Gidara Bugyal in Uttarakhand: You must have seen many hill stations, but the sight of Uttarakhand’s Bugyal Bugyal is not found anywhere else. The sheet of greenery, hide and seek of clouds and the confluence of Himalayan litigants make it very special. This place is not just a trekking destination, but makes a lively feel of the most beautiful form of nature in the monsoon.
There is a unique treasure hidden in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, which has been hiding to a large extent from the tourist map – Gidara Bugyal. In the monsoon, this Bugyal covers the sheet of greenery and the clouds make it a set of a fantasy film. Once the view here, hill stations like Mussoorie, Manali also start to fade.
To reach Gidara Bugyal, you must first come to Dehradun or Rishikesh. From here you can choose Uttarkashi and then Gangnani or Bhageli village as base camp. Gangnani is also famous for hot water springs and it starts from here your trekking journey towards Bugyal.
The Gidara Bugyal trek is usually 6 to 7 days. During the trek, you get a glimpse of green bugyal, cloud sheet and Himalayan peaks through high trees. This trek goes up to a height of 13,500 feet, so it is important to take some care of fitness.
For Gidara Bugyal Trek you should be taken with strong trekking shoes, raincoats, sleeping bags, woolen clothes and a small medical kit. Trails can be slippery in the monsoon, so waterproof jackets and gayrs also become necessary. Don’t forget to keep a little snacking goods and energy bar together.
The time from June to October is considered to be the best for Gidara Bugyal trek, but in July -August, it has its beauty on its peak. After the rain, the greenery blooms with its full force and the layers of clouds make it like heaven.
The Gidara Bugyal trek is completely offbeat and trails are not very clear here. Therefore, it is not only necessary to take the help of local guide but also for safety. The guide gives you information about shortcut paths, water sources and camping spots, which can miss solo trekkers.
In Gidara Bugyal, there are views worth clicking every step. Especially when the clouds come down in the monsoon, Bugyal is laid like green carpets and looks incense from the peaks of the Himalayas – all these give wallpaper level moments. Whether it is DSLR or smartphone – Keep the camera ready.
