Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek in Uttarakhand

The popular Rookund trek includes the Ali Bedni Bugyal. Since the Roopkund trek is currently closed, we decided to introduce the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek, which is a complete trek with spectacular views of the higher Himalayan ranges. Ali and Bedni, the twin bugyals, are among the best in the world and are well-known in the trekking community. The hike is moderately fast and suitable for beginners. This trek is also suitable for experienced trekkers who want to enjoy the unrivaled views that this trek provides. Continue reading for more information on the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek.

Details Itinerary

Day 1 :From Rishikesh towards Lohajung

Arrive in Rishikesh early in the morning and join our vehicles for the drive to Lohajung, the Roopkund trek's starting point. Rishikesh pick-up time is 7 a.m. The road winds its way through the scenic Kumaon valley. We travel through the towns of Almora and Kausani. You'll get some stunning views of peaks like Kamet and Panchachuli along the way. By the evening, we'll arrive in Lohajung and check into a guesthouse for the night. At 2300 metres, the town of Lohajung (also the starting point for many other well-known treks) also has a small mountain pass that connects the Gwaldam and Wan sides of the mountain.

Day 2 : From Lohajung towards Tolpani

We start our trek after a warm-up and briefing. Following the Neel Ganga river, we trek through the jungle. The first part of the hike is downhill before we reach the water. The trail snakes upwards after we cross the river on the metal bridge. We arrive in Didina after a 2 hour long hike. Tolpani is a gradual 1 km climb from Didina. Many points along the trail have views of Ali Bugyal, the ridge's top. As the trek progresses, we settle in and begin navigating the climb towards Tolpani, our first campsite of the day. We arrive in Tolpani late in the afternoon and set up camp.

Day 3 : From Tolpani towards Abin Kharak/Khobal Tal

We'll get off early today to take advantage of the best views. There is a short ascent to the Ali Bugyal Ridge. The trek is relatively straightforward until we cross the ridge, with long stretches of flat walking or incremental climb. We'll walk across the Ali Bugyal, with mountains on all sides and far behind. On the hike, you'll see that these meadows are among the best in the world. Nanga Ghunti and Trishuli are prominently visible in the east as you pass across the Ali Bugyal. We're taking it easy today, stopping sometimes. You'll have plenty of opportunities to take photos today, so take advantage of them.

Day 4 : From Abin Kharak/Khobal Tal towards Ghairoli Patal

Today will be a laid-back day. There isn't much of a rise. We make our way to the Bedni Bugyal. For two bugyals, there is no definite line of demarcation. The Bedni Bugyal, on the other hand, has a small pond known as Bedni Kund. This is where we'll take a break for lunch. We hike to the top of Bedni after lunch to get one of the better views of our surroundings. The Roopkund Lake can be reached by ascending the trail from this location.

Day 5 : Trek from Ghairoli Patal towards Wan to Lohajung

Trek from Ghairoli Patal towards Wan and then Onwards Your Cab will Take you to the hotel for your stay in Lohajung.

Day 6 : From Lohajung towards Rishikesh

Load the vehicle for the return journey to Rishikesh in the morning. Arrive in Rishikesh in the late evening. It is recommended that you book your return flight from Rishikesh to ensure that you have enough time in case of road delays.
