Dayara Bugyal, located in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, is one of the most stunning high-altitude meadow treks in India. "Bugyal" means alpine meadow in the local language, and Dayara lives up to the name — offering endless green and snow-covered pastures stretching out like a dream at 11,950 ft (3,650 m).
This easy to moderate trek is ideal for beginners, families, and photographers. The trail winds through dense oak and maple forests, traditional Himalayan villages, clear streams, and expansive alpine meadows, culminating in breathtaking views of Himalayan giants like Bandarpunch, Kala Nag, Srikanth, and Gangotri ranges.
