Dodital & Darwa Pass Trek

Overview

Darwa Pass trek takes us into the interior forestscapes of Assi Ganga Valley. The idyllic 47 km trek starts from Agoda village to a crystal green Dodital Lake at 10000ft and further up to Darwa Pass at 13500ft.

The Dodital Lake is considered to be the sacred birthplace of Lord Ganesha. It is a freshwater lake that serves as the primary source for the Assi Ganga river that merges downstream with Bhagirathi. Ganpati temple sits on the right side of this pristine lake.

The trail leading to the lake provides astounding sceneries of mountain villages, thick vegetation and lush green surroundings with numerous gushing streams and tan brown rock-faces. As we reach higher up, we find ourselves in the midst of thick forest of pine trees, deodar trees, and golden and silver oaks all the way up till Dodital.

Darwa Pass, offers captivating views of Mt. Bandarpoonch, Mt. Srikanth, Black Peak DraupadikaDanda, Mt. Jaunli, & Deoli. The pass is a gateway to Yamunotri via Hanuman Chatti that has been traversed by pilgrims since ancient times
