A winter wonderland and a trekkers delight, the Har Ki Doon Trek is a 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 at the western flank of Garhwal in the Uttarkashi district is very popular with trekkers as well as climbers. It is a lovely walk to the Har Ki Dun valley with fascinating views of the Swargarohini group of peaks. Har Ki Dun catchment area is a major source of the Yamuna River System and the main source of the largest tributary of Yamuna.

It 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 look mesmerizing as and when the sun tries to peep behind the clouds. One of the oldest Treks in the Himalayas, known as the Valley of Gods, some believe its the same route taken by the Pandavas in the Mahabharata on their ascent to heaven. Swargarohini—the snow peak, the vision of which dominates this trek bears a legacy of the mythical stairway to heaven.

Other attractions include the temple at Osla which is dedicated to Duryodhana, which was built by the inhabitants of Saur. It is about 13km from Sankri which lies on the steep mountain trail to Har Ki Doon. It is a 5,000-year formation of wooden chambers that are carved elegantly.

The challenge of Har Ki Doon, besides the long hours of trekking for 6 long hours is fighting with frequent rain. The peak time of the year for this trek is not winter after a snowfall but in summer frequented by rain. Proceeding through green foliages dripping with pearls of rain is a beautiful experience but trekkers must be well equipped for it. Rain trekking essential like a poncho, waterproof covers, anti-diarrhea medicines, and water-resistant trekking boots is a must before this trek. Whatever the conditions are, this trek surely gives you the vibes of visiting a wonderland.

Har Ki Dun is graded an easy to moderate trek and takes you along one of the most ancient trek routes and isolated civilizations high up in the Himalayas. From December to March, you can expect snow on the trail while in April, the snow starts to melt letting the greenery sprout and come to life. While Har Kid Dun is an easy grade trek but the distance covered is relatively more than other easy grade treks and as such the trekker needs to be physically fit. The trail can be difficult to find at times but there is no worry, our team of mountaineering-certified trek leaders and guides know the route well and ensure that you do not meander off from the trail.
