Sari Village - Deoria Tal - Ukhimath

Deoria Tal is a lake located on an uphill trek from the villages Sari, on the Ukhimath-Chopta road in Uttarakhand. At an altitude of about 2387 meters, it has heavily wooded, lush green surroundings with snow covered mountains (Chaukhamba is one of them) in the backdrop. There are options of overnight camping, jungle trek etc.

Deoria Tal has mythological connection with the epic Mahabharata. Devariya Tal is the place where Yaksha asked the Pandavas to answer his questions before drinking the water of the lake. Due to its mythical background, this region possesses some magical beauty until now. Don't miss to capture Reflection of Chaukhamba and Kedar peaks on the lake.

The view provides some amazing view of Bandarpoonch peak starting from extreme left, Khatling peaks, Mt. Thalaysagars backside (which is next to Joggin peaks near Kedartal), Kedar peaks, Mt. Janhukut, Chaukhamba 4-3-2 and Mt. Neelkanth to name few.

Elevation: 2,438 m (7,999 ft)
