The Hidden Meadow of Uttarakhand
Tucked away in the Uttarkashi district, Dayara Bugyal is one of Uttarakhand's most enchanting alpine meadows. The term "Bugyal" means high-altitude pasture, and "Dayara" translates to a circular stretch of land — perfectly describing this sweeping green expanse surrounded by dense oak and maple forests.
Easily accessible through a short, moderate trek, Dayara Bugyal rewards trekkers with breathtaking views of the Bandarpoonch, Srikanth, Gangotri, and Black Peak ranges. Along the route, the landscape shifts from rolling meadows to pine- and rhododendron-lined trails, with the tranquil Barnala Tal and its Nag Devta temple adding a touch of serenity.
Ideal for beginners, the Dayara Bugyal trek offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural charm, and panoramic mountain vistas — a true paradise for photographers and nature lovers alike.
The journey begins with a scenic drive from Dehradun to Raithal, a charming village and the starting point of the Dayara Bugyal trek. The route follows the Bhagirathi River, passing through picturesque landscapes and quaint mountain hamlets. Enjoy magnificent views of the Gangotri range and Shrikanth Peak from Moryana Top. As you near Raithal, the snow-capped peaks become more visible, setting the mood for the adventure ahead.
