This trek was so mesmerising that we cant help clicking pictures...and end up capturing 500 odd snaps...most of them are invariably orkuttable...lol... I am putting the Chopta, Tungnath and Chandrashila trek in a different post..
Deoriatal (2438m) is a trek of 2kms from Sari village...This lake has captivating surroundings with forest all around... The reflection of the mighty Himalayan peaks in the lake creates a beautiful effect...

...train was little late...so had morning tea on train itself...
...oh...i forgot to tell that we are going in a group of 4...here come two...Manabesh and Arnab(from left)... from Haridwar took an auto to Rishikesh...few on route snaps...
8:30 am...reached Rishikesh and occupied 4 seats of a shared taxi...and left for Rudraprayag...(un?)fotunately one luggage fall down, allowing to capture this pic...
just before reaching Devprayag we had our breakfast...with aloo parantha...
By 1.15 we were at Rudraprayag...where our driver Jagadish Negi was waiting for us with his Sumo...we r already running behind schedule...without wasting anytime we left for Sari...
No doubt..Border Road Organization is doing a great job....

Dear Shibatosh,
The whole presentation is excellent.
The narration, the pics, are quite informative. I am a senior citizen on the threshhold of seventies, intend to visit these places with my wife,friend and also his wife. Last visited Tunganath in the mid seventies on a trek trip to Panchakedar. Suggest u once visit Madhyamaheshwar and Buro MadhyaMaheshwar from there. U will see Chaukhamba beyond your imagination like you can touch it.
I have left invitation for you to join me in correspondence. Thanks

Thanks for your excellent report.
Can you please let me know how far would be the lodge from the lake?
I am planning to go there with my wife and daughter on 17 may
Thanks, Kumar
Dear Shibatosh,
Thanks for your description. Actually I planned to trek deoriatal on Oct'2010 with my family (which includes my 2 years son). Can you tell me that if there any accommodation in sari Village. If so any contact no. Because if we stay at Sari then we can start early in the morning fro deoriatal. Because in late morning peaks are hide in clouds.
Dear Shibatosh,
Could you tell me the route from Rudraprayag to mussoorie. What is the distance/Time taken/direction
