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.
