Places on the Har Ki Dun Trek
Besides the valley itself, the route passes through some of the oldest villages and quietest campsites in Uttarkashi:
Sankri
Sankri is the base village at 1,950 m, about 200 km from Dehradun, where you stay on the first and last night. It is also the base for Kedarkantha and other treks from Sankri.
Taluka
Taluka is the road-head village 12 km from Sankri, where the walk starts on Day 2 and ends on Day 6.
Seema and Osla
Seema and Osla are old villages on the route, known for their traditional wooden houses. Osla is also known for its old Someshwar temple, one reason Har Ki Dun tops our list of cultural treks in India.
Puani Garat
Puani Garat is our riverside campsite at about 2,500 m beside the Supin river, where you spend the second and fifth night.
Kalkatiyadhar
Kalkatiyadhar, at about 3,025 m, is the high campsite and the base for the day walk to Har Ki Dun, with the first close views of Swargarohini.
Har Ki Dun Valley
The valley at 3,566 m sits below Swargarohini peak. Local legend says the Pandavas passed this way on their final journey to heaven, which gives the “Valley of Gods” its name.

- Altitude: up to 3,566 m (11,700 ft), so you climb slowly and drink plenty of water to avoid altitude sickness.
- Age: no fixed limit; children aged 10 to 15 must trek with a parent. Tell us about any medical condition when you book.

Safety on the Har Ki Dun Trek
- Certified guides: our trek guides hold first-aid (WFA/WFR) and mountaineering (BMC/AMC) certificates.

- Health checks: we check every trekker's oxygen level with a pulse oximeter during the trek, to catch altitude sickness early.

- Emergencies: a trekker who is unwell is brought down to Sankri and then by road to Purola, which has the best medical facilities near the trek. Evacuation and hospital costs are not included in the package, so we recommend travel insurance.
- No network: there is little or no phone signal after Taluka, so your guide stays with the group and keeps the plan flexible if the weather turns.

Comparing treks? Har Ki Dun is the longest of these four and the best for a quiet valley walk past old villages. Kedarkantha, which also starts from Sankri, is a shorter summit trek. For a harder trek in the same district, the Gaumukh Tapovan trek climbs to 4,463 m below Mt Shivling.

It is a moderate trek. You walk 9 to 10 km a day for 5 to 6 hours on forest trails with some steep sections, up to 3,566 m (11,700 ft). Fit beginners can do it if they prepare for a few weeks with brisk walking, jogging and leg exercises.
The best time is April to June and September to November, when the weather is pleasant, the skies are clear and the trails are green. April to June is best for greenery and pleasant weather. From September to November the views are clearer and you may see the first snow on the peaks. Mar 2027 batches are snow treks: colder, with snow on the upper trail, and crampons and gaiters are provided.
Har Ki Dun gets its heaviest snow from December to March. In May there is little or no fresh snow on the trail, but you can still see snow higher up. This makes May one of the best months for the trek, with pleasant weather and flowers along the trail.
Sankri, the base village, is about 200 km from Dehradun by road, an 8 to 10 hour drive via Mussoorie, Naugaon, Purola and Mori. From Sankri it is a 12 km drive to Taluka, where the trek starts. Our group leaves from the Clock Tower in Dehradun at 7:00 AM on Saturday (Day 1); from Delhi, our AC bus leaves ISBT Kashmiri Gate on Friday night. The nearest railway station is Dehradun and the nearest airport is Jolly Grant (Dehradun).
Har Ki Dun valley is at 3,566 m (11,700 ft) above sea level. Sankri, the base village, is at about 1,950 m (6,400 ft).
The Har Ki Dun trek is about 47 km in total, a round trip from Taluka village, 12 km by road from Sankri, over five trekking days. The trail goes through dense forest, deep valleys and old wooden bridges, with steep climbs and descents in some places.
Yes. If you would rather not trek with a group, or want to add places to the trip, we can plan a private trek for your family or friends on your own dates. Call or WhatsApp us with your group size and dates and we will share a plan and price.
Yes. You can offload your backpack to a mule or porter for ₹2,200 + 5% GST for the whole trek; tell us when you book. Trekking poles, down jackets and trekking shoes can be rented in Sankri, usually about ₹300-500 for poles, ₹800-1,200 for a jacket and ₹800-1,500 for shoes for the whole trip.
There is no fixed age limit, but you should be fit and free of serious medical conditions, because the trek involves long drives and 5 to 6 hours of walking a day. Children aged 10 to 15 must trek with a parent.
If you paid in full: 100% refund 15 or more days before the batch, 93% at 7 to 14 days, 70% at 4 to 6 days, and no refund in the last 3 days. If you paid the 25% advance: 100% refund 15 or more days before, 75% at 7 to 14 days, and no refund in the last 6 days.
Jio, Airtel and BSNL work up to Sankri and Taluka. After Taluka there is little or no signal until you come back, so let your family know before the trek starts.
Like any high-altitude trek, Har Ki Dun has some risks: acute mountain sickness at 3,566 m, sudden weather changes, heavy rain or landslides, and no phone network on the trail. Our trek guides hold first-aid (WFA/WFR) and mountaineering (BMC/AMC) certificates, with one guide for every 19 trekkers. We carry a pulse oximeter to check oxygen levels every day, an oxygen cylinder and a medical kit. In an emergency we bring the trekker down to Purola, which has the best medical facilities near the trek. Tell us about any medical condition when you book, and keep a spare day in your return plans in case the road is blocked.
Both are beautiful treks from Sankri, and the right choice depends on what you want. Har Ki Dun is a 7-day valley trek to 3,566 m (11,700 ft) with old villages and Swargarohini views, and it is quieter. Kedarkantha is a 5-day summit trek to 3,810 m (12,500 ft), shorter and cheaper but busier.
