Ali Bedni Bugyal - Walk through the Himalayas’ grandest meadows
The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is one of the most stunning meadow treks in the Indian Himalayas, located on the border of Garhwal and Kumaon in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. These vast alpine grasslands are among the highest bugyals in Uttarakhand, offering an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and panoramic Himalayan views.
At an altitude of 3,354 m to 3,658 m, Ali Bedni Bugyal is famed for its magnificent view of Mt. Trishul (7,120 m) and the surrounding Himalayan ranges. In spring, the meadows burst into life with wild high-altitude flowers and herbs, while autumn paints the valleys golden with crisp skies and crystal-clear mountain views.
The trek passes through scenic meadows, dense forests, deep valleys, and charming Himalayan villages, treating trekkers to mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets over the snow-clad peaks. One of the highlights is Vaitarni Lake (Bedni Kund), a sacred site known for the rare Brahma Kamal flower and as a key halting point of the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, a ritual procession held once every 12 years.
Often called one of the most romantic and enchanting spots in the Himalayas, Ali Bedni Bugyal is perfect for trekkers looking to immerse themselves in raw Himalayan beauty, solitude, and high-altitude meadows that stretch endlessly under the open sky.
Best Time to Visit Ali Bedni Bugyal
- April – June: Pleasant weather, lush meadows, and blooming alpine flowers. Expect some snow in early April.
- September – November: Crisp skies, golden landscapes, and the best mountain visibility.
After mid-December, the region experiences extreme cold and heavy snowfall, making trekking not advisable without professional support.

The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is one of the most stunning meadow treks in the Indian Himalayas, located on the border of Garhwal and Kumaon in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. These vast alpine grasslands are among the highest bugyals in Uttarakhand, offering an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and panoramic Himalayan views.
At an altitude of 3,354 m to 3,658 m, Ali Bedni Bugyal is famed for its magnificent view of Mt. Trishul (7,120 m) and the surrounding Himalayan ranges. In spring, the meadows burst into life with wild high-altitude flowers and herbs, while autumn paints the valleys golden with crisp skies and crystal-clear mountain views.
The trek passes through scenic meadows, dense forests, deep valleys, and charming Himalayan villages, treating trekkers to mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets over the snow-clad peaks. One of the highlights is Vaitarni Lake (Bedni Kund), a sacred site known for the rare Brahma Kamal flower and as a key halting point of the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, a ritual procession held once every 12 years.
Often called one of the most romantic and enchanting spots in the Himalayas, Ali Bedni Bugyal is perfect for trekkers looking to immerse themselves in raw Himalayan beauty, solitude, and high-altitude meadows that stretch endlessly under the open sky.
Best Time to Visit Ali Bedni Bugyal
- April – June: Pleasant weather, lush meadows, and blooming alpine flowers. Expect some snow in early April.
- September – November: Crisp skies, golden landscapes, and the best mountain visibility.
After mid-December, the region experiences extreme cold and heavy snowfall, making trekking not advisable without professional support.
