Bedni Bugyal Trek – Asia’s Largest Grassland

Overview

Bedni Bugyal is situated at an altitude of 3354 m, and standing here, one can witness the spectacular sight of the snow clad Trisul and Nanda Ghunti. The lush green idyllic meadow overlooks the western valley and is adorned with colorful wild flowers of different types. There is a lake called Vaitarani near by and also a small temple. Ali-Bugyal is another verdant undulating meadow above the tree line, which is equally enchanting. However, Ali Bugyal is comparatively untouched and unspoiled due to the lack of water sources.
