India's grandest twin alpine meadows
Of all meadow treks in our country, Ali Bedni is the grandest. Starting off with the mountain views. The sight of Mt. Trishul and Mt. Nanda Ghunti jutting right out of the meadows is a sight to behold. Jutting out doesn’t mean you see the tops of these mountains, you see the entire face — almost 6,000-7,000 feet of it — rising right in front of you!
Towards the end of the trek, you descend down to Wan. The temple of Latu Devta, surrounded by massive Cyprus trees, is an iconic attraction in this region. It falls on the path of the Nanda Devi Raj Jat Yatra.
The walk to both Ali and Bedni Bugyal is exhilarating! The first walk to Ali tempts you to take off your shoes and feel this carpet on your skin. The Bedni Bugyal is another stop in this meadow country overlooking the western valley. If you climb the Bedni Top, other high risers of the imposing Chaukhamba range open up before you.
Even the campsites offer a lot of variety on this trek. Abin Kharak, Didna and Gheroli Patal are all vastly different.
The surprise of finding yourself in Ali Bugyal after trekking through dense forests is unbeatable. The moment you get out of the shades of the forest cover, you see an unending clearing. You even have the river crossings done twice, with a totally different landscape of the Neel Ganga River.
The incredible variety and grand mountain views make these twin meadows of Ali Bedni Bugyal a must-do on the trekker’s bucket list.
