Dayara Bugyal Trek Overview

About Dayara Bugyal Trek:

During the Dayara Bugyal Trek, you will come across lush green prairies or “ Bugyals” spread across the Himalayas, which are a sight to behold. Out of these, the Dayara Bugyal is especially magnificent, standing tall at a height of 12,000 ft. It is like a tabletop, spread over 28 sq. km. The meadow presents a breathtaking vista both in the winter season - with its promise of an endless expanse of glittering snow, making it a famous winter trek - and in the summer season, with the sunlight reflecting different shades of green as far as the eye can see, and yellow, violet and white flowers bursting in places. The Dayara Bugyal Trek maps the distance from Haridwar to the Himalayas.

The base camp for the Dayara Bugyal trek is at Barsu, perched at an altitude of 7,545 ft, this quaint little hamlet overlooks the green slopes of the valley on one side, and the snowy peaks of the Himalayas on the other. It is located at a distance of about 32 km from Uttarkashi. The trek will take you through dense forests of towering Oak and Pine trees, along the Bhagirathi river, across lush green meadows, and through bubbling streams and rivulets. The Dayara Bugyal Trek is a trek of a relatively easy level of difficulty and can be undertaken even by beginners and first-timers!

Start early in the morning with an energized spirit to embark on the actual trek. The trail is a walk through the jungle. There are silver and gold oak trees all around. The route to the campsite is well marked and the campsite at Gui always remains in line of sight. The trail is easy and ascends gradually. It will take around 4-5 hours to reach the next resting point. Make sure to carry 2 litres of water as there are no water sources on the way. The mountain views become more and more prominent as you gain altitude while trekking towards Gui. The trail is mostly through forested areas that become denser as you travel towards Gui. It is mostly maple and Oak trees and occasionally Rhododendrons that bring more vibrancy to the forests.

The campsite is surrounded by alpine trees, unlike mountains. You will spot quaint shepherd's huts near the campsite. Theshepherd's huts are used by the locals to shelter their cattle in the summer months. At some distance, you will also spot an Igloo-shaped forest hut. The view from Gui is almost the same as from Natin, with clear views of the Gangotri range and Shrikanth peak. Take short acclimatization walks around the campsite to help your body adjust to the higher altitudes. Under the beautiful night sky, you can relax and re-energize yourself.

The trail follows out of the Gui campsite and onwards towards Dayara. As you climb out of Gui campsite, the mountains on the other side that were hidden come closer into view. Carrying one liter of water is enough for today. You might get some snow traces on the path.  The Gui Thatch offers beautiful views of Shrikanth Peak, and Gangotri I, II, and III peaks. You will also spot the Jaonli Peak as well as the top of Bandarpoonch. Soak in the charms of a Himalayan forest in this leisurely walk. Hot lunch will be served at the campsite.

Carry enough water for the way as there is only one water source near the top. With the first few steps under the forest, the trail gradually opens up leading to vast meadows. Hereafter, you will find yourself trudging on the meadows blossomed with colors. Chilpada is quite close to the Dayar Meadows, which gives almost the entire day to explore the meadows. As you enter the meadows, you will spot some shepherd's huts again on the edge of the meadow. In summer, the Dyara Meadows serve as pasturelands, and the shepherds shelter their cattle and livestock in these huts.

Walking on such beautiful terrain with stunning views of Bandarpoonch and other peaks, you won’t even know that you are finally closer to the top. You might also spot a sparsely filled water stream.

The final climb is steep but it is worth the physical strain because you will end up witnessing stunning views of the Dodital range. The trail then takes you to the Gidara pass that distinguishes ways to Pichkiya and Gidara Bugyal. Miles and miles of rolling meadows stretch in every direction. Give yourself some time to savor in the serenity of the landscape, to return to the campsite thereafter. If you are doing the trek in the early season, of late spring or summer, you will see lines of violet and yellow wildflowers adorning the meadow. There’s a packed lunch on the way.  We will descend all the way to Nayata campsite. The Nayata campsite is surrounded beautifully by Maple and Rhododendron trees. Spend the night at Nayata campsite.

In cases where we are unable to proceed with an event due to such circumstances that are beyond our direct control, we will make every effort to provide you with an alternative trek that is safer and more suitable.

In such situations, we will issue a voucher to offset the cost difference between the originally scheduled trek and the alternative trek.

Proper Nutrition: Provide a well-balanced diet with sufficient carbohydrates for energy and foods rich in iron to prevent altitude sickness. Adequate Sleep: Ensure your child gets enough sleep in the days leading up to the trek. Quality rest is crucial for altitude adaptation. Educate on Altitude Sickness: Teach your child about the symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headache, nausea, and dizziness. Encourage them to communicate any discomfort immediately. Appropriate Clothing and Gear: Dress your child in layers to adjust to changing temperatures. Ensure they have appropriate trekking gear, including sturdy footwear. Positive Mindset: Foster a positive mindset. Encourage your child, and let them know it's okay to take breaks when needed.

How to choose the right trek?

Choosing the right trek for a beginner can be a bit overwhelming as there are many factors to consider such as distance, elevation gain, terrain difficulty, weather, and time of year. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right trek for a beginner:

1. Determine fitness level:  Assess the fitness level of the beginner to understand their physical capabilities. This will help you select a trek that is challenging but not too difficult.

2. Choose a well-traveled trail:  A well-traveled trail will have more amenities such as signposts, water stations, and shelter. It is also safer as there will be other hikers on the trail.

3. Consider the length of the trek:  For beginners, it is recommended to start with a shorter trek that can be completed in a day or two. This will help them get acclimatized to trekking and build their confidence.

4. Look for gradual elevation gain:  Choose a trek with a gradual elevation gain rather than steep ascents. This will make the trek easier and more enjoyable.

5. Check the weather:  Check the weather forecast before selecting a trek. Avoid treks during the monsoon season or winter when the trails can be slippery or dangerous.

6. Research the trail:  Read about the trail to get an idea of the terrain, altitude, and difficulty level. This will help you select a trek that is suitable for the beginner.

7. Consult with an expert:  If you are unsure about which trek to choose, consult our trek expert Mr. Nitin (+91 70600 59773) between 10 AM to 6 PM (Tuesday - Friday). Mr. Nitin will provide you valuable advice and guidance.

Higher altitude means better view but climbing higher depends a lot on the condition of the weather and how much snow has accumulated. Skiing is also an activity that takes place in Dayara from January till March.

When is the most ideal time to visit Dayara for the trek?

Winter is clearly the best to visit Dayara Bugyal Trek. It receives heavy snowfall during the months of December. However, it gets cumbersome to have a trekking experience towards the end of January and February because of the huge gathering of snow. So, December’s last week to January’s third week is a fine time to indulge in trekking in Dayara Bugyal Trek. The minimum temperature that you can expect during this time is 5 degree Celsius and the highest could reach a maximum of 20 degree Celsius.

What are the different way one can reach Dayara Bugyal Trek?

There are many ways to actually reach Dayara Bugyal Trek which are as follows:

By Air: The closest Airport to Dehradun is Jolly Grant Airport is situated at a distance of about 25 km from the main city. From the airport you can book a cab or rent a taxi in order to reach your destination.

By Rail: There are two trains you could choose from- Nanda Devi Express and Dehradun Express from Delhi. The departure and arrival timings of Nandadevi Express is 11:50 pm to 5: 40 am and the same for Dehradun Express are 9: 10 pm and 5 am respectively.

By bus: Private bus services are not that reliableand it is advised not to opt for them unless absolutely necessary.

After arriving at Dehradun which is basically going to be your starting point for the journey. 5 days is sufficient time for you to make the most of this trekking experience in Dayara Bugyal Trek. Start from Dehradun and reach Barsu, which is a village at a height of seven thousand three hundred and eighty one feet. It takes around 8 hours to reach the village. After that, you need to proceed from Barsu to Barnala which stands tall at a height of nine thousand eight hundred and eighty four feet. From Barnala you finally reach your destination that is Dayara Bugyal.

Are there any risk factors that one needs to be careful about?

High Altitude- High altitude does come with greater excitement and better adventure but there are risks associated with it. Dearth of oxygen is an issue that becomes an issue at a higher altitude. It is important to take necessary steps to ensure safety before embarking upon the expedition.

Unpredictable Weather- The weather in the Himalayas is highly unpredictable. When you start your trek, it might be all hale and hearty but as you gradually approach the top, the weather could deteriorate which is a major concern among trekkers.

Injuries- Even if you are an expert in this area, injuries are not completely inevitable. Rough terrains and the effort one has to put is a deadly combination which could cause injuries like sprains, ankle twist etc. A first aid kit may come at your rescue during situations like this. Take some rest if you are faced with such a situation and do not strain yourself for some time. Give the wound some time before you get back up on your feet again to proceed with the trek.

Disconnected – As you approach higher, mobile networks are compromised, so you have to cut yourself off from the rest of the world, which for today’s generation is a huge deal. Walkie-talkies are often used by people to communicate with each other or with the guides. Inform your family members that you will be unavailable for some time so that they do not worry, while you embark on this extreme expedition in Dayara Bugyal Trek.

How can I contact local guides for the trek?

Being a trekking hub, Uttarkashi has no dearth local guides who could accompany you for your trekking experience. The Nehru Institute of Mountaineering is also nestled here in Uttarkashi which train people and hone their skills to become trained and skilled guides who can be hired by tourists and visitors who wish to go on the expedition. The rates usually vary but are quite affordable. You could also go for agencies who provide such services.  You can book online or you can get in touch with them once you reach your destination.

What are the important things that need to be kept in mind before the trek?

• It is important for you to carry fuel with you for cooking purposes as Dayara doesn’t have dry wood which can be used for the same. This information is mainly for the beginners who haven’t had the experience before. Do not forget to carry fuel or else getting food will be a cumbersome task.
• Choose a camping site that has a rivulet nearby. Melting snow to get water is a common thing people are bound to do in Dayara because streams usually streams frozen, especially during winters. So, choosing a camping location wisely would be of great help.
• Carrying a first aid kid is a must as injuries are unpredictable and can be anticipated because of the rough terrains. You could also get bitten by insects which would require immediate attention. Thus, a first aid kit well stocked with Band-Aids, ointments and medicines should be carried everywhere you go.
• There could be dearth of electricity in some places, so it is advisable for the people to carry their portable chargers along with them. Make sure it is fully charged before you pack it in your backpack.
• If an emergency lands and you need to visit the hospital, you would need to travel to the town of Uttarkashi. 102 is the number you need to dial for any medical emergencies on road. Availability of petrol pumps is the town of Uttarkashi, after which there is no sign of any.
• Waste bags should be carried by you only to dispose them in Uttarkashi as there is no place to do that while on the trek.

What are the items you need to carry for this trek?

For experts, this may sound very obvious but for those who are willing to go for trekking for the very first time need to make it a point to carry all the necessary items required for this trek. Following are the items that you are advised to carry for Dayara Bugyal Trek:

• Backpack and boots
• Trekking Gaiter
• Trekking Pole
• Sunglasses and Hand gloves

These are the few items that are a must if you are looking forward to an expedition. Apart from that, it is needless to mention that you need to carry woolen garments, full sleeve t-shirts and thermal inner in order to keep yourself warm in the icy cold weather and also to protect yourself for catching cold amidst all the snow.

Raithal is a tranquil hamlet that is set amid abundant vegetation and will immediately brighten your spirits. The next day, we will be travelling through oak woodlands in order to get at our campground in Chelapada. There, we will spend a peaceful night listening to the rustling sound of bugyal leaves as they fall in the background.

The following day, we will start our hike to Dayara Bugyal, where we will spend some time, taking in the view from the summit, which is located at an altitude of more than 3500 metres (more than 11000 feet), and experiencing the thrill that comes rushing through your veins, making you feel as though you are on cloud nine. The months of December through March are, particularly for those who like snow travel, the ideal time to do the Dayara Bugyal journey. The greatest news is that this hike can be completed with relative ease over the course of a long weekend, which means that this may be the ideal time for you to do it since you won’t be required to skip classes or time off from work. This hike comes with a tonne of great perks and is an adventure that you shouldn’t pass up on for any reason, so if you’re looking for a recommendation, go no further.

➩ Itinerary

We will pick you up at the Dehradun Train Station parking lot at 6:05 in the morning for the trip to Natin, which will take a total of seven hours. Natin is a picturesque town that is well known for its status as the starting point for the Dayara Bugyal trek. It's about a 38-kilometer drive from Uttarkashi to get there. It is encircled on all sides by verdant vegetation. The Bhagirathi River follows you all the way to the village as you make your way there. A passageway through the mountains is how one may characterise Raithal. As you reach the top of Moryana, you will be the first person to get a sight of Gangotri's Shrikanth peak. You may make a halt here if you wish to take photographs of the gorgeous peaks. When you get nearer to Natin, you will have a better opportunity to see the peaks of the surrounding mountains. One of these notable peaks is known as Shrikanth peak. This is the network that we have. The last significant market is located in Uttarkashi, while a lesser one can be found in Bhatwari. Spend the night at a small inn or visit a local family in their home for a unique cultural experience.

Get an early start on the journey by getting up early. The route takes you through some thick vegetation. The path leads to Gui, where you'll discover oak trees that are both silver and gold in colour. The ascent is gentle and not too difficult. It will take around four to five hours to get to the next site to rest along the way. Since there is no source of water along the path, you will need to carry along two litres of water with you. The campground is surrounded by alpine trees, which is completely different from having mountains nearby. You will discover several quaint village cottages in the area close to the camping spot. Gui provides a vista that is comparable to that of Raithal, with unobstructed views of Shrikanth peak and the Gangotri range. Under the cover of the night, you may refresh your energies as you relax.

The day ahead should go quite well. When the trees have been cleared, the path continues to gradually ascend until you reach Chelapada. This won't be a very long journey. The campground is located near to a creek, which may be easily accessed. You are responsible for carrying one litre of water with you today. It's possible that there are snow footprints along the route. In the campground, you will be given with a hot meal. On the Dayara Bugyal Trek, the vista from Bandarpoonch is absolutely breathtaking; nevertheless, there are many more spectacular peaks in the area. After lunch or before evening tea, you are free to explore the surrounding region.

The day of the summit has arrived. You will make it all the way to the top of Dayara today, and then you will make your way back down to your campground. The difficulty of this hike is somewhere in the middle. At the very summit, there is only a single water source. Check to ensure that you have sufficient water. As you make your way down through the woodland, the path begins to widen and opens out onto meadows. You won't have much choice but to make your way across those vibrantly coloured fields very soon. While you walk over this stunning landscape, which features amazing views of Bandarpoonch or other peaks, you won't be able to believe that you are getting closer to the summit. There is a possibility of seeing a thin river running through the area. Although if the last ascent is challenging, it is well worth the effort since it will reward you with breathtaking panoramas of Dodital. After that, you will arrive at the Gidara pass, which marks the beginning of the journey to Gidara Bugyal and Pichkiya. Before heading back to the campground, you are free to take your time and appreciate the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you. You are welcome to bring your own lunch with you. Camp out for the night in the Nayata location.

Your trek across the mountains of Dayara Bugyal comes to a conclusion today. Congratulations! Wake up early and begin packing your things in preparation for the journey down to Raithal. Throughout the path, your recollections of the days you spent climbing might come flooding back to you. It would seem like the summits of the mountains are trying to get your attention. Natin is a vibrant place that is teeming with children and villagers. Lunch will be served to you here, and it will be hot and wonderful. Spend the night in the guesthouse that Natin has provided.

Take pleasure in your last cup of morning tea at Natin. Take comfort in the kind wishes sent to you by your fellow hikers. After getting everyone together for a picture, you may then get in the taxi that will bring you back to Dehradun at 6:30 in the morning. You will go beside the Bhagirathi River, which served as your guide for the whole of the walk, as it will lead you between the valleys and mountains along the way. You are not permitted to have either breakfast or lunch while you are awake throughout the day. We should get in Dehradun between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. You are free to go on with the rest of your trip back to where you started from here. You will remember many exciting moments from your time in the mountains, and you will make a commitment to visit them again.

Trek Itinerary

Reach Raithal, a 7-8 hours drive from Dehradun. The drive takes you through lovely forest stretches. At Raithal Village, we have our base camp for the Dayara Bugyal Trek and it is a quaint village in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. Spend the night in a Guest House/Camp/Home Stay. Transport will be arranged at an additional cost from Dehradun Railway station at 06:30 AM. Cost of the cab – Rs. 6,500/- per vehicle.

Early morning after having breakfast, trek to Gui. Raithal is the starting point of the trek to Gui through dense oak forests, this trail is around 3-4 hours long, ascending gradually. The campsite in Gui is located in a small clearing surrounded by forests. Overnight stay at Gui amidst dense and rich forests.

We begin at the break of dawn, post a sumptuous morning meal. Today, we start our journey towards the highest point of the trek, i.e. Dayara Top. Crossing the thatch patches near Gui, we tread towards the forest patch layered with Golden Oaks and Maple trees. The trail is slightly more difficult than yesterday's, due to a steep half an hour ascent towards Chilapada.

The trail through the opaque forest patch is decorated with powdered snow uphill that leads towards the high grounds. A panoramic view of the Garhwal Himalayas presents itself to us as we reach near the last shieling or a 'Garhwali Chaani'. The snowy meadows of Dayara Bugyal make an appearance from here.  

Wide grounds shimmering with silver-white snow can be seen in all their glory! Treading through these meadows, the panoramic view of prominent Garhwal Himalayas-Bakariya Top, Black Peak, Bandarpoonch, Mt. Srikanth, Draupadi ka Danda, Mt. Jaunli appear more alluring for their beauty and grandeur with each step forward.

The walk through the Bugyal gives way to a steeper, more upward snowy path leading to Dayara Top. Undulating, expansive snow grounds glitter with snow as far as the eye can see. The intriguing and magnanimous views from Dayara Bugyal all the way up to Dayara Top are indeed worth the climb.

We spend some time at the summit appreciating the spellbinding view from the top. Replenishing our energy with some snacks, we make our way back to the last shieling towards the snow section in the southwest, for the descent. A snow walk in a meadow with a whistling cold breeze for the next couple of hours at this elevation could prove to be a challenge, but is filled with adventure and an adrenaline rush is guaranteed.

After crossing back over the high meadows, we make our way to Nayata through oakwoods, with peeking views of Mt. Bandarpoonch and Gangotri in the background. A moderate descent from the lake, the 3 km trail is lined with maple trees and dry, sparse vegetation all the way to the campsite, offering stunning views of the sun setting over the mountains. We spend the remaining time at Gui and share our experiences in the company of stars before calling it a night. Overnight stay at Gui. 

The day is easy. Start early after having breakfast, walking to Raithal from Chilpada followed by some steep descending trail. It takes 2-3 hours to trek down to Raithal through dense oak forests. Transport will be arranged at an additional cost from Raithal to Dehradun Railway Station. Cost of the cab – Rs. 6,500/- per vehicle.

Trekkaro team will specifically ensure your safety with...

1.  Daily oxygen saturation & pulse reading (if required in trek) We do treks that have a different environment than our daily life. We live in an environment where we less care about a healthy lifestyle. When it’s come to doing treks or surviving in a not-so-pure environment for more than a day our body should accept the changes. Oxygen saturation is the fraction of [oxygen]-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin in the blood. So we ensure the specific balance of oxygen in your blood. Our team ensures the health condition by oxygen saturation and pulse reading before trekking so everyone should be aware of their health.

2.  Oxygen cylinders and medical kit  When it comes to high-altitude trek the body doesn't get enough oxygen. It’s not always that you cannot survive in high-altitude treks but for a safer side if your body is not adjusted to the environment we are always ready with the oxygen cylinders. Our team member carries the portable oxygen cylinder and all the basic medicines on the trek. To prevent high altitude conditions - do more exercise, cycle, and swim. The more you practice it’ll easier for you.

It all depends on trekkers’ expectations, priorities, and activities they are willing to do at the destination. But considering the weather conditions and climate patterns, Spring, Autumn and Winter are the best seasons to go for the Dayara Bugyal Trek. Here’s why:

Spring Season (Mid March – April): 

Spring starts from Mid-March and lasts till the end of April in India. And it is considered one of the most stable seasons in India, making it an ideal timeframe to do this trek. Spring starts right after the end of the winter season, when the temperature gradually starts to rise.

The snow starts to melt and the greenery returns in the surroundings, allowing trekkers to have the serene beauty during the journey.

Summer Season (May – June):

Summers in Dayara start from the month of May and remain till June end. Temperature during this time ranges from 20 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius. All the snow gets melted by this time, the whole bugyal turns green and with that locals of Raithal move their sheep, goats, buffalos, and cows to Dayara Bugyal for grazing and the upcoming monsoon season. Due to forest fires and dust particles, views of mountain ranges are not properly visible in summer. 

Autumn Season (September – Mid November): 

Autumn Season, which starts from September till the mid-November is another great time to go for Dayara Bugyal Trek. The weather and climate patterns are almost the same as the Spring season, offering you the moderate temperature and clear environment.

After the end of the monsoon season, the environment becomes clean and crisp, allowing trekkers to have the perfect views of the surrounding landscapes. The lush green forests enriching the vegetation of oak, maple, and rhododendron trees are the contributing aspects of this destinations’ beauty.

By late November, Dayara’s landscape starts to turn brown due to a lack of moisture and dipping temperatures. So, trekking during the peak Autumn season is recommended if you are opting for the scenic beauty. The temperature in this season averages from 15 degrees Celsius to 1 degrees Celsius. In the meantime, the Garhwal Himalayas offer you a peaceful vibes due to clear surroundings. 

Winter Season (Mid November – Mid March) :

Winter in Dayara Bugyal starts from November and ends in March mid. Temperature during winter ranges from 15 degrees Celsius to -5 degrees or below. The trails, streams and lakes start to freeze, so navigating to the destination might be challenging. During the months of November and January, some rain showers in between bring some snowfall but proper snowfall happens during mid-January and mid-March.

Being said, winter season stands as an ideal time to enjoy the surroundings, snow trail and frozen lakes. The Gui lakes get frozen and the Garhwal Himalayas feature thick snow layers, which are amazing to witness.

But the Garhwal Himalayas are not visible as they are covered in clouds and mist this season.

The local habitats of surrounding villages like Raithal, Barsu, Salan, Agora,consider this Bugyal to be a holy one. Especially the shepherds and monsoon settlers who come here each year to graze their cattle. Van Gurjars/Gujjars ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurjar#Van_Gurjars ) are pastoral semi nomadic community and spend the summer and monsoon in this area. locals celebrate a month long butter festival on the birthday of Hindu God Krishna, the eighth avatar of Vishnu & the narrator of Bhagbat Geeta. Daraya, being well accessible in the months of winter, is a good destination for beginners to experience snow and to master the technicalities of hiking in a snowy terrain before going to a longer duration Himalayan trek.

The trek starts and ends at two picturesque villages Raithal and Barsu.

This trail also fits well for them who wish for an outdoor experience with family and children. It’s a nice way to introduce your kids to nature in Summer to Autumn. This experience will give the scope to learn from local culture and lifestyle in broad spectrum. Beautiful campsites are adequate to give you a complete experience in itself. Though shorter in duration than most other winter treks, yet views, meadows, camping and adequate snow suggest that Dayara Bugyal trek has strong promise for a popular winter trekking destination. Here is one Dayara Bugyal winter snow trek photo story from our trekkers.

Trek to Goi (2850 m/9350 ft) - 4 Km - 4 hours

We start hiking post breakfast.The ascend starts right after Raithal and continues through dense alpine forest. The trail is well paved till Odari, where the local villagers go to collect leaves & firewood.  It doesn’t take more than an hour to reach this place from Raithal. The forest starts to get denser after Odari . Raithal keeps peeping occasionally through the immense green of the surrounding.

After  three hours of gradual ascend we reach Goi.  A few shepherd huts are built in this small opening inside forest by the side of the small lake which the locals call Goital.

Trek to Dayara Jungle camp (3340 m/10955 ft- 4 Km - 3 hours - Explore meadows in the afternoon

The forest starts to change after we cross Goi. Major number of Pine and Oak begins to appear. More we proceed towards Dayara steeper the trail gets. It takes around two to three hours to climb this short but steep ascend to Dayara Jungle camp.

The meadow starts from here and as if the forest comes to a halt all of a sudden here. A line of wounded shepherd huts mark the place. Look beyond and the meadow vanishes crawling up and down into unknown uncertainty. Beyond the reaches of the meadow mighty peaks like Draupadi ka Danda I, II, Bandarpoonch, Srikanth, Jaonli stands tall at a distance.

You have got the whole day for yourself to reach out the corners and explore around this vast magical meadow. Get back before it gets dark. have an early dinner and sneak inside your sleeping bags as soon as possible.

Your body needs rest. We have considerable long day tomorrow.

Explore Dayara Bugyal - summit to Bakriya top (~ 3660 m/12005 ft), descent to Barnala (2900 m/9510 ft) - 12 Km - 7/8 hours

Today’s trek takes us right through the heart of Dayara Bugyal to reach the highest point of the meadow region, Bakriya Top.

From Dayara jungle camp it takes maximum half an hour of easy ascent to cross the tree line. Keeping the tree line behind we keep ascending for another two hours or so to reach Bakriya Top. The ascent is neither continuous nor very steep. But in the month of winter it gets a bit tricky due to the presence of snow on the trail.

A full three sixty degree of mesmerizing view awaits you once you reach the top. Bandarpunch (6350 m), Jaonli (6600 mtrs), Srikanth( 6133 m), Draupadi ka Danda (6420 m) Gangotri I(6672 m),II (6590 m), Rudragaira (5500 m) creates a gigantic arc behind you. The trail through Agora ang  Vebara villages to Dodital disappears far beneath  into the treacherous curves of  Shivaliks and reappears again near the Darwa pass. On the other side another famous trek destination Kush kalyan can be easily spotted.

Satisfied in mind, camera and soul, we start descending tracing back the same route to Dayara Jungle campsite.

We have a filling lunch here. Though we don’t rest for long. Before our body gets cold we buckle up and take a  descent of another hour or two to reach out today’s campsite Barnala.

Trek to Barsu (2250 m/7380 ft) - 5 Km - 3 hours - Drive back to Dehradun 190 Km - 8/9 hours

Tour Reviews

I trekked along with group thru Himalaya Trekkers couple of times (Dayara Bugyal and Valley of Flowers) and had a fantastic experience both the times. HT offers team of true professionals delivers the best in minimum cost with greater level of services. The guides, support staff and cooks are well trained, service oriented and most importantly cares about you like family. Involvement of HT from the planing of trek until execution of plan is awesome. They respond all small and big concerns swiftly, calmly and guide you well. We completed the trek to Dayara in Jan 2019 and finished Valley of Flowers during Sep 2019. Experience and memories from both the treks are fresh as LIVE and reminding us to continue with our next spree to the Himalayas. We are up for the next challenge, our next milestone in Himalaya. We look forward to HT and hoping to add more wonderful experiences in near future…
