Dayara Bugyal Trek: Walk on the Alpine Meadows of Dreams

Dayara Bugyal is one of the most scenic high-altitude meadows in India, blanketed in green velvet during summer and snow-white powder in winter. The trek is perfect for beginners and families, offering stunning views of Gangotri peaks, open skies, alpine forests, and quiet Himalayan villages.

Bugyal: The Himalayan Grassland

In local dialect, "Bugyal" means meadow — and Dayara is one of the largest and most beautiful in Uttarakhand. Spread across 28 square kilometers, this alpine grassland turns into a skier’s paradise in winter and a wildflower carpet in spring.

Perfect for First-Time Trekkers

With a well-marked trail, gentle slopes, and moderate altitude gain, Dayara is an excellent trek for those trying the Himalayas for the first time. It's also ideal for kids and elders with basic fitness.

The Views That Make You Pause

Expect clear views of Bandarpoonch, Srikanth, Black Peak, and Draupadi Ka Danda. You’ll also pass through pine and oak forests, tiny villages like Raithal and Barnala, and frozen lakes depending on the season.

A Trek for All Seasons

In spring and summer, it’s all about greenery, blue skies, and cool breeze. Come winter, and Dayara transforms into a snowland perfect for snow trekking and skiing.
