Overview: The Unforgettable Ridge Walk
The Phulara Ridge Trek is one of Uttarakhand’s most visually rewarding trails, offering an experience unique in the Himalayas: a long, exhilarating walk along a high-altitude mountain ridge. Unlike traditional treks that peak at a summit, this journey gives you hours of panoramic 360-degree views from the spine of the mountain, making you feel as though you are walking in the sky. The trek is a perfect mix of dense alpine forests, serene campsites (like Juda Ka Talab), and the vast, undulating Pushtara Meadows. Starting and ending at the beautiful village of Sankri, Phulara Ridge is an ideal moderate trek for beginners and seasoned trekkers alike.
Trek Highlights
