Dayara Bugyal Trek – Captivating meadows with mesmerising view of Himalayan Panorama.
Visit it for fascinating snow slopes during winter.
The trek to Dayara Bugyal (elevation-3536 M/ 11600 ft) is a short, enjoyable, and relaxing journey, suitable for medically fit all age groups from 10 to 60 years. Far from the urban hustle and bustle, immerse yourself in the natural heritage, surrounded by rich flora and fauna. This trek offers the stunning view of Himalayan Alpine Meadow at Barnala Top (elevation-3000 M 9844 ft) and Dayara Bugyal, where you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the Garhwal Himalayas—truly the icing on the cake. The trek is open throughout the year except in monsoon.
In spring, the crimson and pink rhododendrons stand out against the lush green grasslands, while in winter, the Bugyal transforms into a snowy slope, perfect for skiing and other winter sports.
At the Dayara Bugyal Camping Site the scene is dominated by the majestic Bandarpunch Peaks (I-6316 M & II-6102, also known as white peak), which rises prominently into the sky, fully visible in all its grandeur. Nearby, the Kalanag Peak (6387 M, also known as Black peak) appears more elusive, with just its tip peeking above the horizon. Also the entire range of Garhwal Himalayas can be seen. Foreground with lush green meadows and clear blue sky with few scattered clouds, adding to the scene creating picturesque atmosphere.
