About Tour Package

Uttarakhand has always been a major attraction for everyone. Whether it is climbing the mighty Himalayas, undertaking age-old pilgrimages, or witnessing the heavenly landscapes, all kinds of diverse experiences can be found here. Known as the Land of Gods, Uttarakhand is home to countless gems, prominent among them being the “Har Ki Doon Valley” or “Har ki Dun Valley.” It is one of the most enchanting valleys in Uttarakhand and is also known as the “Valley of Gods.” The valley is cradle-shaped and is only accessible through trekking.

The route of the Har Ki Dun Trek connects us to ancient times. According to locals, the great Pandavas of the epic Mahabharata took this route on their journey to heaven. This historical significance makes it one of the oldest trekking routes in the Himalayas. The trek is perfect for everyone, including nature lovers, adventure enthusiasts, and photographers, as it offers an opportunity to explore the beauty of Uttarakhand’s culture and the thrill of treks in Uttarakhand in one go.

The trail gained popularity as a trekking destination in India after 1937 when famous mountaineers Jack Gibson and Tenzing Norgay explored the valley during their Bandarpunch expedition. After their visit, the trek secured a prominent position among the most famous treks in India, revealing its rich traditions and culture to the world.

Har Ki Dun trek starts from Sankri and passes through Taluka village, dense forests of deodar and pine, alpine meadows, and cascading waterfalls. The trek takes you through some of the most remote hill villages like Dhatmeer, Gangad and Osla while crossing the Tons River where you can immerse yourself in the traditional culture and lifestyle of the region. The trek is located within the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary & National Park in the western part of Uttarakhand which offers a diverse range of flora and fauna. You may spot musk deer, Himalayan griffon, black bear, and various bird species. The trek reaches a maximum altitude of 11,600 feet above sea level and the totaltrek distance is approximately 34 km. Starting from the Sankri base camp, it can be completed within 4-5 days. However, the time to reach the base camp may vary depending on your hometown.
