FAQs of Dayara Bugyal Trek

A: To say which is a better trek would be rather unfair as both treks are equally beautiful. There are few things which one should consider before deciding. It actually depends on what you are looking for as a trekker. If you are looking for a soulful experience and a less crowded trek Dayara Bugyal is the trek for you. If you are looking for adventure and adrenaline rush in a trek Kedarkantha is the trek for you.
