Har-ki-doon Valley Trek

Description

Upcoming Group Trips: 28th Mar to 3rd Apr 2026

Har-ki-doon translates to ‘Valley of Gods’, and the valley of Gods it is!

Har-ki-doon valley is situated in Govind Pashu National Park in the upper reaches of Garhwal Himalayas. The area was declared a national park in 1955 in order to protect wildlife such as the elusive snow leopard, brown bear, flying squirrel and a variety of birds.

River Supin keeps one company all along the trek, gurgling and meandering through the valley. Unlike on most trekking routes in the Himalayas, the picturesque campsites next to the river are expansive.The wide valley offers great views of towering snow-clad peaks. The meadows at Har-ki-doon are a sight to behold just after the monsoons, with acres and acres of wild flower blooms. Swargarohini (6252m) is the most impressive peak visible from Har-ki-doon while Bandarpoonch, Kalanag and innumerable other 5000m+ peaks can also be seen.

Those wanting a tougher hike in the mountains can do the one-day trek from Har-ki-doon to Jaundar glacier and back.
