Camping in Bugyals

Dayara Bugyal

An amazing experience that you will cherish forever

A’ BUGYAL’, IN local parlance, is a high-altitude meadow.  The Himalayan regions are blessed with some beautiful alpine grasslands. Trekking up to these bugyals, and camping among the flowers, under the stars, is an experience a lifetime. The Bedni Bugyal is one of the finest meadows here, and also perhaps the most romantic of them all.  Think acres and acres of meadows scooped out of a lush mountainside, a steep ridge arching up into the sky. Bed also a major way-station on the Nanda Raj Jat Yatra, a ritual procession held every 12 years.  The next one is to be held in 2013
