Dayara Bugyal Trek

Overview

🗓️ 18 May - 23 May 2024

Cost: ₹12,999 + 5% GST

Dayara Bugyal trek at 12,300 ft is a favourite among trekkers of all levels.

The idea is to take you away from the noise & hustle of cities to living in pure nature. We'll trek, eat good food & hangout in the best spots with lakes, meadows, oak forests AND views of Garhwal Himalayan ranges. 🌳 🍃

The trip starts off in Dehradun (which happens to be your host, Somya's hometown so you know you have the best guide :P)

On day 2, we will start heading towards the Uttarkashi region where the trek will start. We will see panoramic views of Mt. Srikanth, Mt. Bandarpoonch, and Draupadi ka Daanda peaks in Garhwal range.

On the last day of the trip, we will stay in Dehradun where we can rest, relax & enjoy a celebratory dinner before heading back home.

If you're coming to this region for the first time, we can help you plan a trip to Rishikesh over the weekend (23rd to 25th) where you can go rafting, do bungee jumping or just chill & meet travellers from all around the world.

So come join us on this unforgettable summer adventure nestled in Himalayas in Uttarakhand.
