Detailed Itinerary

Har-Ki-Doon, the hanging valley of Gods is a treat for trekkers. This moderate trek takes you to one of the least explored regions of Garhwal. The best time to go for this trek is either June or October. The rest of the year is either very cold or wet , or the valley is mostly shrouded by clouds. The beautiful scenery and the glistening snow clad Swargarohini peak are the main attractions. Har-Ki-Doon falls within the Govind pashu Vihar, and chances of seeing wildlife are very bright. In September - october, chances of seeing wild flowers are also good. Osla, one of the most beautiful villages in the Fateh Parvat region, should not be missed. Here, you have a beautifully carved temple dedicated to Duryodhana, the kaurava Prince. And if you are interested in glaciers than Jaundhar Glacier at 4300m is just above five kilometers from har-ki-Doon. It is a steep climb and requires some mountaineering skills.
