Dayara Bugyal trek | Trekking with Himalaya shelter

The Dayara Bugyal Trek is a captivating journey nestled amidst the Garhwal Himalayas in Uttarakhand, India. This trek is offered by Himalaya Shelter and is known for its scenic beauty and the undulating slopes of Dayara Bugyal - a meadow. The trek starts either from Raithal or Barsu and often is done in a loop with trekkers returning to the same base camp they start the trek from. Another unique option is to start the trek from Raithal and end the trek at Barsu. This unique itinerary allows trekkers to experience more in the same trekking duration. The Dayara Bugyal Trek offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Views of the Gangotri range reward the trekkers and peaks such as Srikantha (6,133 m), Jaonli (6,632 m), and Draupadi ka Danda are visible. The Dayara meadows are known for their beauty and the lush green meadows turn into a sprawling snow ground during the winter months and are ideal for skiing or snowboarding as well. This is usually possible from the end of December to early March. While descending from Dayara towards Barsu, we come across Barnala Meadows with Barnala Tal, a small lake with beautiful views of snow-capped peaks in the background. The Dayara Bugyal Trek difficulty level is considered to be easy. A 10-year-old can also complete this trek without facing any problems. The trek offers the spectacular expanse of a meadow unlike any other treks in Uttarakhand. You will be greeted by two alpine lakes on the trail making it a fine Himalayan lake-trek, as well. This trek has trails that can be covered in a short duration like a weekend trek and also can be enjoyed as a week-long trek!
