Har ki Dun, which means Valley of Gods, is situated deep inside GovindPashu National park. Rich in flora and fauna, the trails are quite often covered in different shades of orchids and other wildflowers. The area was made popular by the Doon school master Jack Gibson after his Banderpunch expeditions.
The path winds up alongside the Tons river from Netwar village. The trek is along the Supin river through the scenic Garhwali villages of Taluka, Gangad and Osla. Har ki dun has numerous camping places and one Forest Guest House. An extra rest day is ideal to explore several trails that continue from the Har ki Dun camp.
From Har ki Dun one can see the entire North Face of Swargarohini I (6,252 m) peak. This face drops to about 2,000 m in less than 2 km distance and is yet to be climbed. The legends associated with it say that Swargarohini is the path to heaven that was followed by Pandavas of the epic Mahabharata. Though, the same story is also associated with the Swargarohini steps seen from Satopanth Lake, which lies ahead of Badrinath.
