The Ali Bedni Bugyal is part of the famous Rookund trek. Since Roopkund trek is temporarily closed, we thought about launching the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek, which in itself is a complete trek & offers excellent views of Higher Himalayan ranges. The twin bugyals of Ali & Bedni are amongst the best in the country and are very well know in the trekking community. The trek is fairly easy & suited for beginners.
