Har ki Dun, which means Valley of Gods, located deep inside Govind Wildlife Sanctuary in North-Western Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. Rich in flora and fauna, the trails are quite often covered in different shades of orchids and other wild flowers. The trek is along the Supin river through the scenic Garhwali villages of Taluka, Gangad and Osla. Har ki dun has numerous camping places. An extra rest day is ideal to explore several trails which continue from the Har ki Dun camp. From Har ki Dun one can see the entire North Face of Swargarohini I (6,252 m) peak. The legends associated with it say that Swargarohini is the path to heaven that was followed by Pandavas of the epic Mahabharata. The beautiful Marinda Tal formed by a huge boulder obstructing the river, can be trekked in an hour from Har Ki Dun or we can explore the Hata Valley to the north of Har ki Dun. It will be a long trek, you can do hike to Jaundhar Glacier view point that takes you to the Swargarohini Base.
