Blog - Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek: A Quick Guide

The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is in a beautiful, calm high meadow area in Uttarakhand, deep in the Garhwal Himalayas. This walk shows you two green meadows, Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal, high up at about 11,500 feet. The path is a mix of dense oak and bright flower forests, big open grass fields, and amazing views of the mountains, making it loved by nature fans, camera folks, and people trying trekking for the first time. It starts at Lohajung village, and goes up slowly through pretty woods and small village areas. Higher up, the trees end and big meadow lands start, where Ali and Bedni meadows are at their best. In summer, these meadows have lots of wildflowers, and in winter, they turn into snowy fields, giving two very different trek experiences. The trek shows you great sights of big Himalayan peaks like Trishul, Nanda Ghunti, and Mrigthuni. Near Bedni Bugyal, there's a small, high lake called Bedni Kund, which has a deep meaning for the people living there, adding a holy feel to the trip. Lasting 6 to 7 days, the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is seen as easy to medium hard, good for starting trekkers who are fit. This place also has a rich history, showing you how remote mountain people live. Whether you come for the plants, quiet spots, or big mountain views, the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek offers a special Himalayan visit that stays with you long after you finish. It's a hidden spot that shows the clear, untouched charm of Uttarakhand.

History of Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek

Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek

The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek has more than just lovely views; it’s also woven with deep culture and history. The twin meadows of Ali Bugyal and Bedni Bugyal are tied to old myths, local ways, and long-held pilgrimages, making them sacred for the locals. “Bugyal” means “high meadow” in the local tongue, and these big green lands were once summer grazing spots for shepherds. People from places like Didna, Wan, and Lohajung would bring their cattle here in the warm months after the snow melted, and the lands filled with flowers. These moves held up the shepherd’s way of living, still found in some areas today. One important story from the Bedni Bugyal area is linked to the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, a hard but sacred walk done every 12 years. This trip honours Goddess Nanda Devi, seen as a form of Parvati by the locals. Pilgrims from Uttarakhand and nearby also carry a four-horned ram in this long 280 km journey that goes through Bedni Bugyal to Roopkund and then to Homkund, marking the goddess’s symbol. Bedni Kund, the small lake in Bedni Bugyal, is also holy. During the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra, rituals happen here, and gifts are given to the goddess. It’s thought that this calm lake shows a reflection of Trishul Peak on clear days, adding to its holy feeling.

In Hindu stories, this place is linked with the stories of the Pandavas from the Mahabharata. Local tales say the Pandavas travelled this way on their last trip to heaven, called the Mahaprasthan. The big Himalayan backdrop, the holy lake, and old stones along the path seem to tell these old tales. Though first known to locals and pilgrims, it started to catch the eye of thrill-seeking walkers and trekkers in the late 20th century. With more people loving trekking in India, Ali Bedni Bugyal grew as a quiet yet stunning option next to the well-known Roopkund Trek, more so after the Roopkund area was limited for preservation. Now, the trek is not just about beauty and adventure but also a look into history, holy meaning, and deep cultural stories of the area. The meadows of Ali and Bedni are more than just views; they are living stories that still awe and hold deep meaning for those walking their old paths.

Nearby Places of the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek

  • Lohajung: Lohajung is the main spot for the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek. About 7,600 feet up, it is a small but lovely town with mountains all around it. There is a tale that Goddess Parvati beat a demon named Lohasur here, so the name "Lohajung" came to be (it means "fight of Lohasur"). You can stay in simple homes here. There are local food places and great views of the Nanda Ghunti peak. From here, you can start many treks like Roopkund and Brahmatal.

  • Wan Village: Wan is a big village in this area and often the start or middle spot in the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek. It has old wooden homes and temples for local gods. The path from Wan to Bedni Bugyal goes through forests of oak and rhododendron, giving walkers a nice view of untouched land.

  • Didna Village: This calm spot is a usual stop on the trek and shows you how people in Garhwal live. Stone houses, farmed terraces, and a warm welcome from locals make Didna a rich stop. Many walkers camp or stay here to get ready for higher spots.

  • Roopkund: Now closed for saving the area, Roopkund was a big stop on the Bedni Bugyal trek. Known for its lake with old bones, it sits at about 16,000 feet and has many tales and studies linked to it. It is part of the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra and is still of great interest to history lovers and trekkers.

  • Brahmatal: Close by, Brahmatal is another trek up high with forests, snow, and big views of the Himalayas, including Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti. It is a fine pick in winter when snow hits the land.

  • Gwaldam: Lying between the Garhwal and Kumaon areas, Gwaldam is a sweet hill spot known for calm views and sights of the Himalayas. It's a good place for those who trek to rest and see calmer spots after their hike.

Best Times to Visit the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek

  • Summer (April to June): Summer is the top time for the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek. Snow melts to show green fields and bright flowers. It is warm, with days between 10°C to 20°C, good for walking. On clear days, you can see far-off peaks like Trishul and Nanda Ghunti. This time is good for those who love nature and taking photos.

  • Rainy time (July to early September): The rains come hard, making paths slick and risky with slides. The land looks lively and bright, but most walkers stay away for safety. Still, if you know your stuff and like quiet, early September can be fine with clean air and bright green land.

  • Fall (Mid-September to November): Many see Fall as the best time for the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek. The rain clears, and the skies open up. The fields turn golden, and the mountain views are sharp and clear. The cool, crisp air makes it the best time to see stars and enjoy treks up high.

  • Winter (December to March): Snow covers the paths, making a white wonderland. Trekking is hard as it gets cold and snowy, but it is quiet and less crowded. This time is good for those ready for a cold hike, and is not the best for new trekkers. Yet, it is great for those who love snow.

How to Reach Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek

  • By Airport: Pantnagar Airport, 220 km from Lohajung, is the closest airport for the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek. From Pantnagar, take a taxi or bus to Kathgodam, then go by road to Lohajung. Or, fly into Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport, about 290 km away, and get a taxi or shared ride to Lohajung.

  • By Railway Station: Kathgodam Railway Station is the nearest train station. It links to Delhi, Lucknow, and more cities. From Kathgodam, Lohajung is about 210 km away. Get there by shared jeeps, taxis, or buses through Almora or Gwaldam. Trains like Ranikhet Express and Bagh Express are often used.

  • By Road: Lohajung, where you start the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek, can be reached by road from big spots in Uttarakhand. Go there from Haldwani, Kathgodam, Almora, or Ranikhet. Shared cabs and buses run from these places. From Delhi, it’s about 500 km. Travel can be long, mixing train and road, and you should start early due to winding mountain roads.
