Cradled amidst the untouched serenity of Uttarakhand’s Garhwal region, the Dodital Darwa Pass Trek is a magical journey through alpine meadows, tranquil lakes, and high mountain passes. Starting from the charming village of Sangamchatti near Uttarkashi, this trek takes you deep into a mystical world where nature and mythology dance in harmony.

At the heart of the trek lies Dodital Lake—a crystal-clear, high-altitude freshwater lake surrounded by dense oak, pine, and deodar forests. Revered as the birthplace of Lord Ganesha, the lake carries both spiritual depth and scenic wonder. The silence here is only broken by birdsong and the gentle ripple of water, creating an ambiance of absolute peace.

But the real adventure begins beyond Dodital. For those willing to ascend further, the trail climbs toward Darwa Pass (at about 4,150 meters), where the forest gives way to rocky trails and panoramic ridgelines. From the top, trekkers are rewarded with a sweeping 360-degree view of the Bandarpunch, Kala Nag, and even distant glimpses of Swargarohini and Gangotri ranges on clear days.

This trek strikes the perfect balance between spiritual serenity and high-altitude adventure. Whether you’re sitting by the calm waters of Dodital or catching your breath at Darwa Pass while the mountains paint the sky—every step feels like a meditation in motion.
