Gorson Bugyal

Great experience. It is a trek of around 2-3 kms one way, took us about 2 hours on going up and 30 minutes going down. This is a very beginner friendly trek. Although this was our first trek and it was a bit tiring, but was totally worth giving full effort on the trek. Take water and any type of liquids and solid snacks from tower no 10.
Take a guide for trekking, it cost us rs 1500 for the guide and we were provided a stick as well. Max altitude we reached upto 10,700 ft. Don't burden yourself with unnecessary items as it will slow you down.

This place is located nearly 3000 m amsl. It is generally under snow cover during jan to march and one can enjoy a beautiful majestic view of nandadevi and other Himalyan peaks from the top. One can go there by doing a trek of around 1.5 to 3 km from the artificial lake, Auli. You have to take a guide with you and also have to go through the nandadevi forest. From the peak you will feel extremely satisfying just by seeing the 360 degree view. Make sure you have a good water proof shoes and a stick.

It was an amazing experience to visit this place anyone can visit this place in summer only because in winters auli is fully covered with snow.if anyone visits auli in summer must visit this place. Here you can see Nanda Devi ranges covered with snow.I visited this bugyal in April and even in summer there was some snow. Mind blowing place.

One of the most beautiful places I've ever visited.
You can either take a mule to go top or trek till there. It's around 3-4km on one side. There's a ropeway which goes to the top till terminal station, it's around 2-2.5km from there. There are various snow activities you can do, like skiing, snow tubing etc. It costs around ₹500 for the combo.

It’s just wow. So so beautiful and serene.
Never felt so peaceful, as much while being here. There is a small village that you can see once you reach the top. You also see a few varieties of flowers. And there is a temple on the trek to Gorson Bugyal. It’s an easy trek, with a beautiful view of mountains and the forest.

Beautiful high altitude meadow about 2.5 kms trek from Auli. One passes through oak forest to reach here. You can either trek or horse ride to this place whi charge around Rs. 1000/- to and fro ride. One can bargain. Nanda Devi and other adjoining himalayan peaks are clearly visible if weather is not cloudy. A must visit place.

We were told that most people walk up and down in about 4 hours flat and that it was a pleasant walk through slightly undulating highlands.
Keeping our heart conditions in mind we preferred to take the ponies for some 1200/pony for a total of half an hours stay up there. The path up was very pleasant and through some of the loveliest jungles, we had occasion to be in. On reaching the top there was nothing but there was everything. Complete tranquility, pure air and picture-postcard perfect locales.
The army jawans returning form a trek somewhere behind the next hill added to the mystique of the place.
Stayed there for around 45 of the loveliest minutes of our life.
Don't forget to take everything you could ever want with you, including water bottles, eatables if you want them and anything else you could want because there are no shops or even stalls after you leave the base point of the trek.

Very good place to visit during winters, very close to nature and not very much commercialised yet. You can enjoy few activities like skiing, trekking, frozen lakes, etc.
