Har Ki Dun Trek - Walk Along the Footsteps of the Pandavas

A trekker’s delight, the Har ki Dun trek is the stairway to heaven that will make you fall for its beauty. The thing that makes it an alluring trek is its accessibility both in summer as well as the winter season. Har Ki Dun Valley is situated on the western flank of the Garhwal Himalayas and is very popular with trekkers as well as climbers. The walk to Har Ki Dun Valley is a lovely one with fascinating views of the Swargarohini group of peaks. The Har Ki Dun catchment area is a major source of the Yamuna River System.

Har Ki Dun trek takes you through some of the most charismatic alpine meadows and pine forests which is a treat to the eyes. During winters the snow-covered trails of Har Ki Dun Trek look mesmerizing as and when the sun tries to peep behind the clouds. One of the oldest Treks in Himalayas, known as the Valley of Gods, some believe Har ki dun is the same route taken by the Pandavas in the Mahabharata on their ascent to heaven. Swargarohini—the snow peak, the vision of which dominates the Har Ki Dun Trek bears a legacy of the mythical stairway to heaven and this trek gives you a true experience of trekking in Uttarakhand, the land of Gods.

Har Ki Dun Trek Itinerary

Dehradun to Sankri

  • Altitude Sankri: 1950 m/ 6400 ft
  • Drive Distance: 220 km | 10 hrs
  • Accommodation: Hotel

The first day begins with a 10-hour drive from Dehradun to Sankri. You are expected to reach Prince Chowk, Dehradun by 6:00am in the morning. To reach on time, you can book an overnight Bus/Train from Delhi to Dehradun ISBT. Sankri is located at a distance of 220 km away from Dehradun and it takes about 10 hrs approximately to cover the distance.

Passing through Mussoorie- the “Queen of the Hills” and the beautiful Kempty Falls onto Uttarkashi district, we will cross Naugaon, Purola, Mori, and Netwar before finally reaching village Sankri- the first stop on the trek. The road passes through picturesque pine tree forests starting on both sides of a road that catches up on a parallel to the course of the river Tons. After Mussoorie the scenery changes vividly, the deep gorges are replaced with pine forests that carry the fresh scent of pinewood in the air. Stopping at a favorable hour, we will have lunch somewhere by the road at an inn. Reaching Purola, you should get done with important calls and internet usage because hereafter, the connection will get fuzzy. BSNL and Jio are the only efficient services available in this zone with limited providers.

The final stretch to Sankri for about 20 km, the drive becomes extremely scenic. A short way before Sankri, we will cross the Govind National Park checkpoint and at about 6 in the evening, the drive will end at Sankri. Sankri is a beautiful Himalayan village that serves as the base camp for many Himalayan treks. The village offers stunning views of Mt. Swargarohini. If you are doing the trek in the winter months, you can expect snow right from Sankri itself. After freshening up at the guest house, you will get sufficient time to explore the market close by. Trekking essentials, garments, and equipment are available at the bazaar in Sankri, in case you need last-minute shopping for the venture ahead.

In the unlikely event that TTH cancels a trek prior to the scheduled departure date:

While it is extremely rare for TTH to cancel a trek, we understand that unforeseen circumstances or natural disasters may occasionally require us to do so before the scheduled departure. These circumstances could include continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that poses a risk to the safety of our trekkers. Additionally, unforeseeable events such as local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any similar situations that compromise the safety of the trekking experience may also necessitate a cancellation.

In the event of such a cancellation, TTH will provide you with a voucher equivalent to the amount you paid for the trek. This voucher can be redeemed for any of our treks within the next year, allowing you to still enjoy an adventure with us at a later date.

Note

  • The issuance of a voucher is not applicable in situations where you are required to descend from the trek for any reason. The trek leader may make the decision to send you down from the trek due to factors such as insufficient fitness level, symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), high blood pressure, exceeding the designated turn-around-time, health concerns, or if you are found smoking, drinking, or violating the rules set for the trek. In such cases, the provision of a voucher does not apply.

In the Rare Event that TTH Shifts a Trek

We would like to emphasize that weather conditions in high-altitude areas are highly unpredictable and can undergo sudden changes at any time, irrespective of the day. Additionally, circumstances beyond our control, such as natural disasters, political unrest, pandemics, and lockdowns, may impact the feasibility of conducting a trek. In cases where we are unable to proceed with an event due to such circumstances that are beyond our direct control, we will make every effort to provide you with an alternative trek that is safer and more suitable.

In such situations, we will issue a voucher to offset the cost difference between the originally scheduled trek and the alternative trek. This voucher can be redeemed at any time within one year from the date of issue. Please note that a refund fee or reimbursement of the cost difference is not applicable in these cases.

Note:

  • Change of trek batch is dependent on the availability of seats in the batch
  • In case of transferring a trek to a friend, he/she should satisfy all the mandatory requirements put forward by TTH
  • TTH holds the right to change/cancel the policies, without prior notice

Choosing the right trek for a beginner can be a bit overwhelming as there are many factors to consider such as distance, elevation gain, terrain difficulty, weather, and time of year. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right trek for a beginner:

1. Determine fitness level: Assess the fitness level of the beginner to understand their physical capabilities. This will help you select a trek that is challenging but not too difficult.

2. Choose a well-traveled trail: A well-traveled trail will have more amenities such as signposts, water stations, and shelter. It is also safer as there will be other hikers on the trail.

3. Consider the length of the trek: For beginners, it is recommended to start with a shorter trek that can be completed in a day or two. This will help them get acclimatized to trekking and build their confidence.

4. Look for gradual elevation gain: Choose a trek with a gradual elevation gain rather than steep ascents. This will make the trek easier and more enjoyable.

5. Check the weather: Check the weather forecast before selecting a trek. Avoid treks during the monsoon season or winter when the trails can be slippery or dangerous.

6. Research the trail: Read about the trail to get an idea of the terrain, altitude, and difficulty level. This will help you select a trek that is suitable for the beginner.

7. Consult with an expert: If you are unsure about which trek to choose, consult our trek expert Mr. Nitin (+91 70600 59773) between 10 AM to 6 PM (Tuesday - Friday). Mr. Nitin will provide you valuable advice and guidance.
