For just a two-day weekend trip to Dharamsala, Kuljot Singh is carrying quite a huge backpack. But that’s because he and his friends have also planned a trek to the nearby hills, which requires them to carry trekking shoes and other equipment along, before they return for Sunday’s India v New Zealand World Cup fixture. This is a norm for most young visitors from neighbouring states who drive into this hilly town for a match and combine it with a trek along the Himalayan slopes.
“We will be trekking to Triund [which offers breathtaking views of the snow-covered Dhauladhar ranges and ascends to a height of 7,000 to 9,000 feet, depending on the camp site] on Sunday morning. It’s a half-day trek after which we will head to the HPCA Stadium for the match,” Kuljot, who works for a MNC in Noida, tells
mid-day.
