Aali Bedni Bugyal trek (5N/6D)
Ali–Bedni Bugyal is one of the best beginner treks in the Indian Himalayas. Starting from the peaceful village of Wan, this trek gently introduces you to Himalayan culture, forests, rivers, and vast alpine meadows. Walking through villages, meeting shepherds, crossing forests of oak and rhododendron, and finally standing in the endless green meadows of Ali and Bedni Bugyal makes this trek unforgettable.
The reflection of Mt. Trishul and Nanda Ghunti in Bedni Kund and the open ridgeline views make this trek a true Himalayan classic.
