Overview Summary
Dayara Bugyal Trek is one of the most beautiful high-altitude meadow treks in Uttarakhand, famous for its vast green landscapes, peaceful forests, charming mountain trails, and spectacular Himalayan views. Located in the Uttarkashi district, Dayara Bugyal offers a perfect escape into the serene beauty of the Himalayas.
The trail passes through dense oak and rhododendron forests, open alpine meadows, traditional villages, and scenic ridgelines. During winter, the meadows transform into a stunning snow-covered landscape, making Dayara Bugyal a popular destination for snow trekking.
From the higher points, trekkers can enjoy panoramic views of majestic peaks such as Bandarpoonch, Black Peak, Srikanth, and Gangotri ranges.
