The Garhwal Himalayas conceal Deoria Tal as an alpine lake, which unites spiritual elements with natural beauty and adventure to create an extraordinary experience. Deoria Tal exists at an elevation of 2,438 meters above sea level inside the Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary, which places it 2 km higher than Sari Village. The lake's surface transforms into a natural mirror during clear mornings to show perfect reflections of peaks, including Chaukhamba, along with Neelkantha and Bandarpunch. Deoria Tal’s astonishing beauty makes it one of the best places to visit in Uttarakhand.

The Mahabharata story claims that the Pandavas came to visit this lake while they were in exile. The dense forests and wide meadows surrounding the area make it an ideal spot for birdwatching, together with stargazing and eco-camping activities. Deoria Tal functions as the starting point for trekkers who want to explore Chopta together with Tungnath and Chandrashila.

The easy access to this location draws both novice trekkers and experienced adventurers who want to experience its peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking scenery. Its remote location far from urban noise makes it the most untouched and beautiful highland retreat of Uttarakhand.

Exploring the place was truly amazing, the walked experience was really nice with the breathtaking views of the place, the time run so fast that we didn't know that we spend there 5-days and 4-nights. Truly amazing would recommend others.

Our guide and porter were both extremely professional. The entire trek they walked with us closely and always asked us from time to time if we need a little rest or something, we felt safe during the trek. Thrillophilia every time they organized our trip so well also provided with the expereince-guide and staff... certainly would use their service again

Though it was a short trek but not an easy one. Would recommend that you take good quality shoes and warm clothes as it is extremely chilling there. The arrangements were perfect and the instructors were taking our good care. Thank you guys for the superb experience.

It was my first trekking experience ever and I enjoyed it a lot. Only thing which can be improve is food quality which was average. Best was camping in nowhere and bonfire in the night. I had seen lot of different varieties of birds on this. My special thanks to our trek guide who guided us very patiently through out the trek as most us novice trekkers.

Booked: Snow Trek to Deoria Tal and Chandrashila Peak Uttarakhand 2022

Nice experience of ascending and descending through the tricky terrains of the Garhwal mountains. No extreme challenges faced during the trek. Be careful especially while on the Chandrashila peak trek as the trails might get slippery due to the melting of the snow. For a safe experience, always listen to the trek guides and instructors. Happy trekking folks!
