About the Event
Description
Har Ki Doon a.k.a The Valley of Gods is one of the gorgeous treks in the state of Uttarakhand. Situated in the vicinity of Govind Pashu Wildlife Sanctuary in the Uttarkashi district, the trek is boomed with rich varieties of flora and fauna. The route of this trek is quite interesting and offers one with the views of dense jungle, quaint villages on the way, a magnificent valley and mighty Himalayan peaks.
The best time to go on this trek is in summers and post-monsoon as the trail gets blessed by green patches having orchids, rhododendrons and other blossoms. The difficulty level of this trek varies from easy to moderate and is suitable for first timers as well as experienced trekkers.
Mythological stories about the trek:
The trail of this trek is ancient and is linked with legendary stories. According to locals, it is the same route that Pandavas took on their way to heaven and that is why it is called “Valley of Gods”. There is one beautiful peak visible from the valley named Swargarohini and it is called the stairway to heaven. As Yudishthara (one of the Pandavas) climbed this peak with his dog and reached the heaven. Apart from all this, there is one quaint village called Osla, situated on the way to Har ki Doon and it is one of the rare villages having a temple of Duryodhana (a Mahabharata character).
