    Trip Description

    The mystical and refreshing Har Ki Dun trek hails in the beautiful land of Uttarakhand. Being an Easy to Moderate difficulty level trek really makes it a trek for just about anyone. The trek lasts seven days and takes one to a maximum altitude of 12,000 ft. The approximate trekking distance is 44 kilometres. Being a winter wonderland makes the Har Ki Dun Trek a trekkers’ delight. It’s a stairway to heaven, and one cannot but fall for its beauty. A very catchy part about being on the Har Ki Dun Trek is its reputation for being an all-season trek. 

    The Har Ki Dun Trek stays open for enthusiastic trekkers in summer or winter. The location of Har Ki Dun valley is in Garhwal’s western flank of the Uttarkashi district. So, climbers 

    and trekkers both flank to the valley for an adventure of a lifetime. The walk to the Har Ki Dun valley is a mesmerizing experience by itself, with the views of the Swargarohini group of peaks all around. Har Ki Dun is also the primary source of water supply for the Yamuna’s largest tributary. When at the Har Ki Dun trek, one passes by a few of the most magnificent pine forests and alpine meadows, absolute delights for the visitors. The view of snow-covered peaks in winter is unforgettable as the sun peeps from behind the clouds. 

    Har Ki Dun is essentially among the oldest treks in the Himalayas. It is believed that the Pandavas from 

    the Mahabharata took this route when they ascended to the heavens. Swargarohini is a snow peak visible throughout this trek. The peak is associated with the legacy of being a stairway to heaven. Camping in the environs of the flowing river is another premium experience that the trek makes available for visitors. Flora and fauna of the landscape are unique and present a vibe not experienced elsewhere in the world. The peaks visible include Swargarohini – I, II, and III, Black peak and Bandarpoonch. Another one of the key attractions of the trek is that one comes across some ancient villages inhabited for over 2000 years. With the picturesque sights and sounds that the trek has for the offering, photographers love to be on the trek, aside from nature lovers and adventure seekers. For birdwatching, the trek is a premium experience. One also comes across the temple of Osla when at this trek, which is dedicated to Prince Duryodhana. As a 5 millennia-old establishment, the temple has been carved beautifully.
