Phulara Ridge Trek Overview

Phulara Ridge Trek

The Phulara Ridge Trek is one of the rare and extraordinary ridge treks in the Indian Himalayas, nestled within the pristine Govind Wildlife Sanctuary of Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand. Unlike typical valley or summit treks where expansive panoramas are reserved only for the highest peak, Phulara Ridge offers an exhilarating, uninterrupted 4 to 5 hours of continuous ridge walking at over 12,000 ft with 360-degree Himalayan vistas unfolding on both sides.

Starting from the famous trekking hub of Sankri, the trail winds through enchanted pine, oak, and silver birch forests before opening up into the mesmerizing meadows of Bhoj Gadi and the rolling alpine grasslands of Pushtara Bugyal.

Why is Phulara Ridge a Must-Do Trek?

Phulara Ridge Trail
  • The Rare Ridge Walk: Walk on a narrow ridgeline at 12,345 ft where sweeping valleys and towering snow-clad peaks flank you on both sides.
  • 360-Degree Himalayan Vistas: Enjoy close-up views of Swargarohini I, II, III, Bandarpoonch, Kalanag (Black Peak), Hata Peak, and the Dhauladhar ranges.
  • Pristine Alpine Meadows: Experience the untouched high-altitude meadows of Bhoj Gadi and Pushtara Bugyal.
  • Exceptional Birdwatching: The sanctuary is home to over 250 species of birds, including the Himalayan Monal.

The Majestic and Pristine Beauty

From the holy alpine lake of Juda Ka Talab to the vast open ridges of Phulara and the peaceful descent into the traditional wooden village of Taluka, every day on this trail provides a refreshing contrast of landscapes.
