Uttarakhand has no shortage of beautiful and adventurous treks. Situated in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, Dayara Bugyal is known to be one of the most beautiful yet diverse treks. This region offers a lush green view of the entire meadow during the summer or spring season, and the same verdant land turns into a white carpet of snow when winter arrives making it not less than any other winter paradise.

 

This trek is considered as the gateway for trekkers to the trekking world. The grassy vast lands are located away on mountain laps where the locals take their cattle and graze their herds in the summer season before the winter follows and leave them fallow for the next few months.

 

The trek route makes way through the dense pine forest and oak trees before ending on a vast land of meadow, offering a scenic mesmerizing view. The entire trail to the top is like a rollercoaster ride, you will encounter myriad adventures en route.

 

The gradual ascend till the Dayara top makes it a perfect beginner’s level trek and can even be done by a 7-8 years old child. However, in the winter, the same trek route gets a tad bit tougher and counts under easy to moderate level trek.

 

This lush green expanse of the meadow is a great place to ski during winters. The entire meadow and trees get covered with the snow blanket making it look like a snow carnival. The crushing of the fresh snow underneath your shoes and the frozen tree branches coupled with the chilled air tingling the nose leaves trekkers refreshed and energetic unceasingly.

 

Another handpick reason to plump for the winter trek is that it offers a  spectacular view of Mt. Bandarpoonch and  Black Peak which are elevated at 6,316 and 6,387 ft above sea level respectively.
