Har ki Dun or Valley of the Gods is one of the most beautiful valleys in Uttarakhand. Hidden in the Garhwal mountains, the trek soars to an altitude of 3,500 meters taking you on an adventure of a lifetime through the quaint villages, gorgeous rivers, and expansive meadows. The trek rewards you with the enchanting views of Swargarohini Peak, Hata Peak, and Black Peak among others. Legends have it that the trail was the same route taken to heaven by the Pandavas in the Mahabharata. Swargarohini Peak, which bears the legacy of the ‘stairway to heaven’, dominates the view for the most part of the trail. Also known as the ‘Winter Wonderland’, Har ki Dun tops the chart of the best winter treks in Uttarakhand. The snow-laden trails make it a magical place to be in the winter season. That’s not all! Experience the slice of Garhwali mountain life as you pass through ancient villages as old as 2,000 years. These quaint hamlets are untouched by modern civilization and have still kept the old mountain traditions and culture alive. Har ki Dun is not only a visual treat for mountain lovers but also an excellent moderate-level trek for beginners to push their limits.

Tour Plan

We begin our journey by driving to Sankri, a quaint village located 197 km from Dehradun. Expect to reach Sankri in the evening. We will stay in guest houses where trekkers can freshen up and get a good night's sleep for the next day.

Trail: We start early in the morning with an hour-long jeep ride from Sankri to Taluka, a picturesque hamlet surrounded by majestic mountains. After a small refreshment break in Taluka, we commence our trek through deciduous forests and scenic landscapes. The trail follows along the Supin River and is flanked by walnut, pine, and cedar trees. The hike is beautiful and easy with gradual ascents.

Campsite: Pauni Garaat is a beautiful campsite by the banks of the Supin River. Enjoy a hot dinner and sleep tight in your tents

Trail: The trail meanders through lush forests, Amaranth farms, and gushing rivers with occasional boulder climbing and river crossings. Once we have crossed the Seema village, the trail becomes steep. However, the astounding views of Dhauladhar ranges on the incline will keep you motivated.

Campsite: The trail culminates at Kalkatiyadhar, an open lush meadow, and your campsite for the day. Bask in the expansive views of the valley and the gleaming sun as you acclimatize and prepare yourself for the summit the next day.

Trail: Today is the D-day! We begin our summit with a captivating sunrise after breakfast. The trail is a mix of steep and moderate ascents, traversing glacier basins with moraines, frozen waterfalls, and alpine meadows.

Thrilling point: The last leg of the climb is the real test of determination and courage. It includes a steep incline of 45 degrees which can become seemingly difficult in the presence of snow.

Milestone of the day: Once you reach the top, the marvelous glimpses of Swargrohini, Hata Peak, and Black Peak will take your breath away. Soak in the views before we begin the descent back to our campsite.

Trail: The journey back is fairly easy and downhill. On our way back, we will take our time to explore the ancient Osla village.

Campsite: Wake up to the mesmerizing views of the sunrise from the Kalkatiyadhaar campsite.

Milestone of the day: The 2,000-year-old Someshwar Temple is the main attraction of the village. Spend some time chatting with the locals and admiring the impressive two-storey wooden houses. We will head back to Pauni Garaat and spend the night there.

Today, we can take it easy as we will be descending throughout the day and in the last a short ascent to dhatmeer . Be careful not to exert too much pressure on your knees. Embrace the peaceful surroundings as you stroll along the Supin River. Before you know it, we will reach Dhatmeer where jeeps will be waiting for you to transfer you to Sankri.

After breakfast, we bid farewell to the serene surroundings of the mountain village as we prepare to check out. We will follow the same route as we drove on the first day. Expect to reach Dehradun by 9 PM.
