Overview

Dayara Bugyal is a beautiful and vast high altitude meadow undulating from 3050m to 3300m in altitude. Camping experience on this trek is one of the finest experiences that one can have on Himalayan treks of similar difficulty. The spectacular view from the top includes Bandarpoonch, Draupadi-ka-danda, Srikanth, Rudragaira, Gangotri I,II,III, Jaonli, Black peak and many other unnamed peaks.

The Dayara Bugyal trek is  short and easy paced. It is suitable for people of all ages and interests. Highlights of this trek are villages, forests, meadows and excellent Himalayan views. For first timers, families with kids and even experienced trekkers, this trekking route is apt for all. This trek can be undertaken almost throughout the year. In the summer months the meadows are lush green and carpeted with wild flowers, whereas in the winter months the possibility of a snow experience is very high.
