Dayara Bugyal Trek: Embark on a captivating journey to Dayara Bugyal, a sprawling alpine meadow in Uttarakhand, India, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayas and lush greenery, making it an ideal trekking destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
Dehradun's Charm: As the capital city of Uttarakhand, Dehradun is a blend of bustling streets, historical sites, and gateways to the Himalayan adventures.
Scenic Route: The drive from Dehradun to Raithal Village covers approximately 185 kilometers, taking around 6-7 hours. This journey unfolds through the mountain roads, offering views of the changing landscapes from the Shivalik foothills to the higher reaches of the Garhwal Himalayas
Through the Valleys: The route passes through Mussoorie, offering a chance to glimpse the Queen of the Hills, before winding down towards Uttarkashi and finally ascending to Raithal. The journey is punctuated with verdant valleys, rushing rivers, and quaint hamlets.
Raithal's Warmth: Nestled at an elevation of around 2,200 meters, Raithal is a gateway to the Dayara Bugyal treks. This village is characterized by its serene environment, traditional Garhwali architecture, and the warm hospitality of its residents.
Distance and Terrain: The trek from Raithal to the Gui or Chilpada Campsites covers an initial ascent through oak and rhododendron forests. The trail, spanning approximately 5-6 kilometers, is a moderate climb, offering trekkers their first real taste of the Himalayan wilderness.
Campsite Serenity: Gui and Chilpada offer picturesque campsites, set against the backdrop of dense forests and the silent peaks. These spots are perfect for resting and acclimatizing, with clear night skies that are a stargazer's delight.
Flora and Fauna: The trek route is alive with the sounds of the forest and the sight of wildlife. Trekkers can observe a variety of birds, and if lucky, catch glimpses of the elusive Himalayan Monal.
Dayara Bugyal: The trek to the Dayara Bugyal summit is a journey through sprawling meadows, offering panoramic views of the Himalayas. This day involves a total trek of approximately 6 kilometers from Chilapada, to devikund traversing through west bugyals (high-altitude meadows) that are among the most beautiful in India.
Breathtaking Vistas: From the summit, trekkers are rewarded with 360-degree views of majestic peaks such as Bandarpoonch, Bhagirathi, and Draupadi ka Danda. The meadows are particularly mesmerizing in the early morning light or at sunset, transforming into a golden hue.
Surya top: Surya Top is an extension of our much-loved Dayara Bugyal trek. Trekkers often get teary-eyed upon reaching Dayara meadows on the Dayara Bugyal trek. They're floored by the endless grasslands, not to mention the big mountain views. Such is the setting of the meadows.
Scenic trek: Another highlight of Surya Top is the ridge walk from Devkund to Siyari. You have beautiful valleys on both sides. Mt Bandarpunch and Kalanag stand right in front of you. On top, it‘s not a regular straight ridge walk. It meanders, and as it does so, the mountains play hide and seek with you.
