A rewarding walk is up to the small Gallu Devi Temple above Dharamkot. From Dharamkot's Himalayan Tea Shop take the track along the left side of the water tank opposite, and after 50m turn up the path to the right. This becomes a lovely stone path winding up through the forest. Turn right when it emerges on a jeep track after 1km, and in 500m you reach Gallu Devi, with a couple of cafes and guesthouses nearby and panoramas both north and south.
From Gallu Devi one track leads gently west downhill to Naddi village (2.5km) and Dal Lake (3km); another heads about 2km north down to a waterfall; and the main track heads on east through rhododendron woods up to the panoramic little mountain meadow of Triund (2900m), a walk of about 6km that gains some 800m altitude in a strenuous 2½ to three hours.
