About This Adventure
Dayara Bugyal is one of the widest high-altitude meadows in the Garhwal Himalaya — an undulating grassland plateau with unobstructed 360° views of peaks including Bandarpunch, Srikanth, and Gangotri group. The approach from Raithal through forest is equally beautiful.
Highlights
What Makes It Special
The sheer scale of the bugyal — you can see the horizon curve. In October the meadow turns amber and rust. In December it disappears under snow. Every season offers a different world.
