1:Dayara Bugyal Trek :

This trek is superbly rewarding at any time of the year. The forests are splendid in spring, the meadows are an unbeatable green in summer, and they turn orange in autumn, with striking mountain views. The snowscape in winter is a world on its own.

The meadows are so meticulously landscaped that there isn’t a single rock or tree out of place.”

think people have got it all wrong about the views. They talk only about the meadows. It is the mountain views from Dayara that are the stunner.

The biodiversity is high. Which is why you’ll hear a lot of bird calls. While we talk about the meadows, don’t miss out on the forest. Dayara Bugyal is one of the Best Himalayan treks for Bird Watching.

2:Brahmatal Trek :

The trek can be started from Ratgaon and also from Lohajung to Bhekal tal passes through dense forest & Bhekal Tal to Brahmatal route passes through open meadows, which offers to behold views of Himalayan range peaks (Trishul, Nandaghunti) & both side valley with villages like Wan, Didina,, Bursol, Dungari etc. This trek is accessible around the year, in winter view of the white layer around the valley & another season lush green meadows & forest makes this trek very unique and special.

3:Bekal Tal Trek :

Bekal Tal is about 1.5 kms kilometers from Lohajung and in a way acts as the mid point of the Brahma Tal trek. Although experienced hikers can complete this trek in a day if they say, but spending a night in Bekal Tal has its own unique charm, so everyone plans a two-day trek for this trek.

The trek to Bekal Tal is of moderate difficulty and the best time to do it is either during the snow in winter or when the snow starts melting in spring. The track is not particularly enjoyable in summers and rains. The Bekal Tal track also has the confluence of the Kali and Pindari rivers. This track route actually comes under Kali Ghati. About 300 meters before coming to Bekal Tal, there is a small lake called Khopdaliya which has a good camping place. Most of the hikers pitch their tents at Khopdalia lake itself.

4:Roopkund Trek :

The Roopkund Trek is the most popular trek of Uttarakhand.

Roopkund is a lake at an altitude of 16,156 feet in Uttarakhand, it is also known as “Mystery Lake”The lake is situated at an altitude of 4,800 meters and is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The lake is also known as the Skeleton Lake because of the human skeletons that can be seen at the bottom of the lake.

One can gaze at thebreath-taking views of the two massive alpine meadows of Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal, which almost feels surreal to look at. You can also see the Neel kanth peak, Kedarnath, Chaukhamba range, Kedar Dome and many other gigantic mountains and meadows on your trail to theRoopkund trek.
