WALK SUMMARY

A 2-day, mainly forest trek to this lovely lake in the north-west of  Uttaranchal, near Uttarkashi.

Remote, unspoilt forest landscape leading to meadows, forests and fine views around beautiful Dodi Tal. A justly famous trek.

You can continue over the Darwa Pass (at 4,150m) to Hanuman Chatti, for a very different above-tree line experience in 4 days or on to Bandarpunch Base Camp to join part of the Chota Dam [link] trek.

High walking in remote mountains. Come fully prepared.

Lonely Planet’s Trekking in the Indian Himalaya is the best current selection of treks through the grand sweep of India’s Himalayas, including this walk. Recommended. Find these and other books on Amazon.

Trek here mid-May to late June and (ideally) September and October.
