Dayara Bugyal trek or Kedarkantha trek? Where should I plan my new years?
3 Responses
Prachi Shah
AnswerWishlistIt depends on how much are you willing to trek, if you start from Barsu Dayara Bugyal is a short trek and can be done in a day. Also you won't be allowed to stay at the Bugyals because of the HC order. Kedarkantha is a longer trek. You will find plenty of snow in both the treks, so its upto you whether you want a short trek or a long trek.
