Phulara Ridge Trek
Phulara Ridge Trek
Nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas, the Phulara Ridge Trek is a hidden gem offering breathtaking mountain views, alpine meadows, dense forests, and scenic campsites. Suitable for both beginners and experienced trekkers, the trail promises a peaceful yet adventurous experience.
Derived from the Sanskrit word “phula” meaning flower, Phulara was once rich with vibrant blooms that colored the ridge beautifully. Today, the trek delights adventurers with lush meadows, gushing waterfalls, rich biodiversity, and unforgettable Himalayan landscapes.
Accessible from the Supin or Tons Valley, the final climb is challenging but rewarding. Best visited in summer, the trek is adorned with alpine flowers like Brahma Kamal, offering breathtaking views and a truly peaceful Himalayan experience.
