Ali Bedni Bugyal is one of those rare treks which gives you so much in exchange for so little. This breezy year-round trek is a cauldron of mesmerizing beauty in the form of its massive expanses, exquisite vantage points giving you an unobstructed view of the horizon on all sides and the many-coloured robes it dons all throughout the year.
If you are new to trekking, this trek is a perfect introduction to the awe-inspiring splendor of the mighty Himalayas. Although beauty is best when experienced first-hand, and this trek embodies the word to its last letter, we have tried to present it to you as best we can in our words below.
Highlight 1: The Drive to Lohajung
Lohajung is located in the Chamoli district of the Garhwal Himalayas and serves as a base village for some of the most popular treks like Roopkund, Brahmatal and of course, Ali Bedni Bugyal. Stationed at the height of 2300 M, this small village has beautiful scenic views and is rich in mountain culture.
The village embodies the small joys of mountain living as you sit on the balcony of your guest house which faces a mountain filled with perfect geometric shapes and shades of green from the fields. You take a sip from your kullhad and the white cloud of smoke from the piping hot tea floats upwards to slowly fuse into the many-shaped clouds in the wide expanse of the sky above – time seems to slow down in this part of the world. While the village itself is a hub of cultural as well as self-indulgence, the drive up to Lohajung from Dehradun is quite a delight as well.
