The Only Meadow Trek with Stunning Mountain Views
Out of the other meadow treks in our country — Dayara Bugyal, Gidara Bugyal, and Bhrigu Lake trek — Ali
Bedni has the grandest of mountain views. That’s because of one thing — the sight of Mt. Trishul and Mt.
Nanda Ghunti jutting right out of the meadows.
Jutting out doesn’t mean you see the tops of these mountains, you see the entire face — almost 6000-7000
feet of it — rising right in front of you. The spring season is about to end on the Ali-Bedni Bugyal trek. Soon,
green meadows will start peeping out from under the snow. By summer, you see meadows carpeted with
fresh grass.
The surprise of finding yourself in Ali Bugyal after trekking through dense forests is unbeatable. The moment
you get out of the shades of the forest cover, you see acres and acres of green carpet sprawled out in front of
you. Mt Trishul, stands tall against the blue skies, making for a formidable backdrop. Horses and their foals
tear themselves across the turf in an uninhibited abandon while the cattle graze lazily on this bounty.
The walk to Bedni Bugyal from here is exhilarating! It is a walk that tempts you to take off your shoes and feel this carpet for yourselves. The Bedni Bugyal is another stop in this meadow country – a strip of vibrant green, overlooking the western valley. Popping right out of this meadow-like sentient, silent guards are the mountains of Trishul and Nanda Ghunti. If you climb the Bedni Top, other high risers of the imposing Chaukhamba range open up before you. These incredible settings make these twin meadows a must-do on the trekker’s bucket list.
