Post Breakfast, we start today's journey. We board a local vehicle from sankri to reach Taluka, the starting point of Har ki Dun Trek. After a crazy one hour ride through the curvy and bumpy roads, the vehicle drops us near the Taluka village. Taluka is a small village with a few shops and Government guest houses. The trek begins from here starting from a narrow rocky path. The fragrance of cedar trees can be felt around Taluka. The trek begins from a well marked trail along the supin river on our left. The intense tone and gushing rapids of the river makes our journey more fascinating. During summer season, one can spot huge farmlands covered up with Chaulai, a local crop. The treks stretch with little ascends and descends making the trail an easy as well as a bonus for today. After walking for a distance, we spot a tiny settlement on the ridge, known as Datmer village. Several paths can be discovered to reach Datmer village. A beautiful sculptured wooden bridge can be seen which passes to the forest, This bridge is identified as Baranti pull often crossed by locals to collect wood stock. Trees like walnut, maple, and oak are most common on this trail. One can find walnut lying on the trail during autumn season .

Enjoy the chilly evening with sips of tea and a view of Grand peaks covered with snow
Day 3 : Chilurgad to Seematra ( Trek: 4 Hours)
Osla village can be seen from chilurgad campsite cradled on the cliff, across the growling supin river. From Chilurgard the route to reach osla village is linked by a neat wooden bridge. Osla is the last village on the route to har ki dun and a key attraction for every explorer visiting this valley. The landscape of the alluring village is surrounded by snow-capped peaks and terraced farms. Each season delivers varied complexions about the elegance of the habitat. During the late monsoon, the area blooms up with a local crop known as Chaulai. This red crop turns pink with period and adds a magnificent color around the territory. As you move further and walk out of the village territory, you can spot a magnificent waterfall at a distance. The splendid view of the waterfall is a perfect delight to look at. Moving ahead on the trail, a small temple devoted to Kanda Rani can be glimpsed. The climb turns up to a steep slope after we cross the last tea point. Soon we reach a huge camping ground, Kalkatudhar which was earlier used by the locals as farmland, the tree line cannot be noticed at this part of the wide meadow. Kalkatidhar is a large pastureland which offers an eye-catching view during different seasons. This passage of the trek is steep and fatiguing, so it takes a little while to complete.

This camping site is a small clearing area covered up by treeline all around. Overnight stay will be in tents
Day 4 : Seematra to Har ki Doon and back to Seematra ( Trek: 5-6 Hours )
The trail to reach Har ki doon from seematra is easiest, if compared to other days of the trek. Another stunning and rumbling waterfall is encountered after a gradual ascend, locally named as Dorberta. We will cross a small stream with the help of stones after the waterfall. After this the trail enters up to a forest which is covered up with bhojpatra trees(Himalayan Birch). The short uphill trail takes us close to the har ki dun valley and a sudden change of surroundings can be felt. The majestic glacial mountains deliver proximate view and the river also accompanies us. The panoramic landscape of the heavenly scenery leaves first-time visitors awestruck. All the grand peaks are situated in such a way that it creates a scenario to relax and admire the beauty of the nature. In the center, Har ki dun peak standstill with ravishing colors during different seasons while towards it's left lies the Hata peak and on the right lies the arrangement of Jaundar glacier and the mighty peak of "Swargarohini". Many people are mystified with the name of the river formed at this place, while the locals name this river as Thamsa, many trekking agencies mention it as Supin River. The thamsa river forms up from the streams flowing up from different regions of Jaudhar, Borasu, and Hata Glaciers. If everything goes on as per our schedule, we trek towards Marinda tal. Marinda tal is 3 km away from the north of the Har ki dun valley. This lake is formed up by a huge boulder obstructing the stream which flows down from the Borasu pass. Covering up today's magnificent topography in our senses, we trek back to our respective campsites.
Day 5 : Seematra to Chilurgad (Trek: 3 Hours)
Today we use the same route the one which we arrived from. Descending is not so time consuming as climbing uphill but you need to be careful while walking on the rocky terrain. As we reach kalkatidhar, we spend a few minutes admiring and capturing the view around the place. Moving ahead on the trail we also spot two streams entering from the two different parts of the valley, Har ki Dun valley, and Ruinsara valley. The Har ki dun valley connects the Baspa valley through the Borasu pass and the Ruinsara valley connects the Har ki dun valley to Yumnotri valley through Bali pass. When we reach osla village, an ordinary lifestyle of Himalayan villages can be observed. You can chat with locals, visit old wood structure houses, or discover the heritage and culture of the community. Osla has a temple dedicated to lord Someshwara which is believed to be another form of Lord Shiva. In late August a festival is celebrated to worship lord shiva and people from nearby villages reach on foot to osla to celebrate this auspicious festival. The Stare of the locales must be anxious but if you talk to them they are very warm-hearted and always welcoming to the outsiders. After spending a good time in the village we head down to the chilurgard campsite. The night halt will be in Chilurgad
