The word ‘Bugyal’ means high-altitude meadow, and Dayara Bugyal lives up to its name with lush green pastures that stretch as far as the eye can see.
The trek to Dayara Bugyal takes you through dense oak and rhododendron forests, quaint Himalayan villages, and scenic streams, making it a perfect trek for both beginners and seasoned trekkers. During winter, the meadow is blanketed in snow, transforming it into a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding.
