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.

Catalog entry
Moderate
- SAC T2–T3
- Mountain hiking. Continuous trail, some steep ground, sure-footedness helpful. through Demanding mountain hiking. Exposed sections possible; hands may be needed for balance.
- YDS Class 1
- Class 1. Walking on an established path; low fall risk.
Stored distance is 10.08 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (9.46 km), not the published line length.
Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 8110653 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the 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 figure is the evidence-sheet 10.08 km for relation 8110653.
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 figure. 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.
