Phulara Ridge Trek Explored in the late 90’s
Phulara Ridge Trek lies in the Govind Wildlife Sanctuary. As you would know there are many pristine treks in this sanctuary of Uttarkashi district, Phulara is one of them!
it is the rare ridge trek in Uttarakhand but unlike others, it has not seen many footsteps that differentiates it from other places.
“Himalayan Hikers” took their first group 2003 – of “Woodstock school” to this idyllic place since then not many people have known about this hidden gem in the Himalayas.
“The Phulara Ridge literally means ‘’the ridge of beautiful flowers’ ’.
It is located in Govind wildlife sanctuary, Uttarakhand (India).it is a lower Himalayas -high altitude trek about “12,127 Feet”.
Actually Phulara Ridge is a type of large spread forest (bugyals). Throughout the year this region is covered with greenery and beautiful flowers like Brahmakamal and Fankamal (many others species ).
The high mountain chain and the wonderful evergreen valleys lie here and that is the main reason behind the growth of a maximum number of natural vegetation in this high altitude region.
In winter Phulara Ridge is mostly covered with snow and little fog and that makes it much more interesting for visiting the next view after every step that takes you along with it to the forward.
The way of this forest begins from mid of the dense forest and ends to the bugyal which is surrounded by the beautiful mountain peaks and that’s why it is said that ‘if the way is most difficult so, the destination is also more beautiful’ this line always suit to “Phulara Ridge Trek ”
Phulara Ridge Trek – Winter and Summer Delight
Therefore, a great thing about Phulara Ridge trek is, it has got different charm in different seasons.
It can be seen at full bloom in summers; the wildflowers, foliage and the sun shining in the blue sky all together make the scenery picture perfect.
But, in winters the snow covering the landscapes and the all-white beauty can leave anybody praising it.
So, it is one of those treks which can be done throughout the year.
“From the year 2003 company “Himalayan Hikers” is organizing this trek and mostly we had organized treks with Wood Stock School Mussoorie, Welham Boys School Dehradun ” and our customized groups, whenever comes we mainly offer this trek to them because this trek is full with plenty of joy and knowledge about the adaptation of Phulara Ridge.
History of Base camp Sankri in Phulara Ridge Trek
In 1970 only foreigners used to visit here and the number exceeded 20 people per day.
At that Har ki Dun trek was the most famous one and it was highly visited by the people.
The number of Bengali trekkers was also high, they did many high altitude passes and visited Sankri frequently.
The Moon from Sankri base camp seems so close that touching it feels possible.
And, the sunrise from Sankri is extremely beautiful because the golden rays of the sun eagerly welcome and wake you up.
The sunset is beautiful too but a short while of darkness will surely make you smile afterward when the moon shines.
The lives in the mountains are different, here are risks and happiness too!
The trekkers told me if the office, airport everything was here, they would never leave the mountains.
My only answer was – if every facility was here then the mesmerizing beauty of the mountains would have lost somewhere!
The untouched beauty is the thing that provides peace and a spark to know about the mountains.
We are really lucky and happy to be “Pahadis”.

Sunita Ravi –
We did phulara ridge with Himalayan hikers in April 2019. This is our 4th trek with them and we have always been supported by their excellent team, the Rawat brothers. For a 4days trek the views of the mountains were mesmerising., the meadows were filled with rhododendrons, buttercups and irises.,
The camp sites were so pretty and the food served by them is always great. The ridge walk itself was like walking in the skies with the lofty mountains seeming like arms distance. The highlight was lunch and a nap in the lap of these magnificent views. Himalayan hikers are almost like family and their guides are amazing( special mention Mr Gangaram).
I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to trek in the HIMALAYAS and looking forward for many more incredible journeys with them.
