The Dayara Bugyal trek is among the most stunning high-altitude meadows in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district. Sitting at 3400 meters above sea level, this meadow offers everything a trekker could dream of. With breathtaking views of Himalayan peaks like Mt. Bandarpoonch, Kalanag, Jaonli, Draupadi ka Danda, Srikanth, and the Gangotri group including Rudregaira, Gangotri I, II & III, Dayara Bugyal offers a spectacular panoramic vista of the Himalayan range. It’s truly a haven for adventure enthusiasts and hikers. The trek kicks off from the quaint village of Raithal, about 30 km from Uttarkashi. Covering a distance of 9 km, the Dayara Bugyal trek is graded as easy to medium. The trail winds through dense coniferous forests before opening up to the vast grasslands of Dayara Bugyal. Known as the most beautiful meadow in India, whether it’s a rumor or a fact, you’ll have to see it with your own eyes to believe it!
