An attractive spot amidst dense forests, Nachiketa Taal is
situated between Panchangaon and Fold Gaon.
Nachiketa Taal is perennialy filled with water. A drive through the
terraced fields takes one to Chaurangi-Khal, a place 29 kms. from
Uttarkashi and from there a 3
kms.trek, through lush green forests, takes one to Nachiketa Taal, a
tranquil spot. There is greenery all around Nachiketa Taal and a small
temple at the bank of the lake gives a serene look to the already
beautiful surroundings.
Nachiketa, the devout son of saint Uddalak, is said to have created this
lake and hence, the name. There is no accommodation facility and visitors
have either to come back to Uttarkashi or stay at the PWD Inspection House
at Chaurangi-Khal.
