Dodital is a serene freshwater lake located in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, India. Situated at an altitude of approximately 3,024 meters (9,921 feet) above sea level, this pristine lake is surrounded by lush green meadows and dense forests, making it a picturesque destination for nature lovers and trekkers.
The name "Dodital" is derived from the Sanskrit words "Dodi" (Dodo) and "Tal" (Lake), which translates to "The Lake of Dodo," named after the Himalayan trout species found in the lake.
The trek to Dodital is considered relatively easy, making it an ideal choice for beginners and families. The trek starts from the village of Sangam Chatti and takes around 3-4 days to complete, depending on the route chosen. The trail offers stunning views of the Himalayan peaks, including Bandarpunch and Swargarohini, as well as a chance to experience the tranquility of the forests and the gushing waters of the Asi Ganga River.
The Dodital trek is also known for its rich biodiversity. The forests surrounding the lake are home to a variety of flora and fauna, and birdwatchers can spot numerous avian species during their journey.
Dodital is not only a trekker's paradise but also holds religious significance for devotees. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ganesha, and a temple dedicated to him stands near the lake's banks.
The best time to visit Dodital is during the months of May to June and September to November when the weather is pleasant, and the lake and surrounding landscapes are at their most beautiful.
