About the Trek
Har Ki Dun Trek is one of the most scenic and culturally rich trekking experiences in Uttarakhand, taking you deep into the beautiful Govind Pashu Vihar National Park. Often known as the “Valley of Gods,” Har Ki Dun is a cradle-shaped valley surrounded by magnificent Himalayan peaks, alpine meadows, dense forests, cascading streams and traditional mountain villages.
The trek begins from Sankri, the gateway to the Har Ki Dun valley, and follows the scenic Supin River through forests and traditional villages such as Taluka, Seema and Osla. Along the trail, trekkers get to experience the unique lifestyle, architecture and culture of the Jaunsari communities.
As you gradually ascend towards Har Ki Dun, the landscape transforms from dense forests and riverside trails into expansive alpine meadows with spectacular views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks, including the Swargarohini massif.
With its combination of Himalayan scenery, village culture, wildlife, forests and alpine landscapes, Har Ki Dun is an excellent choice for travellers looking for a memorable Himalayan trekking adventure.
