Phulara Ridge Trek

Phulara Ridge Trek - Unexplored Trail in Garhwal Himalayas

Govind Pashu Vihar National Park is home to multiple trekking routes. Sankri, situated within the park, acts as a base camp for treks such as Har Ki Dun, Bali Pass, and Kedarkantha. Pushtara Meadows via Phulara Ridge is one of the lesser-known but so far the best ridge trek in the country. The trek is very unique due to the landscape and the nature of its trail. Ridges are uncommon in the Indian Himalayas. But this trail takes you on a walk atop a ridge that lasts for almost 2 hours! Given that this is one of a kind trek in Uttarakhand Himalayas, it is slowly earning its well-deserved fame in the trekking world; it is best to visit it before the crowds arrive.

The Phulara Ridge Trek stretches for about 30 km After walking through this ridge for 4-5 hours, you see lovely meadows on one side and a captivating valley along with mountain views on another side, this counts for a mesmerizing experience. Phulara Ridge Trail is in the middle of two valleys where you find a trail to walk. It feels like you are walking through the edges of a knife.
