Dayara Bugyal Barsu Trek

Dayara Bugyal Trek is a popular trekking destination in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. "Bugyal" in the local language refers to alpine meadows, and Dayara Bugyal is renowned for its vast stretches of lush green meadows surrounded by dense forests and towering peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas. The trek usually starts from the village of Barsu, which is accessible from the town of Uttarkashi. From Barsu, the trail winds through dense forests of oak and rhododendron, offering glimpses of Himalayan wildlife and bird species. As you ascend, the landscape gradually transforms into open meadows, with panoramic views of peaks like Bandarpoonch, Srikanth, and Jaonli. The trek is moderately challenging, suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers. The best time to undertake the Dayara Bugyal trek is during the summer months, from May to June, and during the autumn months, from September to November, when the weather is pleasant, and the meadows are in full bloom with alpine flowers. The trek usually takes around 4-5 days to complete, depending on the route chosen and the pace of the trekker. Camping under the starry sky amidst the vast expanse of meadows is an experience cherished by many who undertake this trek.
