| Overview

Most Beautiful and Thrilling National Park Lake

Vasuki Tal is a high-altitude lake (4880 m) in the Garhwal Himalayan region, it is named Vasuki Tal because it resembles Lord Shiva’s snake and people believe that Lord Vishnu took bath in this lake and it became sacred. The water is pure and fed by the Vasuki mountain.
There is no vegetation here and this lake is between two glaciers but a lot of Braham Kamal can be found here which makes it look very beautiful, Brahma Kamals are rare and can only be seen in the Himalayan region.
To reach the Vasuki Tal Gangotri glacier you have to walk through which makes this trek adventurous and full of excitement. This trek is moderately difficult but there are some difficult sections where skill is required.
Chaukhamba peaks can be seen from here and other magnificent Himalayan peaks glitter in the distance. Vasuki Tal is the base of Vasuki and Satopanth mountains

Best time to visit:-

Summer: The weather in Vasuki Tal remains healthy and pleasant in summer. The Himalayas are clearly visible and the cool breeze adds to the charm of the holiday. Carry light woolens with you.

Monsoon: Vasuki Tal becomes difficult during the monsoon because of heavy rainfall on the way and difficult trail, so it’s better to avoid it in winter.

Spring: The spring month from mid-September to early November is considered the best time to trek Vasuki Tal. Trekking is fun in calm weather.

Winter: The region is covered with heavy snow during the winter season and govt. don’t allow people to trek there in winter so this is not a good option for winter.
