About this activity

Nestled deep within the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park, the Har Ki Dun Trek is one of the most beautiful and culturally rich trails in Uttarakhand. Known as the “Valley of Gods”, this trek blends Himalayan beauty with fascinating mythology – believed to be the route taken by the Pandavas on their way to heaven.

The 7-day journey takes you through ancient villages like Osla and Seema, where time seems to have stood still. Each day reveals a new facet of the Himalayas – dense pine and oak forests, meadows carpeted with wildflowers, and snow-clad peaks shining in the sun.
