Trek Overview
If anyone starts trekking in the Himalayas then Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is arguably the best for them. This trek starts from Wan, a quaint village perched on the green slopes of mountains. The trail passes by the small huts, cattle sheds and step farming fields. Children greet you with their innocent smile and the shepherd boy leisurely walks past with his flock of sheep. The path takes you to the top of the hill, this place is called ‘Ran-Ka -Dhar’.
Mt Trisul and Bedni Bugyal
As the other side of the mountains open up before your eyes you can witness the first glimpse of Mt Trisul. The trail goes down the hill up to Neel-Ganga river which is coming down from Bedni Bugyal. Treacherous uphill trek through dense forest starts after crossing the Neel-Ganga. Walking through Chir Pine and Rhododendron forest listening to the sound of chirping of birds, rustling of leaves and gurgling of narrow streams, brings one closer to nature.
Seemingly endless stretch of green meadows of Ali Bedni Bugyal surrounded by many Himalayan peaks in the horizon is a huge grazing ground for mules, horses and sheep. Reflection of Nandaghunti and Trishul in Bedni Kund add to the beauty of this place.
