Spectacular views, serene ambiance, unforgettable experience!

""As a traveller, the raw beauty of Har Ki Dun immersed me a lot while traversing rugged terrain, witnessing glacial streams, and camping under a star-studded sky, every step unveils nature's grandeur. Challenge yourself, discover serenity, and create memories that last a lifetime. Nice hospitality , amazing food and cordial guidance from Chaabi Ji and trekvento team." - Soumit Das from Lake gardens, Kolkata "

"This trek holds some of the best days of my life, filled with awe-inspiring valleys, breathtaking views, serene sunrises, and magical, starry night skies. The freshness of the air, coupled with the constant presence of the flowing Thamsa river, created an unforgettable atmosphere that I still vividly recall, even after 2month. The most unexpected joy for me was the connections I made. The people I met along the trek—fellow trekkers, our guides, and the locals—felt like family. Our trek leader Chabbillal" was incredibly experienced, guiding us through every twist and turn with care, while the team itself made the entire experience feel like a close-knit adventure. The food was delicious and a welcome comfort after long days on the trail. Highlights for me include the mesmerizing view of the Swargarohini peaks, the charming villages of Gangaad and Dhatmir, and the captivating beauty of Devsu Thatch. Trekking alongside the river and through the woods of Boslo was a rare delight, offering a lesser-known perspective of Har Ki Dun that left me speechless. For anyone considering the Har Ki Dun trek, it’s an absolute must. Not only for the landscape, but for the sense of connection and the unique experiences you gain along the way."

Har ki Dun, The valley of Gods

Posted By: Biswarup Halder

"I did Har ki Dun trek with Chhavilal Malatha and believe me it was an wonderful experience to have Chhavilal as a guide with us. I did this trek with my family. My daughter is 7 years old. Chhavilal take great care of her during the trek. Chhavilal treated us as like a family. Listening local folklore, history and stories about of the village and places of the area from Chhavilal was really thrilling. Those villages are more than thousands years old and they still maintain their local culture. I was lucky to witness a local marriage in the village of Osla. The hoses are made of woods. The design of the roofs of those houses are unique. The Someswar Mahadev temple in osla village is a must visit place. And the Har ki Dun valley is a marvelous place to visit. You will forget all your tiredness when you seat on soft grass beside the flowing river in Har ki Dun valley. The food he provided was really great. We taste many tasty local cuisines on our plates. Staying in home stay at Osla village was great. Camping in Simatra was very good. The camping site was awesome. I strongly recommend young and energetic Chhavuilal for any trek in India you are planning for. Thank you Chhavilal Malatha for making these trek days memorable. "
