Best Time to Visit Har Ki Dun Trek
The best time for visiting Har Ki Dun is from April to June & September to December. This is because each season has its charm & experience:
- April to June: It is during this time that the valley comes alive with flowers of rhododendrons, clear blue skies & moderate weather. It’s best for trekkers who love colourful landscapes & dry footpaths.
- Early Autumn to Early Winter (September to December): Experience golden forest trails, the lush greenery of post-monsoon season & even early snowfalls in late November. The visual of snow-clad peaks such as Swargarohini looks extremely beautiful these days.
- Don’t trek during monsoon (July-Aug): The trail gets slippery & prone to landslides due to continuous rains.
So whether you are a snow lover or a flower lover, every season has a different feel. Our HarkiDun Trek package from Dehradun is planned for these best months so you can enjoy a scenic & safe experience.
How Difficult is Har Ki Dun Trek?
The Har Ki Dun Trek is a moderate-level trek which turns out to be ideal for both beginners & first-time Himalayan trekkers. Having well-maintained trails & gentle but no steep climbs, it provides trekkers with ample opportunities to adjust comfortably to the rising altitude.
The entire trekking distance of about 47–50 km is divided over 5 trekking days, with each day’s walk being around 10–12 km. The highest point is about 11,500 ft which is easily handled with good hydration, simple fitness & adaptation.
As the trail involves a combination of forest tracks, river crossing & village trails, there is still some stamina needed. However, with professional guides, regular breaks & complete back-up from our staff, the trek becomes comfortable & safe.
