Dayara Bugyal is one of the most breathtaking high-altitude meadows in India, spread across a vast expanse at over 3,500 metres in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. The word “Bugyal” means alpine meadow in the Garhwali language — and Dayara lives up to that name magnificently.
In summer, the meadow blazes with wildflowers — purple iris, white anemone, and yellow primrose carpeting the hillsides as far as you can see. In winter, the entire landscape transforms into a pristine snowfield, one of the finest natural ski slopes in India. Framing it all are the Himalayan giants: Bandarpunch, Srikanth, Kala Nag, Gangotri, and Jaonli.
This is the ideal trek for first-timers who want a real Himalayan experience without extreme altitude or technical difficulty — and equally perfect for seasoned trekkers seeking a peaceful, scenic escape.
