Source of Assi Ganga stream, an aerial view of Dodital Emerald Lake beyond Uttarkashi

Dodital Lake view from the sky: the Emerald Lake of the western Himalaya is a lovely trek away from Uttarkashi. A moderate and fun trek takes one from Agoda village beyond Uttarkashi to the high‑altitude tarn of Dodital, also known as the Emerald Lake of the Uttarakhand Himalaya. A stunning aerial view of Dodital valley and lake in Uttarakhand captures the landscape from above. On a rainy overcast day, Dodital Lake sits at an altitude of 10,500 feet in the western Himalaya, with grey clouds over Darwa Tap high above the Uttarakashi district.
