Har Ki Dun is a cradle-shaped hanging valley in Uttarakhand, India. This place has a mythological aspect of its own , and the name suggests HAR which refers to LORD SHIVA (Har har mahadev) , and DUN which literally means a valley , makes it the god’s valley.. Covered with snow peaks all around , this entity of nature is at a height of 11,675 ft (3566 m) from the mean sea level.
Har ki Dun recites in the heart of Govind Ballabh Pant National Park , a place known for its beautiful valleys and wonderful vegetation . Har ki dun is also surrounded by dense forests . The forests are rich in wildlife and a small heaven for bird watchers and nature lovers.
Talking about the vegetation , the valley is surrounded with alpine vegetation, Alpine plants are plants that grow in an alpine climate, which occurs at high elevation and above the tree line.
According to the local folks , in the religious scriptures it is mentioned that the Pandavs went to heaven through this valley and the nearby mountain peaks. Duryodhan is worshiped here by few communities , so you will find old and massive Duryodhan temples all around the valley.
In conclusion, it feels like due to the isolation of this admirable destination of the gharwals , the natural beauty of this little universe is still maintained .
This is one of the few places where travellers and trekkers go around throughout the year and one should definitely look forward to visit this charming god’s valley.
