Har Ki Dun Trek - Valley of the Gods

Har Ki Dun ("Valley of the Gods") is a cradle-shaped valley in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, sitting at around 3,566 m (11,700 ft) inside Govind Pashu Vihar National Park. It's reachable only by a multi-day trek, making it a draw for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The valley is tied to Mahabharata legend — locals believe it was the path the Pandavas took on their way to heaven — and the trail passes through lush forests, rivers, wooden bridges, and villages like Osla and Sankri. It's pitched as moderate-grade and beginner-friendly, offering a quieter alternative to more commercial treks.
