Dayara Bugyal Trek

Dayara has the most snowfall of all of our visits, something few people are aware of. You can't always see the end of the whiteness because it's so huge and expansive.

In the winter, people enjoy seeing snow. It's rare to see it on such a grand scale as Dayara. Even rarer is catching a view of Mt Bandarpoonch and Black Peak, which rise 21,000 feet above Dayara. The sight of these mountains emerging from Dayara's snowscape is enough to inspire you to go on this hike.

But it isn't just these mountains. Mt Srikanth, Draupadi Ka Danda, and Mt Jaunli, among the other big mountains in the Gharwal Himalayas, may be seen in a full sweep, panning from left to right in a wide panorama.

A huge snow expanse can only be found at extremely high altitudes. This view point can be reached by climbing to around 12,000 feet in Dayara. Getting there is an adventure in itself. It takes some effort to climb through the trees, which have carpets of snow on their floors.

In the winter, the Dayara Bugyal climb offers a one-of-a-kind wide view. It isn't included in any of our winter vacation plans.
