Description
Dayara Bugyal is also known as the most picturesque high-altitude meadow, situated in the Uttarkashi District of the Uttarakhand region.
‘Bugyal’ in the local dialect means high-altitude meadow or pasture lands. ‘Nature’s own garden’ as one may describe it, is nestled between the Deodar, Pine, Oak, and Rhododendron forests. It is home to rich wildlife that includes wild foxes, porcupines, wild boar, and many more. Birds like Himalayan Monal, Vulture, Snow Pigeon, Robin, and Rosefinch are also easily sighted here. It is a perfect summer trek to witness the green meadows with the backdrop of the mighty Himalayas. These lush green meadows are developed into snow-white ski slopes during the winter season. Thus, in the winter season, it is frequented by adventure lovers to take pleasure in Nordic as well as Alpine skiing.
