The Ali Bedni Bugyal trek was a mesmerizing journey through some of the most picturesque landscapes, but it was also a test of endurance and grit. Starting at our base camp in Lohajung, we moved through four campsites: Didna, Abin Kharak, and Gehroli Patal; each offering unique vistas and challenges.

​

The trail took us deep into lush forest sections, where the monsoon rains drenched us, adding both thrill and difficulty to the journey. The forest gradually gave way to expansive meadows, and the trek’s highlight was the summit to Bedni Top. For me, this was the most challenging part; steep, demanding, and relentless. Yet, in that moment, there was no choice but to look forward, one determined step at a time.

​

This trek wasn’t just about the stunning views of the meadows or the majestic peaks that greeted us at every turn. It was also about resilience and self-belief. Pushing through the rain, the exhaustion, and the terrain taught me that the only way out of a challenge is through it.

​

Sharing this journey with a group of like-minded trekkers added a special charm. We laughed over shared struggles, supported each other on tough sections, and celebrated small victories at every campsite. The experience reinforced the value of perseverance, the joy of camaraderie, and the unmatched beauty of nature’s raw elegance.
