Hi Friends,
Hydventura is planning a beautiful and amazing trek to Har-Ki-Doon valley over a span of 9 days (April 25th – May 3rd) near Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
Har Ki Doon valley is a cradle shaped hanging valley in the Garhwal Himalayas. It is surrounded by snow-covered peaks and alpine vegetation. [1]
It is connected to Baspa Valley by the Borasu Pass. This valley is at an altitude of approx 3500m above mean sea level and is snow-covered during October to March.
Nestled in the middle of the cradle shaped vale below Fateh Parvat, Harkidun Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys
in the Western Himalayas. This valley is accessible via a trekable route through Govind National Park – known for its rich variety of flora and fauna. Har ki dun or “Valley of the Gods” is a U shaped valley with a terrific contrast of alpine meadow along
moraine ridges and glacier basins amidst towering peaks all around.
