“A Hanging Valley, Har Ki Dun.”

Har Ki Dun is a cradle shaped valley, such valleys are formed when a small tributary glacier flows into a glacier of larger volume. The surrounding Swargarohini mountains will take your breath away. The pine, deodar and the beautiful Himalayan wildlife will be quite alluring.
The valley is about 3566m /11,700 feet, above mean sea level. You will find waterfalls suddenly coming out of nowhere, bugyals with rare flowers and butterflies, the majestic peak of Swargarohani and Kala Nag towering right in front of you. Jaunadhar glacier lies to the south east of Har Ki Dun. From October till March, snow will be in plenty.
