Most Beautiful Himalayan Trek for Beginners and Families
The Dayara Bugyal trek is a favorite among both new and experienced trekkers at Raithal Hills. Sandhya UC, co-founder of Raithal Hills, says, “This trek is superbly rewarding at any time of the year. The forests are splendid in spring, the meadows are an unbeatable green in summer, and they turn orange in autumn, with striking mountain views. The snowscape in winter is a world on its own. You can go any time, and you’ll not be let down.”
The meadows on this trek are a highlight. “The meadows are so meticulously landscaped that there isn’t a single rock or tree out of place. With the majestic Gangotri mountain range in the background, It’s no surprise that this trek is also popular with beginners.
Dayara Bugyal’s breathtaking beauty is due to its location. The meadow is over 10,000 feet high. From Dayara, you can see the Greater Himalayan range in all its glory. The majestic summits of the Gangotri range, including Bandarpunch, Kala Nag, Srikanth, Jaonli, and Draupadi Ka Danda, are so close that you can almost touch them. Trekkers spend hours just watching the sunset over these mountains.
In summer, the meadow bursts into colour with alpine flowers like Himalayan blue poppies, daisies, and primroses. The surrounding oak and rhododendron forests provide a beautiful contrast to the snow-covered mountains. The trek is also home to several species of birds, including the Himalayan monal, the state bird of Uttarakhand.
