Overview

Dayara Bugyal, often regarded as India’s most scenic bugyal (high-altitude meadow), offers an 11 km beginner trek from Raithal village. The trail weaves through enchanting oak, deodar, pine, and rhododendron trees. As you ascend to the meadow at 3,408 m, the breathtaking Himalayan panorama unfolds, revealing peaks like Bandarpoonch, Black Peak, Srikanth, Jaonli, and Draupadika Danda. Trekkers find shelter in tents and local chaani huts, and water is easily accessible from streams and creeks. While winter blankets it in snow, making it a prime destination for Nordic and Alpine skiing enthusiasts. Given the fragile nature of bugyal ecosystems, it’s vital to travel responsibly to maintain a harmonious balance between ecology and the environment.

I went on Dayara Bugyal Trek with my friends and that was a wonderful experience. Because it was our first time that's why we book our package with AdventuRush. And they did a fabulous job. Very good service by AdventuRush and their ground team.
