About this activity

Nestled in the heart of Uttarakhand’s Garhwal region, the Deoria Tal Trek is a short yet breathtaking Himalayan adventure that blends serenity, mythology, and majestic mountain views. At an altitude of 7,900 ft, Deoria Tal is a crystal-clear lake that perfectly mirrors the snow-capped Chaukhamba peak, creating a picture-perfect reflection that feels almost divine.

Starting from the quaint Sari Village, this trek offers a blend of easy trails, dense forests of rhododendron and oak, and magnificent Himalayan panoramas. It’s ideal for beginners, photographers, and weekend travellers looking to experience the charm of the mountains without the challenges of high-altitude expeditions.

The journey then extends to Chopta and Chandrashila, where trekkers can visit Tungnath Temple, the highest Shiva temple in the world, and witness 360° views of Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Kedarnath peaks.

Whether you seek a peaceful lakefront campsite, a sacred Himalayan experience, or just a short escape into nature, Deoria Tal Trek is a perfect blend of spirituality, adventure, and tranquillity.
