Focused on relaxing and recharging his batteries before resuming the World Cup 2023 grind a week later against defending champions England, India head coach Rahul Dravid took his support staff personnel to the famous Triund Trek in Dharamshala. 

Enjoying a rare seven-day break before the next league stage encounter of the tournament in Lucknow, Dravid made it a point to lead India's support staff to the popular trek and soak in the calming scenes of the Dhauladhar mountains. The coach said he missed the players part of the Indian team, who have currently spread across the country with their families.

In a video shared by the BCCI, Dravid alongside batting coach Vikram Rathour, fielding coach T Dilip and the rest of the support staff were seen relishing the opportunity to visit the famous tourist spot and enjoy the weather up at among the highest points from the sea. 

The Triund Trek has gained in immense popularity and become a destination for frequent touring turnout during the ongoing World Cup. Earlier, the Sky Sports commentary panel featuring Nasser Hussain and Mike Atherton had reached the beautiful place as well and given the spot the boost of viewership and interest it deserves amongst tourists. 


Dravid Reaches Triund Trek; Missed Team India Stars 

Speaking in the heartening video posted by the Indian board on Wednesday (October 25), Dravid hailed the "superb" views that warmed the tourists' hearts when they reach the top of the Triund Trek. 

"Superb view coming up to Triund. Just getting here, you are going up the mountain, climbing. It's a challenging trek, I must admit it," said the Indian legend. "Once you come here, the views are breathtaking, spectacular. It's incredible for the support staff to be able to come here. Just a great day out as well."



Dravid said given the route of the Trek isn't well structured and constructed, the Triund could be a risky visit for the players in the Indian team. But urged them to take time out for the tourist destination once they are done with playing duties in the years to follow. 

"Unfortunately, can't bring the boys up here, a bit too risky walking on those stones," said Dravid. "But hopefully, one day when they are not playing (any tournament), I would love for some of the boys to come here and experience this."
