Your journey begins early morning from Dehradun, driving through picturesque hill towns like Mussoorie, Purola, Mori, and Netwar. The scenic route runs alongside the Tons River, offering views of dense pine forests, terraced fields, and snow-capped peaks in the distance. As you gain altitude, the crisp mountain air greets you.
By evening, you arrive at Sankri (6,400 ft) — a small but beautiful Himalayan village and the base camp for the Har Ki Dun trek. Upon arrival, check into your guesthouse or campsite. You can spend your evening exploring the local market, meeting fellow trekkers, and enjoying the serene surroundings. Overnight stay at Sankri.

After breakfast, embark on a short drive from Sankri to Taluka (6,800 ft), the trek’s starting point. From here, begin your trek along the Tons River. The trail is scenic, passing through dense forests of pine, deodar, and walnut trees. You’ll cross wooden bridges and streams, hearing the constant murmur of the river.
Small hamlets like Datmir and Gangar appear along the route, where you can interact with locals and learn about their mountain lifestyle.

After a hearty breakfast, start trekking towards the breathtaking Har Ki Dun Valley. The trail climbs gradually, taking you through terraced farms, rhododendron forests, and open meadows.
