India's Rare & Scenic 360° Alpine 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.

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.
Reporting time at Prince Chowk, Dehradun is 6:30 AM. Embark on a scenic drive along the Yamuna and Tons rivers, passing through Mussoorie, Nainbag, Purola, and Mori before reaching the basecamp village of Sankri.
Begin the trek from Sankri village ascending through thick pine, maple, and oak forests to reach the tranquil high-altitude lake of Juda Ka Talab.
Trek out of the dense forest into lush alpine pastures and silver birch (Bhojpatra) groves, revealing breathtaking vistas of the Garhwal peaks surrounding the Bhoj Gadi campsite.
The highlight day of the trek! Ascend to the ridge crest and traverse along the open mountain ridge for several hours at 12,345 ft before descending gently into the vast, rolling meadows of Pushtara.
Descend continuously through dense walnut, chestnut, and oak woodlands. Reach the heritage wooden village of Taluka, followed by a short vehicle drive to Kotgaon / Sankri.
Board the return vehicle in the morning and drive back to Dehradun via Mori, Purola, and Mussoorie foothills.
