Overview
Description “Tal” meaning “lake” is an integral part of the Mountains. Many such hidden Lake jewels can be found tucked into the lap of these Majestic Garhwal mountains. One such destination is the Bisurital lake. This lake can be accessed via Chopta which is a drivable road and a basecamp for some popular treks in this region like the Tungnath and Chandrashila. The lake is approximately 30 kms from Chopta and falls under the category of moderate to difficult treks as it passes through some challenging terrain amongst the alpine forests and Himalayan wildlife. The forests are dense and green and the weather in Bisurital remains pleasant most of the year except the Winters from December to February where it snows in Chopta making it a bit difficult to access. The altitude is 4100 mts at the highest point near the lake called Bisuri Dhar. The last drivable road to start this fascinating trek is Chopta. Chopta, a small hill station located in Rudraprayag in Garhwal Himalayas offers some spectacular views and camping locations. The starry skies drenched in Sunset golden hues is a site to behold. Chopta lies within some evergreen forest area that falls under the boundaries of Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary and is a treat for Wildlife Photographers and nature enthusiasts.
