Dayara Bugyal Trek – Treks with Himalaya Shelter

The Dayara Bugyal Trek is a journey through one of the most enchanting alpine meadows in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, India. Often referred to as the “Stairway to Heaven,” this trek offers a vast expanse of lush greenery that transforms into a white snowfield in the winter, making it an ideal destination for both trekking and skiing. Trekkers can start their adventure from either Raithal or Barsu, with the option to complete the trek in a loop or as a unique itinerary from Raithal to Barsu. This flexibility allows trekkers to experience more of the region’s beauty within the same trekking duration. The Dayara Bugyal Trek is accessible throughout the year, each season offering a distinct experience. In the winter months, from November to March, the meadow is blanketed in snow, creating a mesmerizing winter wonderland. During the summer months, from April to June, the meadows turn lush green, providing a comfortable and rewarding trek with clear views of the Gangotri range. The trek is considered easy, making it suitable for beginners and families. Along the route, trekkers pass through beautiful oak forests and come across Barnala Meadows with Barnala Tal, a small lake that adds to the scenic beauty of the trek. The trek affords excellent views of peaks such as Srikantha, Jaonli, and Draupadi ka Danda. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or a beginner, the Dayara Bugyal Trek promises an unforgettable experience with its breathtaking views, comfortable trekking conditions, and the opportunity to explore one of the best meadows in Uttarakhand.
