Phulara Ridge Trek

The Phulara Ridge Trek in the Garhwal Himalayas is a serene and transformative journey that goes beyond distance and destination. Starting from the quiet village of Sankri, the trail winds along a narrow ridge through dense oak and rhododendron forests, offering solitude rarely found on popular routes. As you climb, snow-capped peaks slowly reveal themselves, and the rhythm of nature sets the pace. The trek’s untouched charm lies in its details—wildflowers, changing skies, and moments of deep stillness. Scenic stops like Bhoj Gadi present glowing views of Kedarkantha, while Pushtara Meadows reward you with sweeping panoramas of mountains and valleys. More than a physical challenge, Phulara Ridge is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with nature, leaving trekkers refreshed, grounded, and quietly changed by the Himalayan calm.
