Description

उत्तराखंड के बाकी सभी ट्रेक्स में से दयारा बुग्याल बेहद असाधारण और सबसे मनमोहक ट्रेक है क्योंकि यहां ऊंचे पहाड़ों पर पाया जाने वाला सबसे खूबसूरत घास का मैदान है। यह ट्रेक 3048 मीटर की ऊंचाई पर स्थित है और यहां बंदरपूंछ और गंगोत्री श्रृंखला का बेहद खूबसूरत दृश्य दिखता है। वैसे लोग तो नेचर के करीब रहकर हिमालय की ऊंचाई को करीब से देखना चाहते हैं उनके लिए यह ट्रेक सबसे बेस्ट है।

Day 2- Natin to Gui
Start early morning with energized spirit to embark on the actual trek. The trail on this is a walk through the jungle. It is filled with silver, gold oak trees. The route to campsite is well marked and the campsite at Gui always remains in line of sight. The trail is ascending gradually hence it will take around 4-5 hours to reach to the next resting point.

The camping site is unique in a way that is surrounded by alpine trees unlike mountains. You will spot quaint village huts near the campsite. The view from Gui is almost same as from Raithal, with clear views of Gangotri range and Shrikanth peak. Under the beautiful night sky you can relax and re-energize yourself.
