The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is an ideal trek for beginners and amateurs looking to gain experience before high-altitude expeditions. Hence, you can embark on this journey if you want to use it as a pre-trek. The ascent is smooth and gradual, although the descent is quite steep during the tail-end of the trek. Apart from this, if you are a photography enthusiast or an experienced nature photographer, you will not want to miss the opportunity to embark on this trek. You get enchanting views of sunrise and sunsets on Mt. Trishul from the Abin Kharak campsite on Ali Bugyal as well as from Bedni Bugyal. The sunlight playing hide and seek through the dense oak and rhododendron forests on the trail, gorgeous meandering meadows ending in hushed hamlets, and the reflection of Mt. Trishul on the crystal-clear waters of the enchanting Bedni Kund also call for some fantastic shots!
The Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek best time is between mid-March to June (pre-monsoon/summer) and early September to end-October (post-monsoon/autumn). However, the autumn season is considered best for trekking cum photography enthusiasts as the clear blue skies and the pleasant weather conditions create the perfect ambiance. The trail gets snow between mid-December to mid-March. Hence, you will get the receding snowline if you are trekking during late February or early March. Remember to wear shoes with microspikes, as it is pretty common to slip on the snow-clad trail and sustain moderate to severe injuries.
The round trail starts and ends at Lohajung, covering approximately 32 kilometers and reaching a maximum elevation of 3460 meters. The entire trek can be done within 6 to 7 days. Since it is pretty easy, the Ali Bedni Bugyal Trek is suited for beginners, amateurs, and those conditioning themselves for high-altitude treks. Even teenagers are taken to this trek as part of their summer camps. Therefore, you don’t need a very high level of physical fitness to embark on this trek. However, you should be adequately fit. A month of cardiovascular endurance and flexibility training consisting of swimming, cycling, stair climbing, brisk walking on undulating terrains, running, stretching of various muscles, etc., should do the trick.
For the gear guide and trek checklist, you should mandatorily carry full-sleeve t-shirts, thermal inners, quick-dry track pants, fleece t-shirts, fleece jacket, a down feather/woolen jacket, wind, and waterproof jacket and pants. Apart from these, always carry a waterproof poncho, suncap, woolen cap, neck gaiters, sunglasses, cotton and woolen socks, sturdy hiking boots with good grips and micro-studs, waterproof gloves and fleece/woolen gloves, and floaters/flip-flops. Carry a backpack (50- 60 liters) and daypack (20-30 liters) with suitable rain covers, a sturdy walking stick, headlamps with extra batteries, water bottle or hydration packs, and personal medical kits along with a first-aid kit. Your list of toiletries should contain sunscreen, moisturizer, lip balm, extra toilet paper, and wet wipes, biodegradable soap, hand sanitizers, quick-dry towels, antibacterial and antifungal powder, toothbrush, and toothpaste. Consider carrying energy bars, dry fruits, etc., for your snacking options as it is next to impossible to find a cook or a tea stall at this height. If you are trekking with a group or your family, it is advisable to get a local cook to accompany you for meal preparation.
If you come face-to-face with any emergencies during the trek, you should keep the following contacts handy.
- Police- 100
- Ambulance/medical- 102/108
- Fire- 101
- Disaster management- 1077/1070
- Disaster management control room- 0177-2812344
