About the Har Ki Dun Trek in May

Har Ki Dun, widely referred to as the Valley of Gods, is a legendary 7-day trek starting from the basecamp village of Sankri in Uttarakhand. Set deep within the protected Govind Pashu Vihar National Park, the trail follows the magnificent Supin River all the way to a spectacular, cradle-shaped glacial valley sitting at 3,566 metres (11,700 ft). Unlike demanding summit expeditions like Kedarkantha or Pangarchulla, the Har Ki Dun trek is defined by its gradual, forgiving altitude profile and its immense cultural richness.
