Detailed Solution

Bugyals are termed vast meadows and high mountains. These are Alpine pasture plains found in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, which lies higher up in the Himalayas, between 10800 feet (3300 meters) and 13000 feet (4000 metres). In Uttarakhand, they have a reputation for being "nature's gardens." This is because they are a crucial component of the ecosystem in the Himalayas. These summer meadows of Uttarakhand are referred to as "bugyals" in the regional vernacular. These serve as pasturelands for livestock grazing for nomadic pastoralists.
