Har Ki Dun Trek ( 7 Days/6 Nights )
Uttarakhand
Overview
Har Ki Dun, also known as the Valley of Gods, is situated deep inside Govind Pashu National Park in Uttarakhand. The valley is rich in flora and fauna, with trails often covered in different shades of orchids and other wildflowers.
The trek follows the Supin River through the scenic Garhwali villages of Taluka, Gangad, and Osla. Legends associated with it say that Swargarohini is the path to heaven followed by the Pandavas in the epic Mahabharata. However, the same story is also associated with the Swargarohini steps seen from Satopanth Lake, which lies ahead of Badrinath.
The beautiful Marinda Tal, formed by a huge boulder obstructing the river, can be trekked in an hour from Har Ki Dun, or we can explore the Hata Valley to the north of Har Ki Dun. It will be a long trek, but the hike to the Jaundhar Glacier viewpoint that takes us to the Swargarohini base is also feasible.

- Subsequently, explore Gangaad, which is rich with majestic views, lush greens, wild orchids, and snow-capped peaks. Though this trekking is quite arduous, the pleasant night stay with the stars will soothe the time.
- This is the time to explore Osla town. It is a small town where you will reach after an hour of hiking. Osla is a small village, which is located 8,500 feet above sea level. You can take blessings by visiting Lord Shiva temple and witness the miraculous architecture of the temple.
- The trek from Osla begins by crossing two streams, where the second stream has a wooden bridge to reach the mountain bend. There will be two more meadows below the valley over Supin.
- The wooden bridge will lead you to the grasslands of Dev Thach, Bali Pass, and Ruinsara River. You will witness wheat fields while moving to the inhabited areas. The confluence of Supin and Ruinsara will make your day.

- We will keep the eyes on the glacier basin which has moraines and alpine meadows. Here, swaying and tall pine trees will make your day while crossing the pastures of Dev Thach.
- Here is a place where two rivers meet and then it further bifurcates into two ways. One way brings us to Har Ki Dun and the other takes us to Ruinsara Taal, Bali Pass. The peaks of Har Ki Dun and Hata Peak will propel you while climbing.
- We will keep climbing by putting more and more enthusiasm. After the gradual incline on a wooden bridge, you will reach the Har Ki Dun. Maninda Taal, Borasu Pass, Jaundar Glacier, and Swargarohini peaks are giving you sufficient locations to explore as the bonus of a trekking trip.
