HIGHEST ALTITUDE

Out of the other meadow treks in our country — Dayara Bugyal, Gidara Bugyal, and Bhrigu Lake trek — Ali Bedni Bugyal has the grandest of mountain views. That’s because of one thing —  the sight of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti jutting right out of the meadows.

Jutting out doesn’t mean you see the tops of these mountains, you see the entire face — almost 6000-7000 feet of it — rising right in front of you.

Ali Bedni Bugyal is a favourite trek for most of us at Indiahikes.  Watch this video to know why.

During Spring, the mountain views are at their sharpest and clearest, as the air is still crisp and clean from the winter months. The blue sky seems to stretch on forever. The landscape is unmarred by the haze and smog that can often plague the plains. The snow-capped peaks glisten in the sunlight . Soon, green meadows will start peeping out from under the snow.

By summer, you see meadows carpeted with fresh grass.

The surprise of finding yourself in Ali Bugyal after trekking through dense forests is unbeatable. The moment you get out of the shades of the forest cover, you see acres and acres of green carpet sprawled out in front of you. Mt Trishul, stands tall against the blue skies, making for a formidable backdrop. Horses and their foals tear themselves across the turf in an uninhibited abandon while the cattle graze lazily on this bounty.

The walk to Bedni Bugyal from here is exhilarating! It is a walk that tempts you to take off your shoes and feel this carpet for yourselves. The Bedni Bugyal is another stop in this meadow country – a strip of vibrant green, overlooking the western valley.  Popping right out of this meadow-like sentient, silent guards are the mountains of Trishul and Nanda Ghunti. If you climb the Bedni Top, other high risers of the imposing Chaukhamba range open up before you. These incredible settings make these twin meadows a must-do on the trekker’s bucket list.

Expert Speak

Arjun Majumdar, Founder, CEO

Here is Arjun Majumdar, Founder and CEO of Indiahikes talking about Ali Bedni Bugyal. Arjun is an entrepreneur by profession and a trekker by passion, Arjun started Indiahikes in 2008 with a vision to explore and document new trails, solve problems in the mountains and implement sustainable ways of trekking.

What I Like About the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek

1 . Grand Mountain Views From The Most Beautiful Meadows Of Our Country

You see Mt Trishul and Mt Nanda Ghunti in their grandest of views. They are jutting out. By jutting out I mean you see their full face, like the entire 6,000-7,000 feet of Mt Trishul right in front of you. Imagine the grandiosity with the sun setting on it. 

You haven’t seen such grand views on any trek. Forget about any meadow trek. 

To add to it, you are at around 11,500 feet with the evening rays on Mt Trishul, especially from Bedni Bugyal. It is a powerful sight. I have seen trekkers standing in these meadows with tears in their eyes. 

And I want you to watch this.

The views of Mt Trishul and Mt Nanda Ghunti on the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek are incomparable to any other trek. Picture by Dhaval Jajal.

2 . Unforgettable sunrises and sunsets while camping at Abin Kharak

You may not know this, but we have an extra camp near Ali Bugyal called Abin Kharak. This is just off the meadows. You can get in and out of the meadows quickly from here. 

Watch out for this campsite. You won’t get a more rewarding experience on a trek. Now you have the opportunity to not just see the sunsets but also the sunrise from these meadows.

3 . A unique experience of trekking through ancient and dense forests

The oak and rhododendron forest on the Ali-Bedni Bugyal trek are the densest I have trekked in. Perhaps, they are also the rarest because most of these trees are easily a thousand years old.

They are so grand and so old. And you are meandering through these trees with their roots all over the ground. It’s not something you will experience on most treks. 

Especially if you do it early in the morning, as we are going to be doing it. 

In many places, you see sunlight falling from spectacular angles. It’s a photographer’s delight to catch these sun rays falling through the leaves at charming angles. It creates lovely lighting.

Trek Trivia

Things Nobody Tells You About Ali Bedni Bugyal

• Myths or facts?

The Unheard Pahadi Myths of Shiva and Parvati

The Ali Bedni Bugyal trek has seeped into the Shiva-Parvati mythology. While such mythological stories find their way into every household as bedtime stories, theaw pahadi stories are rarely heard of.

The entire trail of Ali Bedni marks the journey of Shiva and Parvati and their children between Kumaon valley, Parvati’s home, and Kailash Manasarovar, where Shiva and Parvati lived after their marriage. The entire route does exist and covers an aerial distance of around 155 km. 

It is said that all of them carried out this journey every four years to visit Parvati's maternal home and then return to Manasarovar. 

The peaks of Nanda Ghunti, Trishul, Bethartoli and Bethartoli south symbolise Shiva, Parvati and their children. Today, when the sky clears and these four peaks can be seen, the Pahadis believe the four of them to have reached back to their home. 

Nanda Devi Raat Jaag Yatra (pilgrimage), which occurs roughly every 12 years, is carried out on the same path in remembrance and honour of this grand journey. One of the biggest Pahadi festivals, it has a participation of 1.5 Lakh people, who hike together barefoot through this trail.

The Myths and Facts around Laatu Devta

The temple of Laatu Devta in Wan is one of the most sacred temples. No one except one chosen priest is allowed to step inside it. The priest too, cannot go into the inner sanctum of the temple, except for a specific day and time. It is said that Laatu Devta still resides in the temple, and hence these rules. 

Surrounding this temple are huge coniferous trees which are said to be a thousand years old. Their trunks are so massive that it would take 7 to 8 people to hug one of them. 

This Devta and its temple play into the story of Shiva and Parvati's journey from Kumaon valley to Kailash Manasarovar and the Yatra (pilgrimage) along with it today. A four-horned goat, called Khaadu, symbolising Laatu Devta, not only walks along the trail covering this pilgrimage but leads it too. So, whenever a four-horned goat is born, it is raised to one day lead the Yatra. 

On the trail, all the pilgrims end their journey at Homkund lake. The Khaadu, however, walks ahead on its own, towards Manasarovar, and disappears into the mountains.

5 Reasons Why Indiahikes

When we brought out new trails in Indian trekking, safety came with us. Back in 2012, we were the first to introduce microspikes, and two years later, pulse oximeters became standard thanks to us. Nobody does safe treks like Indiahikes. In the mountains, emergencies don't care who you're with – everyone knows that when trouble hits, you look for the yellow tents of Indiahikes.

We are pioneers in trekking. Since 2007, we have brought out treks that have become India's most famous treks: Roopkund, Rupin Pass, Buran Ghati, Kedarkantha, Kashmir Great Lakes, Tarsar Marsar, Brahmatal, Phulara Ridge—the list goes on. In 2023 alone, we brought out five new treks in Indian trekking. We know treks better than anyone . This comes directly from the reason why Indiahikes was born: to bring out trek information and enable trekkers to trek on their own.

More than 25,000 people trek with us every year. We are the largest trekking organisation in India. 24% of our trekkers come back to trek with us every year. Over 4,000 students from the top educational institutions trek with us every year. Aside from this, families with children choose to trek with Indiahikes knowing that our treks are the safest. We have taken over 8000 children trekking so far, and the number continues to grow.

We focus on designing transformative experiences. Our trek leaders conduct thought-provoking exercises that help you reflect and contemplate. This impact stays with you for a long time. Trekkers return feeling energised, more confident, or developing abilities to deal with difficulties. Many have changed careers, rethought their core values, become more humble, shown gratitude to others, or started a new fitness journey.

Since 2012, we have pioneered sustainable practices that have become standard in trekking. Using eco-bags, our trekkers have cleared over 120 tonnes of litter from the mountains. We do not carry packaged foods; instead, we serve freshly made food. We do not light campfires; we carry coal to light angethis to keep you warm. Our bio-toilets not only keep our toilets odour-free but also enrich the soil. When you trek with us, you leave mountains better.

Indiahikes Features

Trekkaro team will specifically ensure your safety with...

1.  Daily oxygen saturation & pulse reading (if required in trek) We do treks that have a different environment than our daily life. We live in an environment where we less care about a healthy lifestyle. When it comes to doing treks or surviving in a not-so-pure environment for more than a day our body should accept the changes. Oxygen saturation is the fraction of [oxygen]-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin in the blood. So we ensure the specific balance of oxygen in your blood. Our team ensures the health condition by oxygen saturation and pulse reading before trekking so everyone should be aware of their health.

2.  Oxygen cylinders and medical kit  When it comes to high-altitude trek the body doesn't get enough oxygen. It’s not always that you cannot survive in high-altitude treks but for a safer side if your body is not adjusted to the environment we are always ready with the oxygen cylinders. Our team member carries the portable oxygen cylinder and all the basic medicines on the trek. To prevent high altitude conditions - do more exercise, cycle, and swim. The more you practice it’ll easier for you.

3.  Stretchers on every campsite  Although we are physically and mentally ready for the environment there are chances of accidents or uncertain things. In those situations, we have stretchers at every campsite so, in an emergency, the porter will safely drop you at base camp where we can do further treatment.

4.  High-Quality Trek Gear and Equipment  Trekkaro is the only trekking company in the world that provides Free Trekking Gear (FTG) at no charge/rent only for use during the treks. Expensive FTG includes Decathlon Quechua Trek 100 Shoes, Quechua SH 100/300 Jackets, Hiking Pole/Stick, Gaiters, and Crampons. Now, before registering for the trek, there is no need to think about the expensive trekking gear, and you also, do not need to buy or rent expensive trekking gear to go on a trek.

Trekkaro team will ensure you with quality tents and sleeping bags where you can survive in extreme cold. We provide sleeping bags that can hold cold up to -5 to -20 degrees Celsius. It’s always warmer in tents so we ensure you with quality shelter. So even though we are ready for the storm you should tell us if anything bothers you regarding safety.

5.  Radio (for communication between camps and guides) Our camps are a bit far from each other. But they connect through radio though the network is the issue in the hills. Although you miss anything or the weather is not good or we need medical help from the base we can communicate through radios.

6.  Technical team on all snowy slopes All the treks come up with an adventure. But safety is important in all trails and treks. Wherever we find risky slopes or areas we ensure the turn with the technical team. As we already mentioned earlier we have a well-trained team knowing handling hustles in emergencies and even knows how to take care of the trekkers.

Expectations

When you take an adventurous trek with us, then be assured that whatever we do is more than your expectations. Our wish to excel goes beyond the point where your boots hit the trail – it begins the moment that you get in contact with us, and it never ends. There is nothing more satisfying than hearing from our trekkers that they’ve just had “another trip of a lifetime with Trekkaro ”.

Your Expectations

•  Safety  Of course, this is a non-negotiable. Safety is embedded in our business and it’s something that we take very seriously in all our treks. It's the primary reason we're very popular in just a year.

•  Personalized Service, Care, and Attention to Detail  For some organizations, this is, surprisingly, negotiable. But it isn’t for us. After safety, if we can do one thing right, every time, it’s to ensure that we sweat the small things.

•  The Best Guides  If you are already trekking with us, then you’d be forgiven for thinking our guides are superhuman. It doesn’t mean a feat to entertain, cook, guide, and facilitate, but our guides, handle it with grace, and all the while the attention is on you.

•  The Best Itineraries  It takes a lot of refinement to make a perfect trek, from dawn to dusk there are a lot of moving parts and the potential for things to go awry. For the last year, we’ve balanced on the tightrope of offering the right amount of activity, flexibility, and trek time. Whilst utilizing the best lodgings in the most unique places.

The ascending path gradually opens up to vast grassy meadows adorned with a carpet of colorful flowers, creating a surreal ambiance.

As trekkers reach the higher altitudes, they are greeted by the mesmerizing beauty of Bedni Bugyal. The Bugyal, which means "meadow" in the local language, is a vast expanse of green grassland spread over an area of about 28 square kilometers. The sight of the undulating meadows, dotted with grazing cattle and surrounded by snow-capped peaks, is a feast for the eyes. Bedni Bugyal is especially known for its blooming wildflowers, including Brahma Kamal, daisies, orchids, and rhododendrons, which add vibrant hues to the landscape.

The reflection of the surrounding peaks on the calm waters of the lake creates a captivating sight that leaves a lasting impression on trekkers.

Bedni Bugyal also holds cultural significance. The area is associated with the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, a traditional pilgrimage that takes place once every 12 years. During this yatra, a procession carries the idols of Goddess Nanda Devi and her consort to Roopkund Lake, passing through Bedni Bugyal. The Yatra is a significant event that showcases the rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs of the region.

The Bedni Bugyal Trek is relatively moderate in terms of difficulty, making it suitable for both experienced trekkers and beginners. However, trekkers should have a reasonable level of fitness and endurance to navigate the trails and handle the changing altitudes. The trekking route passes through villages like Wan and Ghairoli Patal, where trekkers can experience the local way of life and interact with the warm-hearted villagers.

The best time to undertake the Bedni Bugyal Trek is from May to June and September to October. During these months, the weather is relatively pleasant, with clear skies and moderate temperatures. The meadows are in full bloom, offering a magnificent spectacle of colors. It is advisable to avoid the monsoon season due to heavy rainfall, which can make the trails slippery and increase the risk of landslides.

While trekking to Bedni Bugyal, it is important to respect the environment and practice responsible tourism. Trekkers should ensure that they leave no trace behind, carry their waste back, and follow the principles of Leave No Trace ethics. It is also recommended to trek with a local guide who has knowledge of the route, weather conditions, and safety precautions.

In conclusion, the Bedni Bugyal Trek is a journey that immerses trekkers

 in the natural beauty of the Himalayas, offering a blissful escape from the chaos of city life.

Frequently asked questions

Will there be water sources on the way will two liters of water be enough.

Our campsites are pitched near water sources. For your day’s trek, two liters of water should be enough. You will find water sources on the trek to refill your water bottles. Your trek leader will brief you about these before starting the day’s trek.

What is the washroom/toilet facilities like on the trek?

During the trek, toilet tents will be set up along each campsite. A toilet tent will have a deep pit, where one can answer nature’s call. There will be a mound of soil and a shovel to cover it up. These are dry toilets, where you’ll have to use toilet paper. This is the most hygienic and convenient way to answer nature’s call in the wild. Please use plain toilet paper and refrain from using wet wipes since these are not biodegradable.

What if it rains while trekking?

If it starts raining while you’re trekking, we will continue on the trail as planned. Your poncho should protect you from the rain. Carry a backpack cover for extra protection from rain for your belongings.

When it gets really cold can I consume alcohol?

Alcohol is dangerous in extreme cold, especially at high altitudes. Contrary to what people believe, alcohol does not make you warmer. Instead, it opens your pores, making your body colder. Moreover, it dehydrates you very quickly. Hence consumption of alcohol is absolutely prohibited on all Nomad Adventures treks. Anyone found with alcohol is quickly removed from the trek. Smoking, similarly, is not allowed on Nomad Adventures treks.

Are trek poles, jackets and other equipment available for rent from Nomad Adventures?

No, but there are shops on the base camp from where you can rent shoes, jackets and trek poles, headlights etc.

Do I need special snow shoes on this trek?

You don’t need special snowshoes. A good waterproof trekking shoe is sufficient for the trek. When there is snow, we provide micro spikes and gaiters.

Why is the trekking pole necessary?

A trekking pole gives you stability and balance and helps reduce fatigue.

What is the age limit?

The minimum age limit is 8 years. However, minors aged between 8 to 17 should be accompanied with their parents or guardians.

Ali Bedni Bugyal is an easy trek but it requires trekkers to be physically fit. The minimum age for eligibility is 8 years. As a parent or guardian if you feel your child can adapt to the conditions of the mountains and can walk as required, then certainly yes!. Please carry a medical certificate from your doctor that you are fit to undertake this activity.

Is there a mobile network on this trek? And, what about charging points?

The last electricity charging point would be in Lohajung. You’ll get a full network in Lohajung and intermittent signals around the campsites and Ali Bedni Bugyal summit. However, come prepared for the possibility of power cuts. It is good to carry your power banks and extra batteries for your camera.

I am solo female trekker. Do I need to share a tent with a male?

No, Female Trekkers share Room/Tent with female co-trekkers and the same applies to others.

Is it safe to trek with Nomad Adventures?

The best time to visit Ali Bedni Bugyal trek

Here’s a breakdown of these seasons:.

• Summer (May to June): This is the ideal time for trekking in Ali Bedni Bugyal as the weather is generally pleasant with clear skies. The temperatures during this period range from mild to cool, making it comfortable for trekking. The meadows are in full bloom, adorned with colorful flowers, creating a vibrant and picturesque landscape. However, keep in mind that this is also the peak season, so expect more crowds on the trail.
• Autumn (September to October): Another excellent time to visit is during the autumn months. The weather is cool and stable, offering clear views of the surrounding peaks.

The number of trekkers may be relatively lower during this season compared to summer.

It is important to note that the weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, and conditions can vary. Therefore, it is always advisable to check the weather forecast before planning your trek and to be prepared for sudden changes in weather, especially during the monsoon season and winter months.

Additionally, it is recommended to avoid trekking during the winter season (November to April) due to heavy snowfall and extreme cold temperatures, which can make the trek challenging and risky.

How Difficult Is The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek?

Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek Difficulty: The trek involves longer days with steep ascents and descents, making it moderately challenging due to endurance requirements.

Detailed Description: This 6-day trek spans from 7,550 ft to 12,550 ft, with an altitude gain of nearly 5,000 ft, posing a significant challenge.

Pre-trek preparation: Prior to the trek, aim for a cardiovascular endurance target of 5 km in 35 minutes. During the trek, ascending and descending approximately 5,000 ft over four days demands considerable endurance. Including daily jogging, gradually increasing pace, and including swimming and cycling can help preparation.

High Altitude Readiness: Preparation should include a blend of distance and speed goals to acclimate to high altitude conditions.

When Is The Best Time To Do The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek?

Generally, the summer season is considered the ideal time for the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek; however, Wild Voyages organises safe treks throughout the year."

Here's how Ali Bedni Bugyal looks in all seasons:

Spring: Nature Wakes Up (March to April)

In spring, Ali Bedni Bugyal wakes from its winter sleep. The sky is clear, and you might see some snow left on the meadows. Birds chirp happily as they explore the newly blooming landscape.

Summer: Flowers Everywhere (May to June)

Summer brings a burst of colour to Ali Bedni Bugyal. Wildflowers cover the fields, and the weather is excellent for hiking. Sometimes, a light rain cools things down, making it even more refreshing.

Monsoon: Time to Stay Inside (July to August) - Not a Good Idea

During the rainy season, it's better to stay away from Ali Bedni Bugyal. The paths become slick, and visibility is limited due to the rain and clouds. It's time for the mountains to rest.

Autumn: Picture Perfect (September to November)

Autumn turns Ali Bedni Bugyal into a photographer's dream. The sky is clear, and the colours of the meadows are stunning. With fewer people around, it's a peaceful time to enjoy nature's beauty.

Brief description.

Brief Itinerary

Detailed itinerary.

Arrive at Lohajung (2,243M)

Distance: 294 kms (Dehradun to Lohajung)

Duration:   11-12 hours drive

If you are driving with us, we begin our journey to Lohajung from ISBT Dehradun latest by 7 AM. It is located at a distance of 294 km from Dehradun and would take about 11-12 hours to cover. The landscapes throughout this drive are striking. 

(Note: In case you plan on reaching Lohajung on your own, this article will come handy should you need any assistance:  Click here )

The journey begins with a drive uphill that takes us through the Kumaon region into the Himalayan Belt of Garhwal. The roads here are extensive and the Shivalik ranges can be spotted at the horizon. The setting is tranquil; the river accompanies you swiftly throughout this stretch.

It gets exciting from here on. We pass through three of the five iconic confluences of the Alaknanda river (Devprayag, Rudraprayag and Karnaprayag) on the way to Lohajung.

A beautiful showcase of tradition, Devprayag, is the first confluence we pass by. It is the converging point of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers. You can clearly see the turquoise of one merging with the teal of the other in the valley below.

Forty kilometers from this point, we reach the historic town of Srinagar on the banks of Alaknanda; Rudraprayag lies further ahead from here.  It is the confluence of rivers Mandakini and Alaknanda.

About 33 km from Rudraprayag is the third confluence of Karnapraya, the meeting point of the Alaknanda and the Pindari River. Each confluence is unique in its setting and is a sight to behold!

Lohajung, located in the Chamoli district of the Garhwal Himalayas, is 86 km from Karnaprayag. Expect to reach Lohajung by late evening around 8-9 PM. If you are in need of any basic clothing or gear for your trek, you are likely to get it in Lohajung.

Tonight is in guesthouses; our last day of warm beds and hot meals before we leave for the trek tomorrow.

Lohajung (2,243M) to Tolpani (2,810M)

Distance: 7.5 kms

Duration: 4-5 hours

First day of our actual trek and we are going to one of the most beautiful campsites of the trek already – the jungles of Tolpani. We leave as early as 8 AM after an early breakfast. A 6 km drive on a bumpy road gets us to Kulling which is the trailhead of our trek. By 0830 AM we are all set to start our 7.5 km hike for today.

The day starts by going downhill for about 1.5 km, all the way to the clear waters of Neel Ganga. This 200M descend should take us 40 mins to cover. Once all the way down to the river, we cross over to climb the slopes on the other side. As you start to climb on this 400M long incline which brings us to Didna village, we see small hamlets stationed at the border of massive fields farming the red grain which goes by the name of Ram Dana and is a popular grain in this entire belt. On reaching Didna, we would have already covered 5 kms of distance for today and walked through stone-paved and dirt trails, oak forests and open lands.

A little distance further from Didna, we reach a clearing which can double up as our lunch point. From here on, the terrain alternates between ascents and flat regions through thick forests of Oak with the light filtering in from the little gaps in the canopy above. The winds rustle through the trees as loud as the rustle from the dry leaves on the forest floor under our feet. With a total ascent of 820M, we reach our campsite (a small clearing at the edge of the thick forest) in a little over 4.5 hours.

We reach our very first campsite on the trail just in time for some hot snacks and piping hot tea which is perfect to balance the chill in the air.

Tolpani (2,810M) to Abin Kharak aka Ali Bugyal (3,300M)

Distance: 6.5 kms

Duration: 4-4.5 hours

Onwards to the first of the twin bugyals today, we start by around 09:00 AM after the sun hits our camp. We continue on the terrain like yesterday, zigzagging uphill through the thickly forested land. The incline takes us close to 200M up to a small patch of flat land. This respite is short-lived however, before we hit another patch of 200M incline with the rustle of the leaves under our feet, the smell of forest in the air and a faint glimpse of the mountain peaks on the other side.

After the second patch of incline, the views suddenly open up and we are out of the forest as the rest of the world comes into view. Snow-capped mountains, the biggest of the Garhwal range, now stand tall to our left. Only small and fragmented patches of forest now. A hundred and fifty meters more, and the view opens up on both our sides with Trishul and Nanda Ghunti on one side and the rest of the range on the other including giants such as Chaukhamba. This is the start of the meadow. This is when we become fully aware of the expanse of the meadow as it spreads out far and wide in all directions around us. It is smaller humps from here on all the way to the campsite. The trail goes up and down on this open land with no respite from the winds knocking you silly from all directions – try to do your best to hold your ground!

The highest altitude we hit today is 3450M. The campsite is a 100M descent from here. The lower altitude provides a sanctuary from the wind by the way of being covered by a rock face on one side. With a total ascent of 650M for the day, expect to reach the campsite by late afternoon.

There are no water sources on our way today, remember to carry enough water from the campsite to last you the entire day.

You have the rest of the evening to explore the land and the meadows we left behind.

Ali Bugyal (3,300M) to Gehroli Patal (3,196M) via Bedni Top (3,803M)

Distance: 6.5 kms

Duration: 4-4.5 hours

The morning view from this campsite is nothing if not magical! Wake up to the sun painting the mountain a bright shade of honeydew right outside your tent.

After a mesmerizing introduction to one of the two bugyals yesterday, we head to our second climax today; Bedni Top which is also the highest altitude of the trek. We start early at 08:00 AM so that we can spend as much time on the top as possible.

We start off by climbing the 100M we descended yesterday to get to our campsite. This ascent brings us to the ridge from yesterday which we continue on for close to 300M uphill. This is gradual and pleasant. This should take us close to 1-1.5 hours. After this gradual ascent, we reach the base of the steep climb which will bring us to the best vantage point of the trek; Bedni Top.

A one kilometer hike to cover 210M of steep ascent is a bit strenuous but is only an hour long affair. If the climb didn't, the view from the top is sure to knock the air out of you. With a small stone temple with lots of prayer flags as is the tradition of any mountain top, it is time to face Trishul and Nanda Ghunti head on. With their full face jutting out of the ground; it is the first time you feel the full force of these massive peaks as they stand unmoving right in front of you. Don't be surprised if you find yourself glued to the ground, unable to move; these peaks have a way of doing that to you!

The wind here is free and untamed too, remember to cover up well. The descent down should only take about half an hour and we head back to our campsite after a full day.

Gehroli Patal (3,196M) to Lohajung (2,243M) via Wan Village

Duration: 3-3.5 hours

We have one more highlight before we end this trek. We start our day by around 08:30 AM after a wholesome breakfast. Since we are heading back down to our base village and losing altitude, today’s trek is mostly downhill on a stone-paved path through the enchanting oak forests. Within one hour of the trek, we start hearing the soothing sound of the river and 15 minutes from now, we start seeing it as well. It is only a matter of minutes before we are at 2620M and by the river side soaking our tired feet in its refreshing waters. We have already covered 2.5 kms for today.

Half an hour and a 150M ascent later, we reach the Rankandhar village which is at a vantage point to give you a view of small hamlets with step-farming fields stippled across mountain faces in all directions. The trail towards Wan village is full of Deodar trees. After 2 kms and a one hour descend, we are down to the trailhead from where we get our drive back to Lohajung to end the loop of this trek. It is a 40 minute drive at max to Lohajung where we will spend the night in the guest house. Expect to reach well in time for lunch.

Drive to Dehradun

Distance: 294 kms

Duration: 11-12 hours drive

After breakfast, we start for Dehradun at 9 AM. The journey once again takes us through the three confluences of Karnaprayag, Rudraprayag and Devprayag, only now, in reverse order. Expect to reach ISBT Dehradun by 8PM.

In case, you plan on traveling back to Delhi the same night, consider booking a bus that starts at around 11-12 PM to account for any delays we might encounter on the way.

Small Group Size

Our batch sizes are capped at 15 for smaller treks with the trek leader and trekker ratio of 1:8. This ratio, in our years of experience, has proven to deliver the best trekking experience for individuals as well as groups. Capping the size of the group ensures individual attention to each trekker so that no signs of distress or need during the trek go unnoticed. It also helps to form a more cohesive cohort with better group energy which helps define the rhythm and pace of days on the trek. As you go higher up on the BRS scale, since the stakes are higher, expeditions have an even smaller group size with the ratio of expedition leader to climber set at 1:2.

Qualified Trek Leaders

We follow a rigorous regime of hiring and training our experts in the field. Each trek leader is a certified mountaineer with years of experience in the field. In addition to their qualification, they also go through practical and situational training to tackle any and all kinds of sudden conditions that may present themselves on the ground. Being unpredictable is the core nature of the mountains but being ready for any circumstance as best as possible is a controllable asset that we try to nurture. Our field experts are also trained in basic medicine and first-aid response. Watch: Forerunners - The Making of A Trek Leader At Bikat Adventures

Brief Itinerary

Detailed itinerary, day 1 – drive from rishikesh to the village wan.

Reach the enigmatic, pious and zestful city of Rishikesh either the previous night or early in the morning

to kick start your excursion in time. It is best to leave early from Rishikesh to reach Wan just in time

to be able to catch the electrifying and mind-boggling sunset. On an average, it takes approximately 10

hours to reach Wan from Rishikesh; you will be covering a distance of 259kms in the mean time.

DAY 2 – Trek from Wan village to Ghairoli Paataal

Day 3 – trek from ghairoli paatal to ali bedni bugyal and back, day 4 – trek from gehroli patal to wan, day 5 – a day hike to monaal top, day 6 - drive back to rishikesh/dehradoon.

Rishikesh is a popular pilgrim city in Uttarakhand which can be easily reached via various modes of  transport. It is best to use public transport to reach the city. You can board a flight to Dehradun and  then take a bus or taxi to reach Rishikesh or you can board a flight to the capital of the country and then  board a train to reach the city. These are the two most common modes of reaching Rishikesh, although  there are many other ways of reaching the city from different states. A quick Google search should be  sufficient to help you figure out most things. Since you will leave early from Rishikesh on the first day of  your excursion, it is ideal to arrive in Rishikesh, a day prior to the first day of excursion. There are plenty  of tourist spots that can be explored and visited in Rishikesh if you reach there well in advance. If you  have sufficient time river rafting, visiting the Ganga Aarti Sthal and visiting the Laxman Jhula are some  activities that you can look forward to.

No words for the bike trip from Srinagar to Leh. One should experience it to feel it and all this because of the management of Trekmunk especially Mohit and Harshit whose efforts even made the hardest of the ride exciting adventurous and above all safe. Although some hindrances which are quite common like bike issues and medical problems arose with our co-riders, I liked the way these two guys handled it dexterously. I went with one of my best friends and came with a lot more and the trip turned out to be memories that can be cherished for a lifetime. Thanks, Team Trekmunk for giving me a wonderful experience. I can't wait to go on my next adventure with them.

Our 7 days trip to Meghalaya was a truly memorable experience. Thank you Trekmunk for arranging such an adventurous backpacking trip and a special thanks to Mohit Goswami our trip leader for giving us an experience of what true travelling is. From hitchhiking to traversing the unknown places to eating delicious Momo's to climbing 3000 steps, we did it all in those 7 days which came to end so quickly and none of us wanted to go back home. Such an experience where you just pick up your rucksacks and walk down the roads of a traveller could have been only possible because of Trekmunk!

I chose (after a lot of research) Trekmunk for my first trek - The Hampta Pass and Chandratal Trek. And I am so really glad I did so. The trekker needs to only focus on the trek and the beautiful landscape around him/her. The rest of everything is taken care of by Trekmunk from day 1 till the end of the trek. Scrupulously managed logistics; no compromise on safety and security; experienced, intelligent and knowledgeable trek leaders; scrumptious meals; contingency and backup plans; etc. make Trekmunk an ideal choice to go trekking with. My trek was lead by Ashish Pathania, Prashant Reddy and Sanjay Thakur. The three are were thorough professionals. They were jolly, very helpful, experienced, knowledgeable, organized, and needless to say polite yet strict when needed. They played the most important roles in making sure our overall trekking experience was a wonderful one. Thank you Trekmunk for one of the most beautiful experiences I have had till date. Will see you guys soon.

We were a group of 12 friends and booked a trek to Kedartal with Trekmunk, it was an amazing experience..even though it was our first trek to the Himalayas and Kedartal being a difficult terrain trek we were guided excellently by the Trekmunk team. They served us nutritious food, took complete care of our safety and health and gave us the right advice to overcome AMS. Eagerly awaiting our next trek with them.

I and my friends went to Markha Valley trek with Trekmunk and we all had a great time. Walking up and down the hill, coming across some beautiful sites was mesmerizing. Staying in tents was so much fun. And our guide had all the knowledge about the trek. Trekmunk is really good with its food and accommodation facilities. I highly recommend Trekmunk. Kudos to their Team.

Ali Bedni Bugyal

About Ali Bedni Bugyal

Ever dreamt of trekking to the endless lush green grassy highlands just how the movies picturize huge Castles located in the middle of nowhere amidst huge gigantic alpine mountains with beautiful cattle grazing and adding beauty to such meadows? So we thought of making your dream come true by adding you to our most anticipated trekking location –

the Two best Bugyals of Uttarakhand called The Ali Bedni Bugal. “Bugyal” which means Meadows, there’s no doubt that Uttarakhand being God’s own Land has such beautiful meadows comparable to The Scottish Highlands. Numerous huge Mountains can be seen all around you welcoming you to enjoy their Sunrise and Sunsets turning the whole place into a Golden Hue. Trekking through the meandering ascents and descents of the Himalayan trail, via dense forests of Oak, Pine, Deodar and other Conifers will lead you to an array of wide 360° panoramic view of Meadows where all of a sudden the forests disappear and all you would see is endless acres of grasslands with lush green nature, the blue sky boasting and layering its bed of clouds with the gigantic mountains standing tall around you nestling the best kind of landscape. One may come across various unknown mountainous flora blooming all over the carpet of grasslands in the summer time. Make sure to perceive every bit of the view and imprint the same in your memory. Walking through this magnificent path would definitely take you to a silent zone of tranquillity restructuring your mind to inhibit the place for the rest of your lives. Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal both being different points happen to have an equal amount of excitement though the latter happens to have more crowd than the former because of its tough trail. But that’s how it is when it comes to trekking, we try to achieve every adventurous heights to accomplish and fulfill our trek to every bit.

Beauty of the Ali Bedni Bugyal

Ali Bedni Bugyal falls at the border of the GARHWAL and KUMAON region of Chamoli at a height of 11,686 ft above MSL. Lohajung which is at a height of 7,600 ft follows a downhill trek of 6,700 ft before reaching the Bedni Kund. Being one of the perfect treks for Beginners, you can feel the excitement right from Dehradun when you start your journey en route Rishikesh, Devprayag, Karnprayag, Rudraprayag, Mundoli and so on to Lohajung. The whole range of smaller to bigger mountains will never leave your side and will accompany you till the end. Various flora and fauna will fascinate you to an extent where you start collecting each of its types for a herbarium of your own. Tall dark coniferous trees ageing besides the hilly roads will welcome you all along the journey. Curvy hilly roads till Lohajung which is initially the base camp for the Brahmatal Trek is full of fascinating views pacing up your heartbeat with each turn. You would not want to blink your eye for you would not want to miss the view of the foggy and misty roads during the winters. Trekkers tend to also make a trip to Roopkund for its beautiful biodiversity and the long-known ancient ‘Mysterious Skeleton Lake’ before when it was open. But since the banning of the Roopkund Trek, trekkers are crowding more in Bedni Bugyal as Roopkund is quite visible from the peak satisfying our trekking community well enough. You would be lucky enough to come across the blooming rhododendrons in the summertime. Be ready to visualize the unforgettable Sunrises and Sunsets through the mountains turning them look more golden (or red-orange) in the golden hour. The Rhododendrons and Oaks have aged enough creating huge dense forests en route the whole trek before entering the Meadows. Perhaps they can also be considered to be the rarest of all other flora in the area. If you are planning to visit this place during the winters, get ready to meander through soft blankets of snow with a large canopy of rhododendrons showering snowfall from its twisted arms above your head. What a heavenly Narnia feel that is! You will notice how those horses and other cattle graze lazily in these alpine Meadows enjoying every tiny bit of it’s turf. The trek may be steep at certain points challenging you to keep up with your strain but it definitely pays you off with the surprise it awaits at the end. Camping at the Campsites with your colleagues and other co-mates adds more fun to this trek. What’s more, is that you would not be getting any electricity or network right after Lohajung making the trek run more peacefully without any disturbance of the outer world.

Best Season to visit Ali Bedni Bugyal

Be it Summer or Winter, every season has its own charm giving the trekkers a unique experience of viewing and enjoying the trek. Ali Bedni-Bugyal is famous for its meadows and wide grasslands which attracts the trekkers in any season. People often ask this question of when is the best time to trek Ali Bedni Bugyal? The best time would be in Summer i.e., April- June, As you’ll be experiencing the meadows covered with lush greenery and wildflowers surrounded by the beautiful Himalayas.

Considered to be one of the biggest Meadows of India, this place remains less crowded due to its curvy tricky trail but definitely takes your full attention when you reach at your destination. During winters, you cannot resist the snow-covered Meadows enchanting you to the depth of your heart. The snowy path with dense dark forests becomes a way beautiful trek among all other trekking trails. Not to forget are the beautiful photographs you should capture before moving further as a memory to this awesome trek. Though considered to be an easy trail yet is going to be challenging for its steep ascending rocky trail.

Day 4 : Ali Bugyal to Bedni Bugyal, 2 km approx.

(Day 4 which is basically the second of our main trek to Bedni Bugyal falls at a height of 3,354 meters. Our plan will be, to reach Bedni Bugyal, roam about and return downhill towards Geruli Paatal for camping. The total trek would be about 6 km.)

Bedni Bugyal connects the trails towards Roopkund which is almost near to the Wan Village. Mt. Trishul and Nanda Ghunti can be seen clearly standing tall against your face around the whole wide alpine Meadow you gonna reach to. This lush green alpine Highland adorns itself with varieties of floras amazing you at every step you take. Bedni Bugyal is quite famous and imprinted in the minds of enthusiasts. Not to forget, is a beautiful small lake named ‘Bedni Kund’ also locally called Vaitarani situated amidst the Meadow. The highlights of the flora community are the ‘Brahm Kamal’ which takes our attention at such a height. This meadow has the ability to overpower any other trekking locations especially a Meadow trek spot. Boasting about its humongous acres of land along with the Grandeur of the mountains, this place will run down a chill to your spine once you reach the spot. Being the highest Bugyal of Uttarakhand, trekkers are definitely going to face Heaven on Earth. It is also a major stopover for tourists and devotees during the ‘Nanda Devi Raj Jaat Yatra’ – A very Famous ritual procession taking place once in an every 12 years. People used to trek Roopkund as they used to come to visit this Yatra before. After spending much time having to enjoy and feel every bit of its calm nature, we come down for our night stay at our campsite in Geruli Paatal which is around 3-4 kilometres from Bedni Bugyal. A total trek of 6 km will be done on this day. Again the camping is done amidst dense oak forest enjoying a nice bonfire with all the people enjoying to their fullest.

Day 5: Geruli Paatal to Neelganga to Wan Village and Back to Lohajung, 10km approx.

(Day 5, today we will be moving back to Lohajung but by a different route which is from Geruli Paatal to Neelganga and then to the very famous Wan Village And finally to Lohajung by car.)

Today we return back to Lohajung but before that, we have a surprise for our trekkers. A whole new beautiful trail from Geruli Paatal to Neelganga and then to the obscured Wan Village from where we return to Lohajung by Car. The trail can be as heavenly as one can imagine it to be. Through the ridges of the alpine Meadow, this trails calls for some mind-blowing scenery along the trek. Big outcrops with huge grassy outlands are what this trail is going to surprise you with. Wan village is an obscured but a favourite resting spot for all the trekkers going or returning from Roopkund or Homkund treks. This small unknown yet the magical village has its own charm due to its untouched greenery and less or no visitors. With very few people nestling in this village, the trekkers can take a nice short rest and fill up their water bottles if needed. Though many people also choose to stay in the provided accommodations by the villagers to feel the whole quiet and serene vibe of the place. The lush greenery is what attracts these people the most. Also, one more reason to stay in this village is the famous ‘Laatu Devta Temple’ which is known to be very powerful and religious by the locals. It is said to have absolutely no visitors just anytime. The door of the temple is usually closed and opens at the time of April mostly. Locals usually came up with many ancient stories, one of which is that at this time King Cobra is said to arrive in the temple with its Pearl Stone and the Priest of the temple blindfolds himself while praying and only he is allowed to enter the doors of the temple. The other people are allowed to pray from about 75 metres away from the shrine. But it is yet unknown to the people if there’s actually something such that arrives inside the s babyhrine. This place is mythologically and religiously followed by the locals. Return to Lohajung is done by car the same day which will be from our side only. Reaching this place by late Afternoon asks for a long rest with a good heavy meal and adding in the last few memories of the place in our travel book. Make sure to grasp every single bit of fun and enjoyment.

Day 6 : Lohajung to Dehradun.

Today, we return back to our main destination point Dehradun by Bus after our breakfast. We will be definitely missing every bit of the trails we’ve covered in the last 6 days, the fun, the tiredness, the scenes, the laughter, everything that added colour to this beautiful trek. The locals and their children will be overwhelmingly expecting you to visit them again. As for us, we will definitely as usual always bid a sad Sayonara and expect a hopeful Howdy for the next adventurous trek trip.

The stunning views of Nanda Ghunti and Trishul, the tranquil beauty of Bedni Bugyal, and the surreal allure of Ali Bedni Bugyal itself made the trek an unforgettable experience. We were not only immersed in nature but also enriched by the local culture and spirituality. Thanks to FirstTrek, this trek was a life-changing experience that I will cherish forever.

Ali Bedni Bugyal was a magical experience. The meadows were a riot of colors with wildflowers, and the view of Nanda Devi is etched in my memory. However, the trek can be physically demanding, so ensure you're adequately prepared. Overall, a fantastic adventure in the lap of nature!

The spiritual energy of Ali Bedni Bugyal is palpable. The meadow is not only a visual delight but also a place of deep serenity. The small temple dedicated to Nanda Devi adds a sacred touch to the trek. A transformative experience that touches your soul.

Ali Bedni Bugyal is a birdwatcher's paradise! I spotted various Himalayan avian species, including the colorful Himalayan Monal. The trek itself was challenging but rewarding. If you're a nature and bird enthusiast, don't miss this gem.

As a photographer, Ali Bedni Bugyal was a visual feast. Every frame I captured here was a work of art. The combination of lush meadows, dense forests, and the snow-capped peaks is a photographer's dream come true. Truly a piece of heaven on Earth.

About Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek

The subtle delicacy of this Himalayan sojourn enamors one with the grandest grandeur of twin grasslands. Ali Bedni Bugyal trek is the beautiful amalgamation of 2 scenic meadows -Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal. These mammoth meadows stun you with an infinite expanse of green carpet flanked by the Himalayan giants of Mount Trishul and Nanda Ghunti. The colossal Himalayan ranges stretching from Chaukhamba to Neelkanth to Mandani, Mrigthuni, and Kedarnath are the prime attractions of the trek. The imposing peaks resplendent with the golden rays of the sun at dawn and dusk are a sight to behold. Meandering trails through thick Conifers and deep dark woods are soaked with natural splendor. The winding trails are lined by the fauna of oak, rhododendrons, walnut, pear, and Himalayan roses. As one journey along, the warbling wind and chirping of mountain birds are your constant companions. What strikes you in the face is the sudden epiphany of the lush blanket as soon as the dense tree line disappears. You spend 2 days in this lavish bounty of verdurous greenery.

All this plus one gets a chance to explore the mountain villages of Didna & Wan and learn about the customs & lifestyles of the local populace. The temples of Nanda Devi and Latu Devta (local deity) offer a devout rendition of the trek. Bedni Kund at the Bedni top is a site of religious reverence for locals. The once famous Roopkund trek was a part of this trekking trail. The twin meadows were the major highlights on the Roopkund Trek. Due to the ban by the honorable High Court of Uttarakhand, Roopkund Trek cannot be undertaken until further notice. The Ali Bedni trekking trails are much quieter and calmer as a result of this ban.

About Ali Bedni Bugyal

Perched at an elevation of 12,550 feet, Ali Bedni Bugyal is known to be Asia’s largest grassland sitting in the Himalayan lap. It is strategically located on the border of Garhwal and Kumaon region, in the state of Uttarakhand.

Bugyal means alpine meadows in the local dialect. The high-altitude bugyals always grow above 10,500 feet and below 13,000 feet.

If Ali Bugyal is flanked by a dense coniferous forest on its slopes, the pretty mountain lake of Bedni Kund compliments the beauty of Bedni Bugyal. The clear reflection of the majestic Mt. Trishul massif on the crystal-clear waters of Bedni Kund is simply surreal. The magnificent view of the revered Mount Trishul at the sprawling Ali Bugyal is imposing. At Bedni, Mt. Trishul and Nanda Ghunti stand tall as if safeguarding the rolling meadow under their protective embrace.

History of Ali Bedni Bugyal

Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal are the landmarks of the famous Roopkund trek. Sadly, the Roopkund trek has been banned due to the damage caused to biodiversity because of excessive trekking.

These double meadows provided the ideal ground for acclimatization to the high-altitude Roopkund Trek. A 23 km trek from Bedni Bugyal led to the once-famous Roopkund trek.

The basecamp of Lohajung is rooted deep in a legend. History has it that Goddess Parvati killed demon Loha at Lohajung. He blocked her way when she was going to meet her paramour the revered Lord Shiva in the mountains.

The subtle delicacy of this Himalayan sojourn enamors one with the grandest grandeur of twin grasslands. Ali Bedni Bugyal trek is the beautiful amalgamation of 2 scenic meadows Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal. These mammoth meadows stun you with an infinite expanse of green carpet flanked by Himalayan giants of Mount Trishul and Nanda Ghunti.

The gorgeous meandering meadows of Ali Bedni Bugyal are amongst the most beautiful alpine meadows of Uttarakhand. It is located at the border of Garhwal and Kumaon in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Out of the other meadow treks in our country — Dayara Bugyal, Gidara Bugyal, Bhrigu Lake trek — Ali Bedni has the grandest of mountain views. That’s because of one thing — the sight of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti jutting right out of the meadows.

Jutting out doesn’t mean you see the tips of these mountains, you see the entire face — almost 6000-7000 feet of it — rising right in front of you.

Imagine the golden rays of the setting sun lighting up this grand face of the mountains. 

The colossal Himalayan ranges stretching from Chaukhamba to Neelkanth to Mandani, Mrigthuni, and Kedarnath are the prime attractions of the trek. The imposing peaks resplendent with the golden rays of the sun at dawn and dusk are a sight to behold. Meandering trails through thick Conifers and deep dark woods are soaked with natural splendor. The winding trails are lined by the fauna of oak, rhododendrons, walnut, pear and Himalayan roses. As one journey along, the warbling wind and chirping of mountain birds are your constant companions. What strikes you in the face is the sudden epiphany of the lush blanket as soon as the dense tree line disappears. You spend 2 days in this lavish bounty of verdurous greenery.

This entire plus one gets a chance to explore the mountain villages of Didna & Wan and learn about the customs & lifestyles of the local populace. The temples of Nanda Devi and Latu Devta (local deity) offer a devout rendition to the trek. Bedni Kund at the Bedni top is a site of religious reverence for locals. The once famous Roopkund trek was a part of this trekking trail. In fact, the twin meadows were the major highlights on the Roopkund Trek. Due to the ban by the honorable High Court of Uttarakhand, Roopkund Trek cannot be undertaken until further notice. The Ali Bedni trekking trails are much quieter and calmer as a result of this ban.

Day 1 Depart from your hometown to Rishikesh via Train/flight

Day 2 arrival at rishikesh and check-in into hotel, day 3 drive rishikesh to lohajung [7,600 ft (2,316 m)].

Lohajung is the base camp for the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek. You drive along mountain roads, through forests. You also get glimpses of the Garhwal Mountains in the distance on a clear day once you reach Lohajung, you find yourself face to face with the beautiful Nanda Ghunti peak. If you reach before sunset, the colours of the peak will enthral you. There are a couple of local stores where you can buy jackets, hand gloves, caps, shoes etc. if need be. You will have a mobile network in most parts of Lohajung. Lohajung, as the locals say, is the place where Goddess Parvati had a war (jung) with the demon, Lohasur. Hence, the name which translates to ‘War with Lohasur.’

Day 4 Lohajung to Didna

This is a well-marked trail descending through mixed forests. All along your walk to Raun Bagad/Kulling you hear the whistles of the thrushes, the soft chirps of the swallows among the Rhododendrons. Below, the Wan river tumbles about as it rushes to meet the Bedni Ganga and seemingly out of the depths of the river, you’ll spot Lammergeiers, their massive wings stretched out catching the eddies. If you have taken the route on the road, Kulling village springs out on you at a bend (6 kms from Lohajung, 7,650 ft). Kulling is a cluster of 20 odd houses set against the emerald green of stepped hills. From the Kulling village, it is quite a descent to the Wan River. The trail starts to climb right after you cross the river. It is a zig-zag climb to Didna. The climb’s moderate but your legs tire easily. Breathing hard, you’ll reach Didna in about an hour and half’s time. Stretch it to two if your conditioning isn’t great. Didna village can be a bit confusing with many trails running into it. Stick to the trails that go around the village on the outer periphery — they lead directly to the Didna homestay, a clearing 200 ft above the village.

Day 5 Didna to Ali Bugyal [11,185 ft/3409 m]

Didna is an ideal homestay with a clear stream running down to its right. The campsite gazes across the valley. Lohajung, Kulling and Wan span left to right in a sweep. Behind you through the Oak forest, high above is your highlight for the next part of the trek – the twin meadows of Ali and Bedni Bugyal. Start your day by walking towards Tolpani, a cluster of shepherd’s hut 3 kms away and a 1,000 ft higher. The trail to Tolpani moves away from the general direction of Ali Bugyal. The climb, however, is a good one through some of the densest oak you’ll see. Under you are a never ending brown carpet of leaves. Once you are on the ridge leading to the twin meadows, turn around start walking towards them. The forest continues to flaunt the trail on either side. After walking for a shade under 3 kms, the landscape suddenly opens up. Soak in the mesmerising sight of the undulating meadows of Ali Bugyal. You are on the top of a ridge that spreads in every direction. Acres and acres of green meadow scooped out of the mountainside. Ali Bugyal campsite is series of climb right out of the forest, a depression in the bugyal. Stay at Ali bugyal campsite the night here.

Day 6 Ali Bugyal to Bedni Bugyal Top and back to Ali bugyal [12,550 ft]

Clouds drift in from below, glide over the ridge and slide down the either side, all in a slow swift motion. You watch countless horses grazing on the bounty of nature. Foals tearing themselves across the turf in an uninhibited abandon, just being themselves. The climb over, leisurely walk your way to Bedni Bugyal, 5 kms away and more or less at the same level. If you are tempted to take off your shoes and allow the feel of the carpet on your toes, just go ahead and do it! The weather fluctuates in these parts and you can have moments of wild sunshine followed by anxious cloud cover. Keep your raincoat handy. Sometimes it rains for a few minutes leaving you frustrated, at times it could rain for a few hours. An “L” in the folds of the mountain and the Bedni Bugyal unfolds below you, a heavenly strip of green overlooking the western valley. Take the trail heading to back to Ali bugyal

Day 7 Ali Bugyal to Wan. Drive from Wan to Lohajung [8,061 ft/ 2457 m]

From Ali Bugyal, it is a steep ridge descent to the Neel Ganga. Take your time because you will rarely see a more wondrous stretch of forest cover. The bridge on the Neel Ganga is an idyllic location to wash the dirt and grime of the long trek. Trees overhang the river and the water trips and falls over boulders in the shade. The water is cool and refreshing. From the river it is a short half-hour climb to the ridge above wan village. There are many routes to the bottom of the wan village, and all roads eventually lead down to the road junction (Kasar Bagad) near the hydel project. It takes about an hour and half to get down to Kasar Bagad. It is a steep descent. There is an alternative longer route to get down to Wan. From the ridge top of Wan, take themain trail that runs to the right. Follow the trail until it reaches the Cyprus trees at the lower wan village. Spend time looking at the Cyprus trees because they are centuries old! You’ll take a jeep from Wan to Lohajung.

Day 8 Drive from Lohajung to Rishikesh.

You’ll leave for Rishikesh early in the morning and reach Rishikesh in the evening. Check-in into hotel

Day 9 Move towards your hometown from Rishikesh

Day 10 back to your place with lots of memories.
