Har Ki Dun Trek in July
Weather, temperatures, packing and honest advice — from the team that runs this trail.
The quick answer
July is a shoulder month for Har Ki Dun. The core season is Apr, May, Jun, Sep, Oct, Nov, so conditions can work with the right preparation — but check with our team about your specific dates. The trek runs 7 days from Sankri, Uttarkashi, reaching 11,675 ft at its highest point, and is graded Moderate (3/5). The fee is ₹9,450 + 5% GST with permits, meals, camping and certified trek leaders included.
Why this window works: April–June brings flowering meadows and snow-draped Swargarohini; September–November adds post-monsoon clarity and golden harvest colours in Osla's fields. July sits at the edge of this window, so conditions vary year to year — check with our team for your dates.
Weather & trail conditions in July
Rain is a daily companion on most Himalayan trails in these months — expect slippery descents, leeches in the forest sections and occasional roadblocks on the drives. Only monsoon-suitable trails should be attempted. On Har Ki Dun, expect daytime temperatures around 18°C on the trail and roughly 8°C at the highest camps after dark in July.
