The Dayara Bugyal Trek derives its name from the Dayara Bugyal, a beautiful alpine meadow situated in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, India. The trek predominantly traverses through beautiful and expansive meadows, lush green Himalayan forests, and some tricky sections consisting of moraines and boulders. If the snow hasn’t completely melted, you may encounter snowy sections along the way. The Dayara Bugyal Trek is a moderately difficult trek. While most of the trek will take you through large open Himalayan meadows, there are a few steep climbs and descents that require your complete attention and great effort to navigate. Moreover, to reach some of the lakes, you will have to ascend through high mountain passes and sections full of boulders. Occasionally, you will need to cross rivers or water streams, which will present additional challenges.
