The correct answer is
Uttarakhand
Uttarakhand is correct.
Bugyals are high-altitude alpine meadows of the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalaya in Uttarakhand, found roughly between 3,000 and 4,000 metres, above the tree line and below the snow line.
In summer they are covered with grasses and wild flowers and are used as grazing pastures by pastoral communities. Well-known examples are Bedni Bugyal, Dayara Bugyal and Auli.
Similar meadows in Kashmir are called margs, as in Gulmarg and Sonamarg, so the name bugyal belongs to Uttarakhand.
