Har Ki Dun Trek




Har-Ki-Doon (3566 m) is situated in the western part of Uttarkashi District, at the base of Fateh Parvat. This cradle-shaped valley, south-east of Jaundhar Glacier,is surrounded by glittering peaks on the north-western side and by dense forest of Pine, Deodar and other coniferous trees from south eastern side. The forest is rich in wild life and is a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers. Himalayan birds including game birds such as black partridges and jungle fowl are available in this area. The people of this region worship Duryodhan of the Mahabharat fame.
