Garhwal Hills Tour
The **Dodital Trek (5 Nights / 6 Days)** is a serene and captivating journey through the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, ideal for beginners, nature lovers, and spiritual seekers. Starting from the town of Uttarkashi, this trek winds through dense oak, deodar, and rhododendron forests, offering a peaceful escape into nature. The trek leads to the pristine **Dodital Lake**, situated at an altitude of approximately 3,310 meters, which is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ganesha. Surrounded by lush greenery and snow-capped peaks, the lake is a perfect spot for reflection and relaxation.
The trek begins with a short drive to **Sangamchatti**, from where the trail ascends gradually through traditional Himalayan villages and scenic campsites like **Bhebra**. On the third day, trekkers reach Dodital, where the crystal-clear lake and nearby Ganesh temple offer a deeply spiritual atmosphere. For those seeking an extra adventure, an optional day hike to **Darwa Top** (approx. 4,150 meters) reveals stunning panoramic views of the **Bandarpunch and Swargarohini** ranges. The return journey follows the same route, allowing trekkers to absorb the natural beauty from a fresh perspective.
Throughout the six-day journey, the trek combines spiritual tranquility with the thrill of Himalayan exploration. It’s a well-balanced trek that doesn’t demand high endurance but offers rich rewards in the form of majestic views, cultural insights, and quiet solitude. Whether you're a solo traveler, group, or family, the Dodital Trek is a peaceful adventure that reconnects you with nature and the divine.
