About This Trek

Dayara Bugyal - One of Garhwal’s Finest Meadows

Dayara Bugyal meadow with Himalayan snow peaks

Dayara Bugyal sits in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand - a wide high-altitude meadow (bugyal) famous for open grassland, winter snow and clear views toward Bandarpoonch, Black Peak and the Gangotri range.

The usual trail starts from Raithal (about 180–190 km / 7–8 hrs from Dehradun). You climb through oak and rhododendron forest to Gui camp, then walk out onto the meadow. Optional push to Bakaria Top (~3,750 m) for a wider panorama.

One clear price: ₹7,999 per person for 4 Days 3 Nights. Transfers, trek guide, camping, sleeping support and trek meals are included - you focus on the trail.

Best: Apr–Jun & Sep–Nov · Snow: Dec–Mar
