Overview


The word “Bugyal” translates to a vast expanse of Greenland situated at a high altitude in the mountains. The trail of Ali Bedni Bugyal trek in Uttarakhand is one of the most beautiful alpine meadows and is the gateway to many mystifying valleys, tiny hamlets, coniferous forests, and stunning landscapes surrounded by the great Himalayan ranges.  The experience you relish when you embark on the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is extremely rewarding, not just because of the picturesque view you get at the summit but also because you get to traverse and witness the serene beauty of nature firsthand. Although most treks give you a closer look at the wonderful beauty of the blue skies contrasting with the meadows, what makes Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek stand out is its geographical significance. The Ali Bedni Bugyal along with being two of the largest high-altitude alpine meadows of Asia is also a halt point for the “Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra'' which is a pilgrimage that is organized every 12 years in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Besides its association with the festival, the trail of the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek falls en route to the mysterious Roopkund trek also known as the Skeleton Lake.  The panoramic view of the Trishul Peaks and the chance to witness the surreal beauty of Bedni Kund which is a freshwater lake nestled in the heart of this meadow adds a different charm to the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek and sets it apart from others. Another fascinating thing about this trek is that because the direction the slope faces is opposite to the rising sun if you are trekking early in the morning, you get to see the sunlight falling through the canopies of trees making beautiful patterns on the ground which may not sound like much when you are reading about them here but will surely make you pause and want to spend a few moments simply staring at them when you are on your Ali Bedni Bugyal trek. In this itinerary, The trek to Ali Bedni Bugyal starts from Haridwar. We board a vehicle from Rishikesh and drive to Lohajung village which is the base camp of the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek. While driving on roads full of twists and turns, you will be passing through Devprayag, Rudraprayag, and Karnprayag, which are the three prayags of the Panch-Prayag.

 

All along the meandering course of the Alakhnanda river will occasionally come into view as well with the mighty Shivalik ranges of the Garhwal region peeking from behind. Upon reaching the base camp for the Ali Bedni trek which is a Himalayan village called Lohajung as mentioned above, you will spend the night in homestays, enjoying home-cooked meals before starting your trekking journey. After a brief trekking session conducted by the trek leader where all the necessary details about what the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek entails, we make our way to Didina. Although the difficulty level for the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek is easy to moderate, trekking to the first campsite Didina will test your endurance because the trail is steep and requires a bit of effort. We will be trekking downhill through the forest trails with the stream of Neel Ganga river flowing relentlessly. We’d stumble upon the metal bridge that helps trekkers to cross the river without the hassle and once we have done so, the path winds upwards and we reach Didina after a steep ascent that stretches for approx 2 Kilometers. All the efforts would be worth it because when you get to camp out amidst the mountains at Didinia campsite, all your weariness will vanish only to be replaced by a sense of peace and serenity.  As we begin our ascent, following the steady trail passing through oak forests, we reach the Tolpani region. Tolpani is the last point to acquire water on this trekking trail until you reach the next campsite so it’s crucial that you refill your water bottles. 

 

The forest is extremely dense and hence when the rays of sunlight manage to shine through the green canopies, it end up illuminating the path, otherwise covered with fallen leaves and moss, with a golden glow. The entire walk seems like a dream. The tree line disappears once the steep climb is replaced by a steady gentle climb to the ridge top and you can finally see Ali Bugyal coming into view.  We set up camps in the Greenlands of Ali Bugyal and enjoyed the stunning landscape that resembles the Garden of Eden.  The clearing of Ali Bugyal gives you the opportunity to have a closer look at the marvels of nature. With clouds floating aimlessly overhead and the breeze making the grass flutter like butterflies on the ground, the entire trail that you cover is beautiful, to say the least. As we leisurely walk ahead for a few miles and follow the path downhill, a small bend tucked in the mountains unfurls itself and commences the start of the trail of Bedni Bugyal.  The other half of the twin meadows of Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek, the pristine Himalayan meadows of Bedni Bugyal are no less beautiful than what you left behind. Summer, which is the best time to visit the Ali Bedni Bugyal, since the entire trail seems to embody the spring season in its fields with blooming flowers covering every patch of grass that your eyes can see.  The majestic Trishul and Nanda Ghunti peaks of the great Himalayan range in the backdrop beckon you closer with their stunning landscape. The glacial lake of Bedni Kund situated at an elevation of 11,000 ft comes into view as well. A sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus, it is also the site of worship for devotees of Shiva. During the Nanda Devi Raj Jaat Yatra, the palanquin of Maa Nanda is carried from Bedni Kund to Roopkund.  

 

Although the festival occurs once in 12 years, that doesn’t take away the charm of the lake as the surrounding area of Bedni Kund is adorned by many blooming flowers, one of them being “Brahma Kamal”. What adds more intrigue to the Bedni Bugyal on this Ali Bedni Bugyal trek is that it holds extreme mythological significance as well. For it is believed that Lord Brahma who wrote many of the Vedas and scriptures of Hinduism wrote some of them in the meadows of Bedni Bugyal.  As you keep walking, the tree lines will appear and a sharp descent will commence at the end of the meadow. The lush green forests consist of oak and rhododendron trees and as you keep descending, you will soon reach a clearing, signaling that you have reached the next campsite, Gharoli Patal, where you will be spending a night under the starry skies.  The next day, you will start your descent by embarking on a steep ridge that leads you to the Neel Ganga River. While you are traversing, the vast expanse of land stretches like a green tapestry in front of you, making you want to stop in your stride and simply marvel at the beauty of nature. The cool waves of the river will wash away all your exhaustion and leave you feeling refreshed. After a short climb from the river, you will reach the ridge that overlooks Wan Village. The village is the last checkpoint of our Ali Bedni Bugyal trek expedition. After walking down a steep descent, we will reach the roadside area. From here, we would board a vehicle and drive to Lohajung.

 

What makes Ali Bedni Trek a popular trek is that it consists of two of the largest high-altitude meadows in our country. Apart from that, you get to see the best view of the Trishul peak on this trek and that's reason enough for trekkers to go on an Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek.  Although it’d be a dream come true for any trekker to be able to see the vast expanse of the meadows covered in an ivory blanket of snow, the weather conditions make it almost impossible to do the full circuit for the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek but it doesn’t stop adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers from embarking on this trek during the summer season.  The entire meadow looks stunning with rainbow-colored flowers speckled across the grasslands and this is why the best time to go on the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is from the months of March to May. Because during these months, you get to see the entire trail in all its glory, in different shades of earthly brown and moss green.

Why Ali Bedni Bugyal trek?


In this Ali Bedni Trek, you first make your way from Rishikesh to Lohajung and witness the majestic Garhwal mountains in the backdrop while the Alaknanda river flows relentlessly. Upon reaching Lohajung you get a closer look at the Nanda Ghunti peak that captivates you with its glory and magnificence.  A cluster of villages can be found near Lohajung and you will get to experience the slow-paced lives that people lead here. If you forgot to pack any extra layers or just need to buy some handwoven gloves etc then you can visit the local shops that people have set up here. 

A zig-zag trail through the forests will lead you to your next campsite which is Didina. The trek from Lohajung to Didina is of moderate level but the steep climb tests your muscle endurance. You will need to drink water regularly while ascending to avoid exhaustion and muscle cramps. After traversing through the village, you will reach the campsite which is at an elevation of about 200ft from the village.   With the stream of river running by its side, the campsite of Didina in this Ali Bedni Bugyal trek is calming and provides some much-needed comfort as well. The valley spreads out like a carpet beneath your feet as you make your way towards Ali Bugyal, one part of the twin Himalayan meadows which come together to make the largest alpine meadows of our country.  The tree lines give way to the ridge top where Ali Bugyal comes into view. You will set up camp in the green fields of Ali Bugyal and enjoy the picturesque landscape that is a blend of blue skies and lush green meadows. As dusk will start to fall, the green grass will acquire a golden glow, making it seem as if you’re sitting in a pool made entirely of sunlight. The next day after a leisurely walk, you will reach the stunning Bedni Bugyal that overlooks the western side of the valley and provides you with the most beautiful view of your surroundings. 

 

As you keep strolling, you will soon reach the Bedni top which is at an altitude of 12,550 ft and you get to see the best view of Trishul peak and Nanda Ghunti peak from the Bedni top in this Ali Bedni Bugyal trek. You will also catch a beautiful sight of water sparkling in the sunlight, in the middle of all the greenery just a few meters below and that pool of water is none other than the Bedni Kund which is one of the highlights of the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek. Finally, the meadows end after you make a steep descent to give way to the oak and rhododendron forests that lead you to Ghairoli Patal. After spending a night here, you make your way to Wan Village after coming across the cool waters of Neel Ganga and finally get to the roadside, commencing your Ali Bedni Bugyal trekking journey.  In a matter of six days, you got to witness the beauty and serenity of meadows whilst also being able to indulge in an enthralling trek that unfolds into something beautiful with every step that you take. The memories you make on a trek like Ali Bedni Bugyal are something you’ll cherish forever. The feeling of being at such a high altitude, more than 11000 ft above sea level, and reaching there after conquering all hardships is a feat that not many people can embark upon, much less achieve.  It goes without saying that the feeling of reaching the top is what makes any trek rewarding but it’s your dedication and strong will that make you worthy of getting the reward of being on top of the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek. All this while, you will be traversing in a group of people who share the same passion as you, and that sense of solidarity make this Ali Bedni Bugyal trek even more unforgettable.

Everything You Need To Know About JW Trekking


Dry Pits

 

Dry pits are a crucial waste management solution in trekking environments, particularly in remote areas where traditional plumbing is unavailable. These systems consist of deep holes dug into the ground, designed to safely contain human waste. The primary benefit of dry pits is their ability to facilitate the natural decomposition of waste, which minimizes the environmental impact associated with human activity in pristine natural areas. By using dry pit systems, trekkers help protect water sources from contamination. The implementation of dry pits not only improves hygiene for trekkers by providing designated areas for sanitation but also promotes awareness and education about sustainable practices within local communities.

 

 

Bathing

 

While the idea of bathing after a long day of trekking may seem appealing, it is generally discouraged for several important reasons. As trekkers ascend to higher altitudes, they encounter significantly colder temperatures, especially at night. Bathing in cold water can lead to rapid heat loss, particularly in vulnerable areas such as the legs and head, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Additionally, access to bathing facilities is often limited in remote trekking areas, making it impractical and unsafe. Engaging in bathing can also cause the body to expend extra energy to maintain its core temperature, which may hinder the acclimatization process necessary for high-altitude trekking. Instead, most trekking itineraries include a stop at a base camp where trekkers can enjoy warmer conditions and facilities for bathing, allowing for a more comfortable and safer experience.

 

Bonfire

 

Bonfires are typically prohibited during treks for several compelling reasons that prioritize environmental conservation and safety. One of the main concerns is the environmental impact of gathering firewood, which can lead to deforestation and habitat destruction in ecologically sensitive areas. Removing wood from these environments disrupts local ecosystems and can have long-lasting effects on biodiversity. Additionally, open fires pose a significant risk of attracting wildlife, including potentially dangerous animals such as bears. The smell of food and smoke can draw these creatures closer to campsites, increasing the likelihood of dangerous encounters for trekkers. 

 

Vegetarian Food

 

Providing vegetarian meals during treks is a deliberate choice that offers numerous benefits. Vegetarian food is generally easier to store and prepare in remote areas, as ingredients like lentils, beans, and grains have longer shelf lives and require less refrigeration. This practicality is crucial in environments where access to resources is limited. Additionally, vegetarian meals minimize the risk of attracting wildlife to campsites, which can be a significant safety concern. Non-vegetarian food can draw animals closer, creating potential dangers for trekkers. Vegetarian meals can be highly nutritious, offering essential vitamins, minerals, and protein that are vital for sustaining energy during physically demanding treks. Ingredients such as nuts, seeds, and legumes are energy-dense and provide the necessary fuel for trekkers. Lastly, vegetarian cuisine can be diverse and flavorful, incorporating local ingredients and spices that enhance the trekking experience, allowing trekkers to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes while minimizing their environmental impact.

 

Plan B and C

 

Having contingency plans, often referred to as Plan B and C, is a vital aspect of trekking, especially in mountainous regions where conditions can change unexpectedly. The weather in these environments can be unpredictable, with storms, snow, or high winds potentially altering planned routes. By preparing alternative plans, trekkers can adapt to changing conditions and ensure their safety. Experienced trekking organizations emphasize the importance of these backup plans, as they allow for swift responses in the event of emergencies, such as injury or illness. This adaptability is crucial for maintaining the safety and comfort of all participants. With years of trekking experience, guides develop a keen understanding of the mountains and can assess conditions effectively, ensuring that trekkers remain safe and comfortable throughout their journey. Ultimately, being prepared with multiple plans enhances the overall trekking experience, allowing trekkers to enjoy their adventure with the confidence that they can navigate any challenges that may arise.

 

Acclimatization

 

Acclimatization is a critical process that allows trekkers to adjust to the physiological changes that occur when ascending to high altitudes. As trekkers gain elevation, the body must adapt to decreased oxygen levels and lower atmospheric pressure to prevent altitude sickness, which can occur if one ascends too quickly without allowing sufficient time for adjustment. Effective acclimatization involves a gradual ascent, ideally limiting elevation gain to no more than 300-500 meters (about 1,000-1,600 feet) per day above 3,000 meters (approximately 9,800 feet). This slow increase allows the body to adapt to the changing environment. Staying well-hydrated is also essential, as dehydration can exacerbate symptoms of altitude sickness; trekkers should aim to drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily. Incorporating rest days at higher altitudes is another important strategy, as these days allow the body to adjust while engaging in light activities. Trekkers should also be attentive to their bodies, recognizing the signs of altitude sickness, which may include headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. If symptoms arise, descending to a lower altitude is often the most effective course of action. Lastly, consuming a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates can help provide the energy needed for acclimatization, with foods that are easy to digest and high in calories being particularly beneficial during treks. Understanding and implementing these key aspects of acclimatization can significantly enhance the safety and enjoyment of trekking experiences in high-altitude environments.

I went for a valley of flowers trek with Justwravel from July 15-20, 2023. I had an absolutely amazing experience with them. The trek leads were very experienced and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable experience. The team ensured to respond to our queries of the weather and assured us of a safe trek experience. I would recommend Justwravel!

JustWravel Review by Disha Gupta

Disha Gupta

Had an amazing experience while doing the Sar Pass trek solely because our trek leader Vishal was an amazing human being who understood the team we'll adapted to our capabilities. Some of us were slow, but that was never a problem for him, he just continued being his cheerful self and encouraged us to move on. Vishal also displayed proper planning and leadership skill. The trek was breathtaking in itself although slightly challenging so I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. I would grade it as moderate coz of the steepness of it at certain places. Also here's a pic of Vishal so you can ask for him on your trek.

It was my first time with Just Wravel and I did Sar Pass trek with them. I had an amazing experience in terms of stay as well as the trek. Stunning campsite, great food and our trek lead, Vishal, was extremely kind and very well versed with the mountains to guide us to summit despite bad weather conditions. Met a great bunch of people, couldn�t have asked for more, will recommend 100%

I had been on Sar Pass Trek with Just Wravel Team. I had a v good experience. They gave clear and accurate information about the trek. This was my first Himalayan trek. Our on-ground team lead was Vishal Tiwari for the trek. He was v experienced and professional. He helped us with each and everything and was very humble. Got to learn a lot from him and the other trekkers in the group. Thank you Just Wravel Team for making Sar Pass trek happen for me. Hope to book another trek soon.
