Dayara Bugyal Trek 4N/5D
<p>The Dayara Bugyal Trek is a journey to one of the most beautiful and expansive alpine meadows in Uttarakhand — a vast, rolling expanse of green (summer) or snow-white (winter) grassland at 3,408 metres, offering some of the most dramatic panoramic views of the Garhwal Himalaya. The bugyal (high-altitude meadow) stretches across approximately 28 square kilometres, making it one of the largest open meadows accessible by trek in all of India.</p><p>The trek starts from Barsu village (2,580m) near Uttarkashi, making it accessible from Dehradun in a single day's drive. The trail ascends through dense forests of oak, pine, and rhododendron before opening out onto the vast open meadow of Dayara. The summit viewpoint, Bakaria Top (3,700m+), provides an unobstructed 360-degree view of peaks including Bandarpunch (6,316m), Srikanth, Kala Nag, Draupadi Ka Danda, and Gangotri group of peaks.</p><p>Dayara Bugyal is a four-season destination — in summer, the meadow carpets itself in wildflowers and fresh green grass grazed by shepherds and their flocks; in autumn, the whole landscape turns golden; and in winter (December–March), it becomes a pristine snow playground, popular for snowshoeing and ski touring. The trek is rated easy-to-moderate, making it perfect for first-time high-altitude trekkers, families, and those looking for a gentle introduction to Himalayan trekking.</p>
