Deoria Tal a small lake about 11 km north-east of the village of Okhimath on the ridge of a spur which extends from the Badrinath peak to the Mandakini river below the above-named village. The lake is about 120 metres long and 75 metres broad and 20 metres deep. It is of an oval shape. It is very deep on the northern side and is nowhere very shallow. The view from its banks is one of the grandest in the hills, the whole mass of Badrinath being visible from base to summit at a distance 26 kilometres. Early in the morning the snow range is clearly visible reflected on the water. This range includes the Badrinath and the Kedarnath peaks to the west of it.
