Day 2: Sankri to Taluka

Early morning drive from Sankri to Taluka through dense forests and water streams gushing down the roads.Taluka is a small village with traditional house structures and a few dhaba corners serving simple yet delicious food. Trekkers will be given some rest and the trek will start from Taluka. This 14km trek has everything in it, as the trekkers will walk on rocky surfaces, traditional wooden bridges and green trials with supin river flowing on the left side. One can notice the presence of different animals and birds as well. The great thing about this trek is, that trekkers will get many spots with fresh drinking water streams. The trekkers will reach Seema via Gangar village in the evening. The trekkers will camp on a small green field just before seema.

Day 3: Taluka to Seema har ki Dun

Today is a long day for trekkers as they will be covering 12km and will be a much steeper ascent. This trail will give some beautiful views of snow capped mountains, waterfalls, meadows, flora and fauna. There will be many wooden bridges that the trekkers will be crossing. The trekkers will get the view of whole har-ki-doon valley during the later part of the trail and they will reach har-ki-doon valley by the evening. The camp will be set at the base of har-ki-doon peak. One can notice swargarohini, hata and other Himalayan peaks in the background with har-ki-doon and ruinsara rivers flowing on both sides.

Day 4: Stay at Har ki Dun

Explore the beauty of har-ki-doon valley with breathtaking views of swargarohini range, jumdhar glacier and great variety of flora and fauna. Beware of snow leoperds.

Day 5: Har ki Dun to Dehradun
