Har Ki Dun Trek

Whenever you are going through a certain area, there are some sites and individuals that you look at with a healthy dose of jealousy. One of these places is Gangar, which is one of the most beautiful villages we have ever seen. It has a mountain background, colourful trees, a river that flows by the side, wooden houses, terrace farms, and everything else that could be included on a postcard. While we were on our way to the Har Ki Dun valley, we had passed by this settlement. Fortunately, we were able to camp close to the village on the leg that we were returning from, and we had sufficient energy reserves to go about the area.

After the first night in Gangar, the journey will take you to a location known as Taluka. Your hiking will get underway after you reach Taluka. This very short trip offers a lot of excitement because to the dense woods and winding streams it passes through. Before you begin your trek now, make sure that your food and water bottles are adequately stocked, and don't forget to fill up your water bottle. The walk begins in a picturesque location beside the Tonnes River and then enters a forest filled with conifers. After that, it gets to the bridge. There is a fording of the river, and after about twenty minutes of walking, you will reach a wooden bridge that, when crossed, will bring you to the waters below.

 After then, the walk turns into a delightful experience with numerous shade trees. Because there is none of the blinding light that comes with the day, this is perfect for photography. You will be able to hear the sounds of the river flowing and the birds singing as you make your way through the forest while strolling under its canopy. During the warm summer months, this path is often used by residents as a freight ferrying route. And throughout the fall, you'll see that they are stockpiling the things they need to get through the winter. After lunch, you will be treated to a breathtaking panorama of miles-long potato and maize fields along your walk. Almost immediately after that, you will arrive to the Kalkatiyadhar campground where you will be staying.

Today is the pinnacle of the journey. You are planning to leave the campground quite early in the morning. Savour the delectable breakfast, and get ready for the most gorgeous and enjoyable day of the walk today. This day has a variety of stunning sceneries. You will go over several moraines as well as some breathtaking meadows. The glacier basin hike has the potential to be difficult, but it also has the potential to be rewarding. The hiking path is lined with tall pine trees. The ascents along today's trek vary in difficulty from moderate to severe. In the winter, when the temperatures are very low and there is a heavy blanket of snow, there are waterfalls that have frozen over. When early summer arrives, the waterfall has a magnificent cascading effect. You will succeed in reaching the peak of Har Ki Dun if you give it one more effort. Take in the breathtaking panorama of the picturesque valley below and the snow-capped mountains that surround you. A breathtaking panorama of the peaks of the Swargarohini, Hata, and Black mountains can be seen from the top.  During your visit, spend some time at the peak. Take in all of the natural splendour that surrounds you. In towns and cities, you will not get to see nature in its most beautiful form. After lunch, you will continue to walk along the same path. Continue descending till you reach the same camping spot at Kalkattiyadhar.

First thing in the morning, when you have finished eating breakfast, we will begin our descent in the direction of Osla village. The trek will take around five to six hours to complete, and it will cover a distance of approximately eight km. There is a lovely valley that is surrounded by enormous mountains that are covered with snow on the top surface of the mountain. There are spots of grass and greenery that are covered by the valley. We will take a sufficient stop to admire the scenery along the journey, which is rich with attractive locations.Continuing along the same path, we eventually arrive at the campground. Once we have arrived at the Osla settlement, we will check into our tents. You are welcome to take a break in our tents, or you may choose to soak in the breathtaking scenery of the valley. Stay in our campgrounds for the night and enjoy an excellent meal.

Today is the last day of your trekking journey of Har Ki Dun Trek. After breakfast start your descending to Gangar village. From Gangar village you will transfer to Dehradun via Universal Camper’s vehicle.
