The Dayara Bugyal – Dodital – Darwa Pass – Hanuman Chatti Trek is one of the most scenic and diverse Himalayan traverses in Uttarakhand. This trek connects the lush Bhagirathi Valley with the sacred Yamuna Valley through a breathtaking journey across alpine meadows, forests, lakes, and mountain passes.
The trek begins from Raithal village and leads to Dayara Bugyal, one of India’s most beautiful high-altitude meadows. From here, the trail descends into dense oak and rhododendron forests toward Dodital, a sacred alpine lake believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ganesha.
The route then climbs to Darwa Pass (~4,150 m), offering panoramic views of Bandarpunch, Swargarohini, and Kala Nag peaks. The journey concludes with a descent into the Yamuna Valley at Hanuman Chatti.
This trek combines natural beauty, mythology, and remote Himalayan exploration, making it ideal for trekkers seeking both adventure and cultural richness.
