Dodital Winter Trek

Dodital Winter Trek

Dodital Winter Trek Overview

The Dodital Winter Trek is somewhat unique as there are not many treks that provide the opportunity to hike for several days in snow. Another advantage of choosing Dodital as your winter trek is it has fixed campsites throughout the trail. All the campsites are easily accessible too. Dodital is a freshwater lake located in the Garhwal Uttarakhand. It serves as the primary source for the Assi Ganga river that merges downstream with Bhagirathi. From the trail towards the lake you will get outstanding view of Bandarpoonch and Swargarohini ranges. Dodital is one of the few treks in India that qualify for a true winter trek. Winter is one of the great times for Dodital trek as the entire region receives plenty of snowfall. During the trek you have to wear warm clothes all the time. The trails are all snowy and this may make trekking a bit tricky. However, if you are careful enough or have previous experience in winter trekking, Dodital Winter Trek can offer a serene and memorable experience.
