Why This Trek?

Explored by “Himalayan Hikers” in the late 90’s

Phulara Ridge lies in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary. As you would be knowing there are many pristine places in this sanctuary of Uttarkashi district, Phulara is one of them but unlike others it has not seen many footsteps which makes it unique amongst other places. “Himalayan Hikers” took their first group of “Woodstock school” to this divine place since then not many people have known about this hidden gem.

It is at full bloom in the summers; the wildflowers, foliage and the sun shining in the blue sky all together makes it picture perfect but in winters the snow covering the landscapes and the all-white beauty can leave anybody praising the beauty. So you can plan to go here throughout the year.
