The Himalayan region is home to many ancient trails and paths leading to splendid meadows, alpine lakes, thick rich Coniferous forests and magnificent views of the massive Himalayas.
Dayara Bugyal is one such trail and maybe tops them all. This moderate trek starts from the picturesque village of Barsu in Uttarkashi and winds its way to the beautiful Dodital Lake. Barsu serves as the base for the Dayara Bugyal trek

Himalayan trekking is always a challenge for the mind and body, but the views on offer make it worth putting one step in front of the other. During the trek you will be treated to magnificent visuals of Himalayan giants like; Gangotri Massif (I, II & III), Jaunli (6,620 M), Srikanth (6,150 M), Draupadi Ka Danda I & II (5,643m & 5,770m), Bandarpunch( 6,320 M). Our trek would start from a quaint hamlet of Barsu and eventually over many days meander down to Agoda.
It is certainly a spectacular trek which offers thick rich Coniferous forests, alpine meadows and magnificent views of the massive Himalayas. For thousands of years Gujjars have come to these meadows to graze their cattle and bask in the magnificence of such natural beauty and abundance of natural resources for their livestock. Nestled between great Himalayan peaks like Bandarpunch (6,320m) & White Peak (6,102m) this is perhaps one of the most rich beautiful meadows to trek in Uttrakhand.
