- Overview
Har Ki Dun Trek — Overview
Often known as the Valley of Gods, Har ki Dun is a journey to a mystical civilization deep inside the Govind Panshu National Park. This valley lies on the outskirts of Uttarakhand state and shares a border with the Baspa Valley of Kinnaur District, Himachal Pradesh.
Har ki Dun is a quite popular attraction among most of the trekking community. The valley was known to the outside world when a Britisher named Jack Gibson, who was a teacher at Doon School, explored this place and shared his experience with other adventurers in his community. Lesser known is the fact that one of the first mountaineers to ascend the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, Tenzing Norgay, climbed Bandarpunch in this region as part of the Jack Gibson Team. Jack Gibson was very fond of this valley; a memorable span of his life was spent here enriching the local culture and educating young people about mountaineering.
The trek presents a beautiful landscape of thousand-year-old villages, rumbling waterfalls, a proximate view of snow-capped Himalayan peaks, and a diversity of prosperous flora and fauna in the valley. We cross thousand-year-old villages like Gangad and Osla, which are still out of connection with the outer world. Osla is the last village and a key attraction for most trekkers in the valley, due to its scenic location. Every village in the Valley has a wooden temple dedicated to Lord Someshwara. Locals have a strong belief in Lord Someshwara. Many myths state that the Lord Someshwara temple is dedicated to Duryodhana, and others believe it is devoted to Lord Shiva. Some of the prominent Himalayan peaks like Black Peak, Bandarpoonch, Har ki Dun Peak, Swargarohini, and Hata Peak can be glimpsed from this trek.
