This has got to be one of the most romantic spots in the Himalayas – acres and acres of meadow scooped out of lush mountainscape, a steep ridge arching up into the dusk, and above it, the enormous western flank of Trishul.
One of the larger bugyals (meadow) in Uttaranchal, Bedni is also a major way-station on the Nanda Raj Jatra, a ritual procession held every 12 years.
Approach to the area is from Rudraprayag to Karanprayag, staying the night at Karanprayag, then next day heading from Karanprayag to Lohajang – 80 Km .
