Description
Phulara Ridge Trek lies in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary. As you would know there are many pristine treks in this sanctuary of Uttarkashi district, Phulara is one of them! It is the rare ridge trek in Uttarakhand but unlike others, it has not seen many footsteps that differentiates it from other places.
Actually Phulara Ridge is a type of large spread forest (bugyals). Throughout the year this region is covered with greenery and beautiful flowers like Brahmakamal and Fankamal (many others species ).
The high mountain chain and the wonderful evergreen valleys lie here and that is the main reason behind the growth of a maximum number of natural vegetation in this high altitude region.
In winter Phulara Ridge is mostly covered with snow and little fog and that makes it much more interesting for visiting the next view after every step that takes you along with it to the forward.
