If you’re looking for a trek that combines nature with spirituality, the Tungnath trek is a must-do. Located at an altitude of 3,680 meters, Tungnath is the highest Shiva temple in the world and part of the famous Panch Kedar.
The trek starts from Chopta and is about 3.5 km long. The path is paved and easy to follow, making it ideal for beginners and families. Along the way, you’ll walk through rhododendron forests, meadows, and stunning mountain backdrops.
Once you reach Tungnath, you can continue for another 1.5 km to reach the summit of Chandrashila, which means “Moon Rock.” This short but steep climb takes you to an altitude of around 4,000 meters, offering one of the most stunning panoramic views of the Himalayas.
From the top, you can witness a 360-degree view of mighty peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, Kedar Dome, and Chaukhamba. It’s especially popular for catching the sunrise – the golden light hitting the peaks is an unforgettable sight.
Even in winter, many adventure seekers trek to Chandrashila for a thrilling snow trek experience. With proper gear and guidance, it’s safe and full of excitement.
Chaukhamba Camp Stay offers all-season camping in Chopta with cozy tents, local food, and guided treks to Tungnath and Chandrashila. Experience nature like never before.
