Har Ki Dun valley has abundant flora and fauna. It is a delight for bird watchers as dozens of species found here. On top of this, the view of the Kalanag peak (6,387 m), Swargarohini I (6,252m), Bandarpunch (6,316) and the low lying Hata peak , gives you a glimpse of all the major peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas.
Hindu epic, Mahabharata, has a mention of this valley. The mythological connotation comes alive in the tiny villages along the trekking route. The villages here, some of which are almost even more than a millennium old, look like stuck back in the time of Mahabharata, with their laid-back lifestyle. The rich culture, intricately carved wooden architecture and the wild surrounding dwelled by Blue Sheep and Wild Boars can be enjoyed by navigating through Har ki Dun and Ruinsara Tal Valley.
