Nestled amidst the thick pine and oak forests Nachiketa Tal is a treat for the eyes to savour. This untarnished lake is situated at an elevation of 8074 ft or 2453 meters above sea level, in the east of Uttarkashi district. It is located at a distance of 131 km from Gangotri and 29 km from Uttarkashi.
The hikers often trek to this heavenly place which appears to be a scene of a fairytale. The rhododendrons, the dense woods and the aquatic life attract the hikers. The route is full of soul rejuvenating views of the Himalayan peaks which you can savour while hiking.
Nachiketa Tal can be easily accessible as
Garhwal region is inter-linked by motorable
roads from major cities of India. Travellers
can commence their journey from Delhi
either by bus or train and reach Uttarkashi.
Upon reaching Uttarkashi, the travellers can
hire a taxi to reach Chaurangikhal which is
30 km away from Uttarkashi.
3 kms trek from a tiny hamlet called
Chaurangi Khal on Uttarkashi-Lambgaon
motor road will make you reach this lake. A
barely 3 km hike will make you reach the
placid Nachiketa Tal.
There is a small temple dedicated to Nag
Devta which is visited by the villagers during
Nagpanchmi. The villagers take a holy dip in
this lake during Nagpanchmi and enrapture
in spiritual bliss. One can also admire a
panoramic view of Banderpoonch peak on
the west of the lake.
Natural drains are the only source of water
for the lake which are managed by the
luxuriant vegetation around the lake. It is
quite possible that the lake is a depression in
a possible fissured zone which may open
into the under water springs feeding the lake
continuously.According to a local legend, this lake was
created by Uddalak and was named after his
son Nachiketa. The 10-year-old Nachiketa
founded the gateway to hell and, the truth
behind life and death
