Deoriatal - Chandrashila Trek, Uttarakhand
Deoriatal is a beautiful trek that takes you through colorful rhododendrons, varied forest trails, and patches of snow. The forest trails are the most interesting thing about this trek as they are either at times dense or moss-covered trails of pine, oak, and maple trees.
The trek begins at Sari which is an 8- hour drive away from Haridwar. It goes along the Deoriatal lake and finally brings you to the Chandrashila peak situated at the height of 12,083 feet. The Chandrashila peak offers a spectacular view of the Garhwal and Kumaon region and peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, Gangotri ranges, etc. You can offer your prayers at the Tungnath temple and then sit on the peak and watch the sunrise. To witness the beautiful rhododendrons in full bloom, visit during the spring season.
