Barot Overview

Barot FRH is located on the right bank of the river Uhl, at an altitude of 1,835m. This is a part of the Joginder Nagar Forest Division and has five sets of rooms. Barot came into prominence in the 1920s when the Shannan hydro-power project was constructed with holding tanks at Barot. The Kangra Valley Railway was built to ferry material to the base at Jogindernagar and from there, a haulage trolley transported equipment four thousand feet up the hillside and lowered it an equal distance on the other side. Both the railway and the trolley exist to the present-day. By road, the access to Barot is from Jhatingri where the rulers of Mandi had a summer-palace. The magnificent forests around Barot are a part of the Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary and abound in a variety of fiora and fauna; plants include

Itinerary For Triund Trek & Camping, McLeod Ganj

1

Day 1 - Trek to Triund (Dharmakot to Triund)- 8 km long trek

  • 10:00 AM - Meet us at Dharamkot/Bhagsunag, which is less than 2 km from McLeodganj. We will start our trek from here. Prepare yourself to watch the scenic views of nature.
  • For beginners, this trek will take around 4-5 hours. We will move at a comfortable pace, exploring the trail, peeking through the dense forest, drinking in the brilliant vista.
  • We will reach Triund before the sunset as that is the one thing that you cannot miss on this trek. Once you’ve witnessed the absolute beauty of the sunset, you can never forget it for life.� 
  • � In the star-studded night time, we will start our story-swapping session around the campfire, and enjoy our scrumptious dinner.
  • � Around 10:00 PM - You can retire to your tent for the night.

Day 2 - Sunrise at Triund and back to Dharamkot!

  • Wake early to enjoy the sunrise. The other thing that you can’t miss on this memorable trek along with the sunset, is the sunrise. The view of the sky rapidly changing colors with the rising sun is more than just beautiful - it takes your breath away.
  • After enjoying the sunrise, you can relax for a while, have breakfast, and prepare for the day’s upcoming trek.
  • This day, we’ll have to start really early since we’ll be retracing the steps that we covered in the past day. However, since the way is mostly a descent, it is easier even for first-timers, and faster.
  • We’ll keep the pace comfortable and enjoy the enthralling trek back.
  • In the evening, we reach Dharamkot, where this journey ends.
