Our adventurous journey will start from the base camp at Raithal, where you’ll meet your team and the Trekmunk professional guide and leader, who will guide the batch towards the Dayara top. From here, you’ll move forward through the alpine forests, towards the campsite at Gui, an ancient and an undiscovered village.

After a little break at basecamp, we will start our climb upwards, leaving behind Raithal and eventually reaching the pasturelands of the area. The trek of Dayara Bugyal immediately starts through the blend of trees and shrubs, of the maple, oak, and pine forests along with wildflowers. From dry leaves crushing beneath your feet to wet plants passing by touching your skin, you can expect anything from this particular trek route of Himalayas.

Once we will reach the water point, where you can freshen up a bit, we will continue our trail along the woods of variant oaks. The fragrance of wildflowers now will become more prominent, as we’ll reach the ending line of the forest.
After mapping a few more steps, we’ll reach the campsite. While resting at the camp, you can get a closer view of the before-mentioned ranges. Here, you can explore the various forests and the culture of villagers who live nearby.

An easy trek through the woods, trek route from Gui campsite to Barnala is a relaxing stroll towards our destination. Within twenty minutes you’ll be able to see the rain shelter amidst the dense wilderness. From there, within thirty to sixty minutes of climbing, we will reach Barnala. At the campsite of Barnala, one can get a closer view of the gurgling streams, which enhances (now) visible Dayara and various other peaks.

After lunch, we can head towards the Barnala pasturelands, which is around ten to fifteen minutes climb from the campsite. The meadows of Barnala are as pleasing as the bugyals of Dayara. The vibrant flowers, grazing cattle, and various temples make you want to stop and keep staring at the view for hours.

On the way, you might also get a glimpse of various igloo-like structures and houses. Further, through the meadows, we will climb on a steep surface, which will be the only tough path in our journey, to visit Nag Devta temple. During our journey to this temple, the trekking pole will be handy trek equipment. Once you’ll reach the temple, you can explore it. While our way back to the campsite, you’ll be able to see the entire belt of Gangotri ranges covered with the hue of the evening sky.

During the dusk, you’ll be able to capture the calming sights of Barnala campsite around you. Starting early in the morning, we will lead uphill through the grazing lands of Barnala, entering the forest area again. You’ll enjoy the shed of trees above you till the next one hour, after which we will enter the meadows again. While climbing through these open areas, you’ll be able to see various Chania huts, while on your right will be grand Mt. Bandarpunch and Mt. Kala Nag. The oak and pine trees will cheer you up as you’ll climb.

If you’ll opt to do this trek during summers or spring, then you’ll be able to walk through the meadows filled with bright shades of a variety of flowers, especially rhododendrons. During the winter season, you’ll be walking on the blanket of snow. Again, don’t forget your trekking pole, high-ankle shoes, and warmer if you are planning to do this trek in winters.

After this strenuous climb, you’ll finally be exploring the exquisite pastures of Dayara, reaching the peak of Dayara. After exploring the meadows of Dayara for some time, you can head towards one of those Chania huts that you had seen before. After getting a bit refreshed, from that Chania hut you can easily descend towards Chilapada.

You’ll need to wake up quite early the next day to reach Raithal timely. The trail from Chilapada to Raithal will be quite similar to the one that we covered on day two. From Dayara descend towards the rain shelter, from where you’ll reach the Gui campsite, after an hour. While continuing your trail from there, you can take the last glimpses of Mt. Bandarpunch, as you’ll leave it behind you. After another hour’s trek downwards, you’ll reach the earlier seen water point, where you can freshen up as we did before. Finally, from the water point, you’ll commence towards your final trek back to Raithal. Various guesthouses like GMNV will be easily available, at around 0.5 kilometers of distance from the water point.

After reaching the guest house, you can rest and plan your journey further. Your trekking period will officially come to an end.

From Raithal’s guest house, you can easily ride back to Dehradun, which is a popular tourist place. You can either explore the beauty of the state or can leave for your respective states.
