Chopta is a small town located in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is situated at an altitude of 2,680 metres (8,790 ft) above sea level in the Garhwal Himalayan range. Chopta is known for its natural beauty and is a popular tourist destination. The town is surrounded by pine forests and includes the Chopta Wildlife Sanctuary. It is also home to the Tungnath Temple, which is one of the highest temples in the world. Chopta is accessible by road from Rishikesh and Dehradun. The group will assemble at the pickup point at 09:00 PM and we’ll start for Chopta via Rishikesh around 09:00 PM. 

Pickup Point: Akshardham Metro Staion

Day 1: Reach Chopta and check into camps

We’ll be reaching Chopta by the Afternoon. Chopta is a beautiful town, with plenty of things to see and do. Upon reaching Chopta, we’ll check into our campsite and freshen up. After that, lunch will be served. The rest of the day is at leisure and you’ll be free to explore local markets and more. Dinner will be served in the evening followed by an overnight stay at Chopta Campsite. Chopta is a great place to relax and enjoy the scenic views.

Day 2: Trek from Chopta to Tungnath Chandrashila

We begin a rather early day this time in order to catch the sunrise by the summit. After driving to Chopta, we shall begin trekking toward Tunganath Temple and Chandrashila. The trek to Tunganath is approximately 3.5km in distance and 1.5km of trekking will bring us to the Chandrashila peak, the whole journey taking us about 4 hours. Interestingly, Tunganath Temple, one of the Panch (five) Kedar, is considered to be the highest temple of Lord Shiva. One the other hand, the Chandrashila peak is 4000m above the sea level gives us a panoramic view of the magnificent Uttarakhand peaks – Kedarnath, Chaukhamba, Nanda Gunti, Hathi, Ghodi, Nanda Devi amongst many others.

Initially, the trail to Tunganath is rocky but eventually changes to traditional high altitude trek terrain. Reaching the Chandrashila peak will mark the end of exploring beautiful destinations during this trek. Nonetheless, a beautiful journey doesn’t end here. We further descend to Chopta through the same route. 

Enjoy a hot dinner, indulge in some talk and pose against a starry night sky. Take adequate rest and relax your muscles.

Upon completing the trek, we’ll be back at Sari Village late in the afternoon.
We will start our return journey back to Delhi and reach early morning
