🥳 Butter Festival – A High-Altitude Celebration at Dayara Bugyal
Butter Festival (locally known as “Anduri Utsav”) is a unique cultural celebration held every August at Dayara Bugyal—one of the most scenic alpine meadows in Uttarakhand. This traditional Garhwali festival is a tribute to mountain shepherd life and nature, where villagers and trekkers smear butter and curd on each other to celebrate abundance and connection with the land.
Set at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, Dayara Bugyal becomes a lively stage of folk music, dance, traditional attire, local food, and playful butter fights. It’s the perfect blend of culture, nature, and festivity in the Himalayas.
