Dayara Bugyal, a high-altitude meadow near Uttarkashi, is considered one of the most beautiful alpine meadows in India. Ideal trek for
long weekends, it can be a perfect start for beginners. This region receives heavy snowfall during winters. The trek goes through
open land and dense forest at different places ending up at the vast expanse of lush green meadow. The splendour of the high
mighty Himalayan peaks like the Bhagirathi, Bandarpoonch, Draupadi ka Danda, Black Peak and others cradling Dayara is a truly
breathtaking sight.
