The moment an ex-colleague told me that he would be going on Har Ki Dun trek, I immediately decided to go along with him to the great Himalayan mountains that I studied about them in the school text books many decades ago! I didn't want to miss the opportunity of seeing the Himalayas and walking on them at least once in my life time. Booked the trek with Himalaya Shelters , Dehradun , without a second thought. Though I was a bit worried about my fitness, I was confident of trekking because I have been walking and doing exercises for more than a decade more or less regularly. The trek lasted for 7 days where 2 days were for travelling by vehicle from Dehradun to a trekking starting point at a village called Taluka and back to Dehradun. So, the real trekking was only for 5 days. Walked a total distance of 54 KM from Taluka to Har Ki Dun and back during the trek. Trekking to Har Ki Dun View from hotel at Sankri The day 1 of the trek started on Sunday M
