Overview

The Dayara Bugyal Trek is a treasure in the Garhwal Himalayas, suitable for beginners and seasoned trekkers alike. Spanning over six days, the trek takes you through pine forests, highland meadows, and serene campsites before rewarding you with breathtaking views from Dayara Top at 11,873 ft.
Raithal, the trek’s base village, sets the tone with its warm hospitality and views of mountain ranges. From here, each day builds the excitement — from forested trails to the expansive bugyal (meadow) and finally the summit at Dayara Top. With short trekking days and gradual altitude gain, this trek is physically manageable yet visually stunning.
