Byline

  • The Hiking World editorial · author

    Desk byline for seed records. Named surveying editors replace this once a trail is verified.

Figures marked provisional are seed data and still need verification. Source and last-checked date sit under each cited value.

Altitude weather delta

High 3,234 m minus low 1,335 m is 1,899 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 12.3 °C cooler at the high point than the valley, all else equal.

That is a model (International Standard Atmosphere environmental lapse), not a forecast and not a trail-closure. Wind, snow, and storms stay in Hazards.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 8110653 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the Wave I-2 evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-19). Season was not sourced. SAC is OSM-sourced mountain_hiking (max demanding_mountain_hiking) (T2–T3, ODbL, lastVerified 2026-09-19); YDS is the site cross-walk, still provisional.

OSM 2D length is 10.08 km (OSM line, ODbL, relation 8110653, lastVerified 2026-09-19). Provisional — OSM line, no cited itinerary. MERGE page: Galu Devi–Triund 15522720 is an absorbed approach, not this measured Kandi 8110653 line. Ingest stored assembly 10.3 km. The published DataPoint is the evidence-sheet 10.08 km for relation 8110653.

typicalDays 1 is Math.round(lengthKm/12), a placeholder. Days are unknown on the evidence sheet and stay provisional.

High 3,234 m is Copernicus GLO-30 (lastVerified 2026-09-19). Wikipedia cites the Triund meadow at 2,850 m (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triund, accessed 2026-09-19, CC BY-SA) — Δ384 m; the mapped line extends above the meadow toward Laka. Record the DEM high; treat 2,850 m as the meadow landmark, not this DataPoint. Geometry-trim candidate — written as-is. Low 1,335 m is the same DEM resample, verified. Ascent 1,342 m / descent 597 m remain provisional DEM.
