Trek Overview
The Chopta Tungnath Trek is one of the most beautiful short Himalayan treks in Uttarakhand. Located in the Garhwal region, this trek takes you to the sacred Tungnath Temple, which is the highest Shiva temple in the world and one of the Panch Kedar shrines.
Starting from the picturesque meadow town of Chopta, the well-laid stone pathway gradually ascends through lush green forests, alpine meadows, and snow-covered trails (in winter). The trek further extends to Chandrashila Peak, offering a breathtaking 360° view of Himalayan giants like Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba.
This 2N/3D trek is perfect for beginners, families, and weekend adventurers looking for a short Himalayan escape filled with spiritual vibes, scenic beauty, and snow experiences (during winter).
