Even novices love this journey because of the beautifully manicured meadows and the magnificent Gangotri mountain range in the background.
At an elevation of more than 10,000 feet, Dayara Bugyal offers stunning vistas of the Greater Himalayas, including the seemingly accessible peaks of Bandarpunch, Kala Nag, Srikanth, Jaonli, and Draupadi Ka Danda. Trekkers frequently gaze at the sunset over these mountains for hours on end.
