Chopta-Tungnath: Weekend Trek to the Highest Shiva Temple

Why This Trek is Your Perfect Escape

Chopta is often called the 'Mini Switzerland of India' for a reason. Located in the Garhwal Himalayas, it is the perfect launchpad for the Tungnath-Chandrashila trek. At 12,073 ft, the Tungnath temple is the highest Shiva temple in the world, and pushing further to the Chandrashila peak at 13,500 ft gives you a 360-degree view of Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba peaks that you simply cannot miss.

What the Journey Looks Like

• The Summit Push: We guide you from Chopta through rhododendron forests up to Tungnath and then the steep climb to Chandrashila.
• Deoria Tal: This serene high-altitude lake is part of our itinerary, famous for its reflection of the Chaukhamba massifs.
• Winter Magic: Unlike some trails that close, Chopta is beautiful in winter. We provide crampons, spikes, and high-altitude sleeping bags so you can experience the snow-covered temples and frozen landscapes safely.
