About Har Ki Dun Valley:
Har ki Dun valley at an altitude of 3,566 meters, is a delightful trekking experience in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand beginning in the village of Sankri. The River Tons originates from Har ki Dun valley, which creates a panoramic vista through its serpentine route. Har Ki Dun valley has abundant flora and fauna. It is a delight for bird watchers as dozens of species can be seen here. On top of this, the view of the Kalanag peak (6,387 m), Swargarohini I (6,252m), and Bandarpunch (6,316) gives you a glimpse of all the major peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas.
Hindu epic, Mahabharata, has a mention of this valley. The mythological connotation comes alive in the tiny villages along the trekking route. The villages here, some of which are almost even more than a millennium old, look like stuck back in the time of Mahabharata, with their laid-back lifestyle. The rich culture, intricately carved wooden architecture and the wild surrounding, dwelled by Blue Sheep and Wild Boars can be enjoyed by navigating through Har ki Dun and Ruinsara Tal Valley.
About Ruinsara Lake:
Ruinsara Lake is almost at an altitude of 3,600 meters. It is located in a neighbouring valley and the trail to Har Ki Dun & Ruinsara Tal bisect near the last village Osla. We continue north for Har Ki Dun and we head east for Ruinsara. Har Ki Dun is 11 km from this juncture while Ruinsara Lake is approximately 17 km. The addition of Marinda Tal or Hata meadows ahead of Har Ki Dun makes it an altogether wonderful trekking experience.
