Most people don’t know this, but Dayara Bugyal is a favourite trek among a few of the most seasoned trekkers.

“This trek is superbly rewarding at any time of the year. The snowscape in winter is a world on its own. The forests are splendid in spring, the meadows are an unbeatable green in summer, and they turn orange in autumn, with striking mountain views.

However, we have a soft corner for the meadows on this trek, which are almost crafted to perfection. “The meadows are so perfectly landscaped, that there isn’t a single rock or tree out of place. With the royal views of the Gangotri mountain range in the backdrop, the rewards are massively disproportionate compared to the effort you put in,” shares Sandhya. It’s no wonder that it’s a favorite among beginners too.
