Why we love Ali Bedni Meadows
Share this story
If there's one extremely emotional trek for all of us at Indiahikes, it's the Ali Bedni Bugyal trek.
Today I'm sharing with you a tribute film to this trek.
It is a special film because in these meadows, nearly 15 years ago, our two founders trekked and had endless tent talks about how trekking in India must grow.
As a result, Indiahikes grew with the vision that Everyone Must Trek. Fifteen years hence, today, thousands of trekkers visit the mountains to trek.
Beyond this emotional connection, we feel no other meadows in our country are as beautifully laid out as Ali and Bedni Bugyal. We've seen Dayara Bugyal, Siyari Bugyal, and Gidara Bugyal; they're all beautiful. Yet, in terms of scenic beauty, none come close to Ali Bedni Bugyal.
The way these meadows are landscaped -- with the elegant Mt Trishul and Mt Nanda Ghunti standing at the edge of the meadows -- is simply flawless.
"Witness a sunrise and a sunset here, and you'll feel like your soul can finally rest in peace!" says Arjun Majumdar, founder of Indiahikes.
I don’t think anyone can visit Ali Bedni Bugyal and not feel a strong emotional connection to the meadows.
If you've been in these meadows before, share your connection as a comment on this post. Other trekkers can learn a lot from your experience.
