The trek to Dodi Tal commences from a small village called Sangamchatti, which is a few kilometers from the bustling town of Uttarkashi. Along the trail, trekkers traverse through dense forests rich in flora and fauna, crossing sparkling streams and quaint hamlets. The path often gets steep, offering magnificent vistas of the surrounding mountain ranges. Upon reaching Dodi Tal, trekkers are greeted by the tranquil waters of the lake and the lush meadows that surround it. Legends associate this mystic lake with Lord Ganesha, believed to have been born here. It serves as a perfect spot for camping and offers opportunities for fishing, with the Asiatic trout being a common find. The lake remains a hidden gem for nature lovers seeking solitude and a rendezvous with the pristine natural beauty of the Himalayas.
