Dodital Darwa Top Trek

Dodital - Darwa Top Trek

Dodital - Darwa Top Trek Overview

Dodital-Darwa Top trek takes you to the Assi Ganga Valley. The idyllic trek starts from Agoda village to a crystal green Dodital Lake and further up to Darwa Top. The Dodital Lake or 'Dhundi-tal' is considered the sacred birthplace of Lord Ganesha. It is a freshwater lake that serves as the primary source for the Assi Ganga river that later goes downwards to merge with merges Bhagirathi. A Ganpati temple is located on the right side of this pristine lake nestled in the lap of the Barahat range. Dodital-Darwa Top trek boasts astonishing sceneries of mountain villages, lush green vegetation and several bubbling streams and tan brown rock-faces. As you trek higher, you will go through the forest of pine trees, deodar trees, and golden and silver oaks till you reach Dodital. Darwa Top is farther from Dodital and offers fascinating views of Mt. Bandarpoonch, Mt. Srikanth, DraupadikaDanda, Mt. Jaunli, Deoli and Black Peak. The stretch to Darwa Top is a bit challenging given the elevation gain in a short span of time but the ambiance around is well and truly rewarding.
