Har ki Dun Trek
Wanderland Adventures · Dehra Dun
Located in the middle of the cradle shaped valley below Fateh Parvat,
Har-ki-Dun Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Western
Himalayas. This valley can be reached by trekking through Govind
National Park. The park is known for its rich variety of flora and fauna.
Har-ki-Dun or “Valley of the Gods” is a U shaped valley with a terrific
contrast of alpine meadows along ridges and glacier basins, surrounded
by towering peaks. Trekkers also have the opportunity to explore the
Himalayan wildlife as well.The trails are quite manageable and not high on
gradient. The trek promises a good view of the towering 5000 to 6000
meter Himalayan peaks, namely Swaragrohini massif, Fateh Parvat,
Kalanag and Bandarpoonch ranges. The village life as seen at Osla, Sankri
and Taluka is an experience in itself, it feels as if the native village tribes
of the region have frozen in time. The local villagers of the valley are
known as Parwati and claim their descent from the “Pandavas”. From
temples, to caves, to scenic villages, to rocky mountain peaks, to glaciers,
to the wonderful local architecture, this trek promises a mixture of
natural beauty and history!
