This March 2025 trek had some tricks up its sleeve, fulfilling the wishes of many among the 25 of us who experienced this snow trek with India Hikes.

It is Deja Vu time. Revisiting Dayara Bhugyal but with a twist as was trekking with first-timers Kanthi and Smrithi and in spring time.
But nature or climate change had the last laugh as it showered us with rains, hailstorms, snowfall and finally some sunshine when we were expecting sunshine with remnants of snow at the summit and maybe a rare glimpse of the rhododendrons. This March 25 trek did have some tricks up its sleeve fulfilling the wishes of many of the 25 of us who experienced this trek with India Hikes of doing a snow trek. Let the pics do the talking before I fill in the details of the experience.
The Lichens were proof of the amazing air quality.
The semi-frozen Gui Lake.
The pahadi looked so similar to Pablo and could well be him but now went with a new name Duggu.
The blooming red rhododendrons were a couple of weeks early.
Charming Green meadows.
Donkeys are such a rarity. This one was on the route to Raithal.
