The enchanting cradle shaped valley is rich in flora and fauna, surrounded by dense Pine forests. The trails are passes through some of the remotest villages of Uttarakhand where the civilization hasn’t been affected much by the outside world. This region is isolated and habitat for rare species of bird and wild animals. Har-Ki–Doon offers views of glittering mountain peaks such as Swargarohini and Jaundar Glacier in south-east while Banderpoonch in its west.
