You will soon reach the lakes of Deoriatal sparkling down a gentle slope. Enjoy a magnificent view of Chaukhamba mountains as the background of Lake.

Enjoy walking through Maples and rhododendrons that cover the forest trail, bringing a cool and refreshing feel. Enjoy the path that is dotted with shrines of small size that are distinguished thanks to the yellow and red flags pinned to the shrines. After a while, you will move upwards on an uphill path to Rohgini Bugyal and Chopta.  

You will also pass through the Kedarnath Sanctuary, and you may find red foxes as well as other smaller wild creatures. Walk further and enjoy the views of lakes, peaks and meadows to reach the campsite in Baniyakund.
