realise that all those struggles have actually paid off. And we stood at the top. This might sound a lot filmy, but honestly I wasn't anymore scared of anything up there. Atleast for a brief period of time
