Har Ki Dun Trek – Valley of Gods in Uttarakhand
The Har Ki Dun trek is one of the most scenic and popular trekking destinations in Uttarakhand’s Garhwal Himalayas. Situated at the base of Fateh Parvat at an altitude of 11,768 feet, this valley is famously known as the “Valley of Gods.”Surrounded by snow-covered peaks, alpine meadows, pine forests, and glacier-fed rivers, Har Ki Dun offers a magical trekking experience for both beginners and experienced trekkers.
The trail to Har Ki Dun passes through the pristine Govind National Park, home to a rich variety of flora, fauna, and exotic bird species. Trekkers are often greeted by vibrant flowers, Himalayan mammals, and playful langurs near Puani Garaat. Along with its natural beauty, the valley holds great mythological significance. Legend says the Pandavas once took this route to ascend to heaven via the majestic Swargarohini Peak, which dominates the Har Ki Dun valley.
From Har Ki Dun, trekkers are rewarded with panoramic views of iconic Himalayan peaks such as Swargarohini I, II, III, Bandarpoonch, Black Peak, and the Ruinsara range. The diverse landscape, ranging from lush green meadows to rugged terrains, makes this trek a paradise for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and photographers.

The stretch from Kalkatiyadhaar (2,730 m / 8,956 ft.) to Har Ki Dun Valley (3,566 m / 11,768 ft.) is often described as the most spectacular part of the Har Ki Dun trek. Spanning 5 km with an elevation gain of 2,812 ft, this section offers unmatched views, diverse landscapes, and fascinating glimpses into Himalayan geography.
The trail begins with a steady climb, soon leading to the scenic pastures of Dev Thach, a lush alpine meadow where two rivers meet. This confluence marks a significant point in the trek, as the valley splits into two directions — the left opening into the legendary Har Ki Dun Valley, while the right leads towards Ruinsara Tal and Bali Pass.
As you progress further, the path rewards you with breathtaking vistas of Har Ki Dun Peak and Hata Peak, standing tall against the horizon. The landscape transforms from grassy slopes into dense pine forests and charming glades, punctuated by small waterfalls cascading down the ridges. A short, steep climb brings you to level ground where snow patches begin to appear, especially during late autumn and spring.
The route continues through a forest stretch with a gradual incline before finally approaching the entrance of Har Ki Dun Valley. A rustic wooden bridge over a glacial stream marks the last crossing. Beyond this point, the valley opens dramatically, divided by a rivulet into two routes — one leading to Maninda Tal and Borasu Pass, and the other towards the Jaundar Glacier.
This approach to Har Ki Dun, often referred to as the “Valley of Gods”, combines myth, adventure, and Himalayan beauty in a way few treks can match. The sheer grandeur of the landscapes makes this section the crown jewel of the trek.
After soaking in the views and exploring the surroundings, trekkers retrace their steps back to Kalkatiyadhaar (2,730 m / 8,956 ft.). The descent is easier, and by evening, you return to the campsite for an overnight stay, ending the most rewarding section of the trek.

The stretch from Kalkatiyadhaar (2,730 m / 8,956 ft.) to Har Ki Dun Valley (3,566 m / 11,768 ft.) is often described as the most spectacular part of the Har Ki Dun trek. Spanning 5 km with an elevation gain of 2,812 ft, this section offers unmatched views, diverse landscapes, and fascinating glimpses into Himalayan geography.
The trail begins with a steady climb, soon leading to the scenic pastures of Dev Thach, a lush alpine meadow where two rivers meet. This confluence marks a significant point in the trek, as the valley splits into two directions — the left opening into the legendary Har Ki Dun Valley, while the right leads towards Ruinsara Tal and Bali Pass.
As you progress further, the path rewards you with breathtaking vistas of Har Ki Dun Peak and Hata Peak, standing tall against the horizon. The landscape transforms from grassy slopes into dense pine forests and charming glades, punctuated by small waterfalls cascading down the ridges. A short, steep climb brings you to level ground where snow patches begin to appear, especially during late autumn and spring.
The route continues through a forest stretch with a gradual incline before finally approaching the entrance of Har Ki Dun Valley. A rustic wooden bridge over a glacial stream marks the last crossing. Beyond this point, the valley opens dramatically, divided by a rivulet into two routes — one leading to Maninda Tal and Borasu Pass, and the other towards the Jaundar Glacier.
This approach to Har Ki Dun, often referred to as the “Valley of Gods”, combines myth, adventure, and Himalayan beauty in a way few treks can match. The sheer grandeur of the landscapes makes this section the crown jewel of the trek.
After soaking in the views and exploring the surroundings, trekkers retrace their steps back to Kalkatiyadhaar (2,730 m / 8,956 ft.). The descent is easier, and by evening, you return to the campsite for an overnight stay, ending the most rewarding section of the trek.

At Trekkaro, we redefine the trekking experience with our Free Trekking Gear (FTG) initiative — a game-changer in the adventure travel industry. We equip our trekkers with top-tier trekking gear at zero additional cost, including premium Decathlon products like:
• Shoes (worth Rs. 6,999)
• Insulated Jackets (-10° C) (worth Rs. 3,299)
• Trekking Poles (worth Rs. 1,299)
This ensures every adventurer, whether first-time or experienced, can enjoy the mountains without the financial burden of buying expensive gear. It's trekking made accessible, safe, and seamless.
1. Gear Built for the Mountains
Our high-performance tents and sleeping bags are engineered for extreme alpine conditions.
• Sleeping Bags: Designed to endure temperatures as low as -5°C to -20°C
• Tents: Provide additional insulation and wind protection for a warm, secure rest each night
We are always prepared for unpredictable mountain weather — and encourage trekkers to share any safety concerns with our team for quick support.
2. Health Monitoring: Daily Oxygen & Pulse Checks
Your well-being is our priority. For high-altitude treks, we conduct daily oxygen saturation and pulse monitoring (as needed) before and during the trek.
This proactive step helps us:
• Detect early signs of altitude sickness
• Make informed decisions for your safety
• Ensure every trekker remains fit and comfortable throughout the journey
3. Emergency Support & Medical Backup
- Oxygen Cylinders & Medical Kit:
Altitude affects everyone differently. Our guides are equipped with portable oxygen cylinders and essential first-aid medicines for immediate use in case of altitude-related symptoms.
Tip for trekkers: Stay physically prepared — activities like running, cycling, and swimming greatly improve endurance at high altitudes.
- Stretchers at Every Campsite:
In case of emergencies or injuries, stretchers are available at all campsites, ensuring a safe and swift evacuation to base camp for further care.
- Radio Communication Across Camps:
Cell networks can be unreliable in the mountains. To bridge the gap, our camps and guides stay connected via a dedicated radio communication system, ensuring quick response in cases of bad weather, missing items, or medical needs.
4. Technical Support on Snowy Slopes
For treks involving snow-covered or technically challenging terrain, our trained technical team is deployed to assist. They ensure:
• Proper route safety
• Emergency handling
• Support in difficult sections like icy slopes or narrow ridgelines
With Trekkaro, you’re always in safe and experienced hands — so you can focus on what truly matters: the adventure of a lifetime.
