From a single vantage point, the valley provides panoramic views of lush green meadows, alpine vegetation, the gushing “Thames” River, the Jalandhar glacier, and snowcapped mountains. A fascinating glacial lake called Maninda Tal can be found deep within the valley.

The trail passes through some ancient villages where you can see people practising centuries-old culture and life moves at a much slower pace; once there, you will feel as if you are in another world where people are unaware of basic things like electricity, internet, vehicles, and so on.

Har Ki Dun Valley has a mythological connection

 According to legend, Yudhishthira, the Pandavas’ eldest brother, climbed the Himalayan peak ‘Swargarohini’ on his way to heaven. After Lord Krishna’s death, the sage Vyasa advises the Pandavas to retire and renounce their kingdom because their life’s purpose has been fulfilled. The Pandavas gave Hastinapur to King Parakshit, appointed Kripacharya as his Guru and Yuyutsu as his regent, and then left for heaven. As the Pandavas depart, a dog befriends them and joins them.

They traveled through the Har Ki Dun valley to reach Swargarohini peak. Swargarohini, according to Hindu mythology, is the only door to heaven on Earth. Draupadi was the first to perish as a result of her undying love for Arjuna. Sahadeva then dies on the way because he was overly confident in his knowledge and believed no one could compete with him. Nakula was the next in line because he was conceited about his good looks. Then Arjuna dies because he believed he was the world’s most skilled and powerful archer and was always envious of other archers. Bheema was the last to die because he was a glutton who ate mindlessly.
