Why Choose Chopta – Tungnath Trek?

The Chopta – Tungnath Trek is a short yet exhilarating Himalayan journey in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, making it ideal for beginners, casual trekkers, and nature enthusiasts. Often referred to as the “Mini Switzerland of India”, Chopta is a pristine alpine meadowland surrounded by majestic peaks, dense forests of oak and deodar, and seasonal wildflowers, offering breathtaking panoramic views at every step.

The trail gradually ascends through lush forests, bubbling streams, and quaint villages, giving trekkers a chance to experience the serene Himalayan lifestyle. The trek leads to Tungnath Temple, the highest Shiva temple in the world (3,680 m), which is steeped in mythology, spirituality, and local culture. From there, adventurers can push on to Chandrashila Summit (3,914 m), where the 360-degree Himalayan panorama showcases peaks such as Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Kedar Peak, and Bandarpoonch, creating a truly awe-inspiring experience.

The route winds through the charming towns of Rishikesh, Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, and Ukhimath, tracing the holy rivers Ganga, Alaknanda, and Mandakini.

As the drive progresses, the landscape transforms from bustling river valleys to serene pine and oak forests. After a full day on the road, you arrive at Baniyakund (2,600 m), surrounded by lush meadows and panoramic views of Himalayan peaks. The crisp mountain air and tranquil setting prepare you for the trek ahead.

After an early breakfast, a short drive from Baniyakund to Chopta (2,800 m) brings you to the starting point of today’s adventure. The trail begins with a gradual ascent through dense rhododendron and oak forests, opening up to meadows that offer mesmerizing glimpses of Himalayan peaks.

Your first stop is Tungnath (3,500 m), the highest Shiva temple in the world and one of the Panch Kedar shrines. The temple, surrounded by spirituality and mountain serenity, makes for a soulful pause. From here, the trek continues with a steep climb to the Chandrashila summit (3,690 m).

At the top, you’re rewarded with a 360° panoramic view of the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas, including Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Kedarnath, and Bandarpunch peaks. The breathtaking scenery, combined with the sense of achievement, makes this moment unforgettable.
