About The Trek
Dayara Bugyal Trek
Dayara Bugyal Trek is one of the most beautiful high-altitude meadow treks in Uttarakhand, famous for its vast green meadows, panoramic Himalayan views and peaceful mountain surroundings. Located in the Uttarkashi district, Dayara Bugyal offers an excellent trekking experience for both beginners and experienced trekkers.
The trail passes through dense forests of oak and rhododendron before opening into the spectacular alpine meadows of Dayara. During winter, the landscape transforms into a beautiful snow-covered wonderland, making it a popular destination for snow trekking.
From the meadows, trekkers can enjoy magnificent views of Himalayan peaks including Bandarpoonch, Black Peak, Srikanth and Draupadi Ka Danda.
