Har Ki Dun is a wide cradle-shaped valley at 3,566 m, walked into over two days from the roadhead at Sankri. The route follows the Supin river through Govind National Park, past villages built in a timber style that has not changed in centuries. It is a moderate trek rather than a hard one - the days are long instead of steep - which makes it a good first multi-day Himalayan walk.
Long drive through Mussoorie and Purola to the trailhead village of Sankri (1,950 m).
Drive to Taluka, then walk 11 km along the Supin river to Seema.
Climb 11 km through Osla and its terraced fields into the valley itself.
Morning walk towards the Jaundhar glacier and the base of Swargarohini, then retrace the route down to Seema.
Walk to Taluka and drive back to Sankri.
Drive out, arriving Dehradun in the evening.
No, but you do need fitness. The days are long rather than technical, typically six to seven hours of walking. We ask that you can jog 4 km in under 30 minutes before the trek.
April to November. April and May bring the rhododendron bloom, September and October give the clearest views, and the valley holds snow into early spring.
