Har ki Dun Valley Trek

Har ki Dun Valley Trek

Overview

The Har Ki Dun trek unfolds like a storybook journey, beginning at the quaint village of Sankri. As trekkers weave through ancient forests and charming meadows, they’re greeted by panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, including Swargarohini and Bandarpooch. The trail, marked by the gushing Supin River, leads to the idyllic Har Ki Dun valley, known as the “Valley of Gods.”

En route, trekkers encounter a diverse range of flora and fauna, from oak and pine forests to Himalayan birds like the Monal. The highlight of the trek is the surreal Har Ki Dun valley itself, surrounded by alpine meadows and flanked by towering peaks. Trekkers often find solace in the tranquil Osla village, known for its centuries-old temples and warm hospitality.
