Why Har Ki Dun Trek?
- Har Ki Dun is believed to be the path taken by the Pandavas on their way to heaven.
- The valley is surrounded by beautiful villages like Osla and Gangad. Osla village is very famous for its wooden houses and unique temples.
- You will find the very famous Duryodhana temple in Osla village, which was formally dedicated to Duryodhana. Today, the temple is devoted to lord Someshwar.
- The Supin River is a very famous attraction of the Har Ki Doon trek. You will trek along with it.
- During your trek, you will find all the greenery, some water streams along the way, and mighty peaks like Swargarohini I and II, Bandarpoonch, and Kala Nag (Black Peak).
- As much as the Har Ki Dun trek is famous for its beautiful surroundings, the trek is also very famous for its Mythological significance.
- The trek is easy to moderate in difficulty and can be done easily by beginners.
- In summer, the valley is fully lively with greenery, wildflowers, and rhododendrons. In Autumn, the valley turns golden, and you will get the more clear views of the peaks.
- You will also get to see a grand Jaundar glacier when you are in the valley. There is one more Mahadev temple you will find.
Why Har Ki Dun Feels Special
- Unlike other tourist areas, Har Ki Dun is quiet and not overcrowded. There will be no honking cars and huge buildings. What you will hear instead, is the sound of wind in the trees, the singing of birds, and the water running across rocks. It has a certain way of being able to slow down, take a deep breath and feel grounded into the earth and maybe even into yourself.
- The journey of the Har Ki Dun trek begins from the beautiful and very famous village of the Himalayas, Sankri. From here, you will start seeing the Garhwal region trees, birds, water streams, and many more. You also walk through small mountain villages like Seema and Osla. These are simple places where people live happily and close to nature.
- After a few days of walking, you finally reach the Har Ki Dun valley. And when you see it for the first time, it feels special. It is incredible to explain how good it looks. In front of you, there are wide green meadows, and in the background, you have high mountains covered with snow. There, you will find the mighty Jaundar glacier as well, and major peaks like Bandarpoonch, Kala Nag (Black Peak) and Swargarohini 1 and 2.
A Place of Old Stories
- Har Ki Dun is also full of old legends. According to the Indian epic Mahabharata, the Pandavas had traveled this valley to heaven. This has made many residents think that the valley is holy. Even in the village of Osla, there is a temple attributed to the worship of Duryodhana. This temple is now dedicated to the Lord Shiva.
Major Attractions of the Har Ki Dun Trek
The Very Known Duryodhan Temple
Osla is home to one of the most unique temples in this region. This temple is formerly called The Duryodhan Temple. The inhabitants here at an ancient time adored one of the characters of the Mahabharata named Duryodhana. This is surprising to tell, but back in this distant corner of the Himalayas, Duryodhana used to be a powerful and righteous character.
But now it’s no longer like that. Today, the temple is devoted to lord Someshwar which is another name of lord Shiva. The stories of Duryodhana are still remembered by the locals.
The architecture of the temple is fascinating indeed. The wooden walls are also carved in detail; flowers, animals, and scenes from old stories. It’s built strong enough to face tough winters, and beautiful enough that you will not stop admiring.
The Supin River and the Valley Below
When you are standing perfectly close to Osla, you get the chance to look into a ghati where Supin River flows gently. You may go down and sit by its banks, drink the cold water out of the stream, and have your feet in the frozen water. There are little falls everywhere and little streams of clear water go through the rocks.
Peaks that Watch Over You
During the journey, you will also come across some tall mountains such as Bandarpoonch, Kala Nag (Black Peak) and Swargarohini I and II. The entire experience is surreal because of these mountains. Among them, Swargarohini is the most holy one.
The Grand Jaundar glacier
As you leave Osla and continue the trek, the climb starts getting steeper. The forest begins to change. You start to see small colourful flowers on trees. Their fresh colors are so natural, you might call them the decorations of nature.
The Jaundar glacier can be observed at a distance in a sheet of ice under the rays of the sun. And in the midst of all this, there is a small Mahadev Mandir, dedicated to Lord Shiva.
