A trekker’s delight, the Har ki Dun trek is the stairway to heaven that will make you fall for its beauty. The thing that makes it an alluring trek is its accessibility both in summer as well as the winter season. Har Ki Dun Valley is situated on the western flank of the Garhwal Himalayas and is very popular with trekkers as well as climbers. The walk to Har Ki Doon Valley is a lovely one with fascinating views of the Swargarohini group of peaks. The Har Ki Dun catchment area is a major source of the Yamuna River System. Har Ki Dun trek takes you through some of the most charismatic alpine meadows and pine forests which is a treat to the eyes. During winters the snow-covered trails of Har Ki Dun Trek look mesmerizing as and when the sun tries to peep behind the clouds. One of the oldest Treks in Himalayas, known as the Valley of Gods, some believe Har ki doon is the same route taken by the Pandavas in the Mahabharata on their ascent to heaven. Swargarohini—the snow peak, the vision of which dominates the Har Ki Doon Trek bears a legacy of the mythical stairway to heaven and this trek gives you a true experience of trekking in Uttarakhand, the land of Gods.
