Har Ki Dun Trek from Taluka
The trek up the Tons valley to Har Ki Dun, the 'valley of the gods', a cradle-shaped meadow below the Swargarohini peaks and the Jaundhar glacier. From the roadhead at Taluka the trail follows the Supin river through walnut, chestnut and deodar forest to the old wooden villages of Seema and Osla, then climbs through high pastures to the meadow at Har Ki Dun. The valley lies inside Govind Pashu Vihar National Park.
