Dayara Bugyal Trek – A Walk Across Himalayan Meadows
The Dayara Bugyal Trek in Uttarakhand is a perfect introduction to Himalayan trekking, known for its vast alpine meadows, gentle trails, and sweeping mountain views. Sitting at an altitude of around 12,100 ft, Dayara Bugyal is among the most beautiful high-altitude grasslands in India.

The Trail Experience
The trek begins from Raithal or Barsu village, both offering stunning views and warm local hospitality. The trail winds through oak, maple, and rhododendron forests, with gradual ascents that make the trek accessible even for beginners.
