Dayara Bugyal Trek

Why Dayara Bugyal Trek ?

The Dayara ridges can be seen right from the lawns of  at Barsu. It is an easy-moderate climb with some stiff edges in between. Barnala, a small meadow, is on top of the first ridge. Take the pathway that goes beside the wall of the  Passing the village fields.

The fields give way to trees within ten minutes of the climb. The trees, a mix of local deciduous varieties, oak and rhododendron, create a beautiful mix of colors when their leaves glisten in the morning sun. The trail to the high alpine meadow !

Dayara Bugyal is through the Barnala meadows. The landscape is picturesque and the dense forests lend a sneak peak of the greater Himalayas.
