Along the way, trekkers can enjoy panoramic views of snow-capped peaks, including Bandarpunch and Swargarohini, which add to the beauty of the trek.The highlight of the Dodital Trek is reaching the emerald-green Dodital Lake, which is surrounded by lush meadows and towering mountains. The lake is known for its crystal-clear water and is home to the rare Himalayan Golden Trout, a species of fish found only in the Himalayan region.Trekkers usually spend a day or two near Dodital, exploring the surroundings, fishing in the lake, and taking in the peaceful atmosphere. There is also a small temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha near the lake, which is visited by pilgrims during certain times of the year.
