ABOUT THE LOCATION
Tales of the Trip
Spread over an expansive area of 28 square kilometres, Dayara Bugyal is one of the largest alpine meadows in Asia full of greenery and himalayan flowers. It is located in the Ganga Valley, Uttarkashi District in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. The meadows (or Bugyal, as it's called in the local language) of Dayara are famous for the large variety of flowers during post-monsoon season, including rare wildflowers like Brahma Kamal (Uttarakhand's state flower), magnificent upper Himalayan range, star-gazing & much more, making it a paradise for travel enthusiasts.
The region is also home to the Butter Festival, an ancient celebration where locals gather to express gratitude to nature with music, dance, and playful traditions. Here, faith and ecology merge to produce an extraordinary experience.
