Summer rain at Dodital Lake beyond Uttarakashi, as a tourist family enjoys droplets of rain on lake

Summer rain falls over Dodital Lake, a high‑altitude tarn in the Uttarakhand Himalaya, as a tourist family watches droplets glisten on the water. The lake, known as the Emerald Lake of the western Himalaya, lies about 10,500 feet above sea level and is accessible via a moderate trek from Agoda village beyond Uttarkashi. From the air, the valley and lake present a stunning view, with grey clouds hovering over Darwa Tap and the surrounding district.
