Explore Surya Top | A Hidden Himalayan Jewel Beyond Dayara Meadows

Surya Top is one of the most rewarding offbeat treks in Uttarakhand, ideal for trekkers looking to explore beyond the typical Himalayan routes. Starting from the peaceful hamlet of Raithal, the trail winds through oak and rhododendron forests and gradually unfolds into the magnificent meadows of Dayara Bugyal. These meadows, rich in color and texture, stretch across the hills and provide a two-day journey full of scenic wonder. What makes this trek stand out is its continuation beyond Dayara to the summit of Surya Top. Along the way, you enjoy a ridge walk with panoramic valley views on both sides, and at the summit, you are greeted with a sweeping vista of snow-capped Himalayan giants. The combination of varied landscapes, peaceful campsites, and unmatched views makes this a perfect trek for those who crave raw natural beauty and inner stillness.
