Adam Gilchrist had a tryst with Triund Trek in McLeodganj

DHARAMSHALA: Trekking paradise "Triund" situated near McLeodganj that had been in a state of neglect was rejuvenated after the unexpected arrival of the Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist, who had a tryst with the short trek on Friday evening.
Kings XI team has won the match played against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday and probably, the cricket star opted for trekking to make best use of the off-time, before the match between Kings XI and Delhi Daredevils. When Gilly arrived at Dharamkot village, also known as mini Israel, residents were stunned but overjoyed. He was accompanied by some of his managing team members and some cops.
"We are very happy that Adam Gilchrist reached our village. This place is aloof from the IPL hordes but the cricketer has kindled the joy of people involved in the tourism industry," said Rammurti Sharma, a villager.
Adam Gilchrist and his associates went till the "Galloon" (a spot on the way to Triund) from Dharamkot village crossing. The trip remained a secret till the time news broke and fans reached the place in large numbers. Last year, the Kings team visited Bhagsunag waterfall situated at a corner of McLeodganj.
