Can a trip to Galllu waterfall be combined with the trek to Triund? Is this on the way to that trek?

Yes, it can—but not directly. Gallu Waterfall is located near Gallu Devi Temple, which is also the starting point for the popular Triund Trek. However, the waterfall is on a different trail and is not on the way to Triund. If you have enough time, you can visit both in the same trip. Many travelers trek to Triund on Day 1 (or stay overnight at the top) and visit Gallu Waterfall on a separate day. If you're planning both on the same day, start early and keep an eye on the weather, as the waterfall trail can become slippery and dangerous during or after heavy rain.
