Trek Overview

Best Summer Trek in Uttarakhand – Vast Alpine Meadows

The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek takes you to the most beautiful high-altitude meadows in the Nanda Devi region. Unlike other treks, Ali and Bedni Bugyal offer vast rolling grasslands at 11,500 ft, surrounded by majestic peaks like Mt. Trishul, Mt. Nanda Ghunti, and Mt. Chaukhamba. The trail passes through dense oak and rhododendron forests, making it perfect for nature lovers seeking a classic Himalayan meadow trek.

The trek begins from Wan village, nestled on verdant mountain slopes. You'll walk past traditional huts, terraced fields, and grazing livestock. Crossing the Neel‑Ganga river, the path climbs through chir pine and rhododendron forests, accompanied by flowing streams and birdsong.

At an elevation of around 11,686 feet, Ali Bedni Bugyal is a stunning alpine meadow framed by panoramic Himalayan peaks, including Chaukamba, Trishul, and Nanda Ghunti. The trek offers a perfect blend of forest trails, open grasslands, and breathtaking mountain vistas – ideal for photography and nature lovers.
