Nestled deep in Uttarakhand’s upper Tons Valley, Osla village is one of the most culturally rich and beautiful Himalayan hamlets. It is located at an altitude of around 2,590 meters, and one can reach here trekking 13-14 km from Taluka. This village sits above the Supin River and is a key stop on the Har Ki Dun and Ruinsara Tal Treks. Osla is famous for its intricately carved Someshwar Temple, believed by the locals to be dedicated to Duryodhan from the Mahabharata. This village’s cultural atmosphere and pristine beauty make it one of the best places to visit in Uttarakhand.

This picturesque village in Uttarakhand has wooden houses, terrace farms, and a slow-paced life, offering a serene escape and rare cultural immersion. Osla is also a resting place for the trekkers; they often rest here overnight and soak in the panoramic views of snow-capped peaks like Swargarohini, Bandarpunch, and Black Peak. 

Apart from natural beauty, Osla introduces travellers to Garhwali traditions and eco-friendly living. This makes it more than just a trek stop, but also a memorable journey into the heart of the Himalayas.
