Bedni and Ali Bugyal
This is the most romantic spot in Himalayas as vast meadows are spread in several hectares, a steep ridge stepping into horizon and lush green landscape flanked by the mighty Trishul Mountain (7120 meters). The three peaks resembling a Trident cant be as clearly visible as it's just 5 km away from here. We can see the intricate details of every snow field and cornice of the mighty peak, one of the highest in Uttarakhand. During Sunset the mountain turns gold and offer a breath-taking view. Bedni Bugyal is also a major route for Nanda Raj Yatra, held every 12 years carried by much fan fare. The twin bugyals are the finest high altitude grasslands in the Garhwal Mountains situated at (3350 meters) and famous for its wild flowers and herbs. These are the largest high altitude meadows in Uttarakhand. The Bugyals also serve as a halt for the famed Roop Kund Trek. The Bedni Kund is also located in this region and is famous for the rare Brahma Kamal flower. Ali Bugyal is a day's walk from Bedni and the path also leads to a trekkable route from Kuari Pass and regions of Auli, an important ski destination of Uttarakhand.
