2024 will be the 3rd edition of the Summit Run Indrahar. This, at heart, is a trail run taking you on the Mcleodganj – Triund – Indrahar route. You will be running, ascending on the shoulders of the mighty Dhauladhar range. There will be 4 levels to choose from. We have a summit for everyone.
THE TRAIL
The Triund Trail is a very popular route that takes you from the town of Mcleodganj – Dharamkot to the Triund ridge. It’s a well maintained 1 meter + wide route ideal for trail running.
THE SUMMIT
Indrahar Peak / pass is at 4350 meters (14,271 ft.). This is accessed by climbing further up from Triund towards Lahesh Caves which forms the base of Indrahar summit & Mun Peak. As the locals say, the real mountaineers here are the Gaddi tribe (shepherds) who maintain and use these ancient trails in the vertical landscape.
