Why Phulara Ridge Is A Must-Do Trek?

Govind Pashu Vihar National Park is home to multiple trekking routes. Sankri, situated within the park, acts as a base camp for treks such as Har Ki Dun, Bali Pass, and Kedarkantha. Pushtara Meadows via Phulara Ridge is one of the lesser-known but so far the best ridge trek in the country. The trek is very unique due to the landscape and the nature of its trail. Ridges are uncommon in the Indian Himalayas. But this trail takes you on a walk atop a ridge that lasts for almost 2 hours! Given that this is one of a kind trek in the Uttarakhand Himalayas, it is slowly earning its well-deserved fame in the trekking world it is best to visit it before the crowds arrive.

The Phulara Ridge Trek stretches for about 25 km. After walking through this ridge for 4-5 hours, you see lovely meadows on one side and a captivating valley along with mountain views on another side this counts for a mesmerizing experience. Phulara Ridge Trek is in the middle of two valleys where you find a trail to walk. It feels like you are walking through the edges of a knife. Finding huge mountains all around you is certainly spectacular.

Watching entirely snow-covered mountains over an angle of 250 degrees keeps you enchanted throughout the trek, and a stunning view of the other mountain ranges, including Dev Kayara Peak from the top of Phulara Ridge Trek, makes all the efforts worth it.

About The Trek

Phulara Ridge Trek is one of the most beautiful treks in India, known for its scenic landscapes. Ridge treks arent very common in a country like India and only a small number of people strive for ridge summits. Yet, after being explored, this trek is now one of the most sought-after. The Phulara Ridge Trek takes you up to a height of 12,150 m.

Phulara Ridge trek starts from a small village named Sankri in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. Also, Sankri is a basecamp for other treks, including Har ki Dun, Kedarkantha Trek, and Bali Pass Trek. The Phulara Ridge trek implies a splendid journey with a high altitude of 12,150 Ft. This challenging trek in Uttarakhand is rated with an easy to moderate difficulty level that largely depends on the fitness level of the trekker. This trek is suitable for both families as well as individual trekkers.

The best time for this trek is from the middle of March to the middle of June. And next, from the middle of September till December. Phulara Ridge trek is also a great trek for monsoon treks, since at that time there are flowers and greenery, making the trek memorable.

At Phulara Ridge Trek, the temperature ranges between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius during the day and can drop as low as -5 degrees Celsius at night. Hence you need proper gear and clothing to fight the sub-zero temperature.

Make sure to carry extra backup batteries if you are a shutterbug eager to capture the beautiful landscapes of this trek. Also, pack light.

What To Expect During The Trek

To begin with the Phulara Ridge Trek, you reach Sankri, which takes almost 10 hours to reach Dehradun. The last ATM is situated at Purola, so make sure to get all the cash you need for your way. At Sankri, you stay at a guest house and find small shops that sell trekking gear and miscellany. The network availability is almost negligible, only the BSNL network works but that too is erratic. From here, you reach Taluka, the trekking point, and pave your way for the journey you are going to cherish forever.

The Phulara Ridge trek lets you grasp the supreme experience of witnessing the beauty of peaks, forests, grasslands, and the associated natural beauty. It is the perfect combination of many charming surroundings and difficult patches, in addition to thrilling ridges that the visitors need to encounter.

You walk through dense forests before and after climbing the ridge, where you see the different types of tree-like oaks, dwarf rhododendrons, maples, pines, and silver birch. You will also see the vast green carpet of meadows, lovely flowers, greenery, and tiny plants growing everywhere in the landscape. This site makes anyone fall in love with this place. Sunlight streams through the various angles in the dark forest, giving you a pleasant view.

You also get to see many birds on the way. You can hear their chirping in the dark and dense forest. The Himalayan Monal, a colorful bird, is one of the centers of attraction during the Phulara Ridge Trek.

You trek through different altitudes throughout the way- Sankri (1920 Meters), Sikolta (2900 Meters), Bhoj Gadi (3470 Meters), and Phulara Ridge (3700 Meters).

Trekkers get the opportunity to grab ethereal views of prominent peaks like Kedarkantha, Swargarohini, and others. You shall also be entitled to view the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayan range that would hold you spellbound with its mesmerizing beauty.

Major Attractions

The summit views

The panoramic views of Himalayan peaks from the summit, as well as throughout the trail are the main attraction of the Phulara Ridge trek. The summit offers exotic views of Swargarohini, Kala Nag, Devkyara, Bandarpoonch, Rangnala, Hanuman Top, Top of Sarutal, Vijay Top, and Kedarkantha.

Sankri- the Base Camp

The trek begins from Sankri, which acts as a base camp for over 25 different treks. The distance from Dehradun to Sankri is 200 km and takes 7-8 hours. With gorgeous mountains, tall pine woods, rivers like the Yamuna, Tons, and Kedarganga pouring alongside the path, and Himalayan roads following you the entire journey, this is an extraordinary experience. At Sankri, you will not only be able to witness the lushness of Uttarakhand Himalayan Valleys, but you will also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture and gain insight into the life of the Himalayan people. Only foreigners used to visit here in 1970, and the number of visitors exceeded 20 a day. At that time, the Har Ki Dun Trek was the most famous one and it was highly visited by trekkers. The number of Bengali trekkers was also high they did many high-altitude passes and visited Sankri frequently. Since the popularization of various treks in the area, Sankri is one of the most visited base camps in the Himalayas.

The Pushtara Meadows

You arrive in the Pushtara meadows immediately after descending from the mountain. The grandeur of the meadows will astound you. As far as the eye can see, there are folds and folds of carpeted green hills. Wildflowers bloom in their full splendor. A 270-degree panorama of snow-capped mountains rises in front of you.

The Forests

For a very short trek, the forests on Phulara Ridge are incredibly dense. So dense that only streaks of sunshine passing through this dark jungle offer light. There are also places where there is no path due to a lack of use. You are likely to be the only ones on the trail because the woodland hasn\t been walked on as often. As a result, all of the chirps, bird whistles, and tree rustles are amplified in this quiet. There are oaks, pines, dwarf rhododendrons, silver birches, and maples among the trees. Forest walks are beautiful to see, and Phulara offers the most remote of them.

The Birds

The dense nature of Phularas trees fosters the presence of birds and fauna. You might even spot Himalayan Monals here. This Uttarakhand state bird is a rare sighting and one of the most colorful birds ever seen. Even spotting one of them, let alone 11 of them, is a rare occurrence. Barbets, woodpeckers, and Himalayan whistling thrushes can also be seen on the trail.

Keep descending following the trail on your right and you will see a treeline start emerging which becomes denser. The valley floor is also strewn with beautiful yellow flows. 

 

Descending for another 30 minutes, you will enter into a forest. Stay on the trail as the forest is quite dense and wide so you may get lost if you wander away from the trail. Towering pine trees loom over you as you walk under their shadows. Be mindful of your steps as there may be a few trees fallen on the ground. You will need to maneuver around or over the trees to cross them.

 

Further descend for another 30 minutes and you will begin to see signs of civilization. Stay on your trail and you will come across a pathway and water collecting pipe. There’s a huge water tank and stone-roof wooden huts begin to appear on the right. This is the village of Tumrikot. A quaint Himalayan settlement. 30 minutes of walking and you will arrive at the end of your trek. You have arrived at the small village of Taluka. You will also see a clearly defined marking for the Har Ki Doon trek here. You will come to appreciate the simple domesticity of these remote Himalayan villages and their daily life. From Taluka, a vehicle will drive you to Sankri once again. You will stay the night in a hotel or homestay in Sankri.

 

At night you may venture out to the Sankri local market and buy some souvenirs as a token of remembrance of this memorable trip.
