An established classic, the Har Ki Dun valley trek is steeped in rich Indian traditions and mythology in addition to some picturesque views of the big mountains. Trekkers return from Har Ki Dun in awe of this beautiful wide valley with up close views of Swargarohini, Banderpoonch and Kala nag mountains of the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. The heritage architecture of the ancient temples of Seema and Osla (strangely the locals here pray to the Kauravas) will leave you spellbound. A relatively easy trek owing to its more relaxed gradient, the Har Ki Dun trek will nevertheless challenge the overall fitness and endurance of the trekker. That said, the impressive views enroute will certainly keep your mind off the fatigue.
