Har Ki Dun Ruinsara Tal Trek
Description
Har Ki Dun is a trek that needs no introduction. It’s been around for many many years, and trekkers have always loved it. Without Ruinsara, Har-Ki-Dun is a very good trek. But with Ruinsara added on Har-Ki-Dun, it is a great trek, one of the most complete trek that you will possibly do. It has terrific ancient culture, mountain views, forests, grasslands, meadows, rivers, streams and even an alpine lake. The trek is not difficult on the legs which makes it just the right adventure.
The Ruinsara valley has stunned trekkers. For one, the Ruinsara lake in itself is stunning. An alpine lake surrounded by snow-covered mountains is not something that you see everyday. It is not a small lake either.
