The breathtaking alpine meadow of DayaraBugyal reigns atop a staggering 12,000 ft., against a stunning canvas of lofty Himalayan neighbours like Bandarpoonch, Kala Nag, ShrikhandMahadev, Srikanth peak and Gangotri peaks. The DayaraBugyal trek is marked by a rich carpet of wildflowers, and dense forests of maple and oak fenced by misty valleys. The highland meadows invite skiers from over the country during winters, when the place receives heavy snowfall. The trail unveils expansive grasslands, alpine lakes and trickling streams that lull the senses with a sylvan symphony. Besides the splendour of the landscape that DayaraBugyal offers, trekkers also get a rare glimpse into the fascinating cultures of a Himalayan village.

The lush green expanse snuggled in the laps of Himalayan giants is the perfect respite from the humdrum of life. It is a whisper of untamed wilderness to the hearts of trekkers, who flock here every year in search of tranquillity and peace. The wondrous grasslands of DayaraBugyal are locked in a Himalayan embrace and make for an ideal long weekend trek.
