Taluka Village

Taluka is a small Himalayan village in Mori tehsil of Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand, situated at about 2,100 metres on the banks of the Supin River inside the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary. It serves as the last road-head and base camp for the Har Ki Dun, Swargarohini and Ruinsara treks. The village is known for its traditional wooden houses, terraced fields and surrounding pine and deodar forests.

Visitors can expect a remote mountain village with traditional wooden houses, terraced fields and narrow unpaved lanes set against forested slopes and the Supin River. The settlement is small and primarily serves trekkers, with basic homestays, a GMVN forest rest house and small dhabas. Surroundings include pine and deodar forests, views of snow-capped peaks, and access to trekking trails into Govind Pashu Vihar National Park.

Taluka is a traditional settlement in the Tons-Supin valley historically inhabited by farming and pastoral communities. It lies on an old Himalayan route used by local villagers and shepherds and now forms the gateway to the Har Ki Dun valley within the Govind Pashu Vihar National Park established in 1955.

The village reflects the culture of the Uttarkashi hill communities with traditional wood-and-stone houses, terraced agriculture and local customs. It serves as a cultural interaction point for visitors and trekkers experiencing rural Himalayan lifestyle and hospitality.
