Last Friday, I had the marvelous experience of celebrating the Butter Festival on the Dayara Bugyal Trek. Held in August at 11,500 feet in the hills of Uttarakhand, this festival is dedicated to Lord Krishna, unlike any other I have ever witnessed. The villagers around Dayara Bugyal replace colored powder and water with butter and buttermilk in their celebrations, creating a fascinating scene, especially in the meadows of Dayara Bugyal. It’s awe-inspiring to witness a festival so historically grounded, performed right at the edge of wilderness untouched by civilization. For any lover of outdoor adventures or anyone seeking deeper meaning in life, I strongly urge you—visit Dayara Bugyal during this festival. It’s an experience you’ll want to feel in your bones, not just hear about
