Mr Kamlesh Sharmass Chardham Yatra Package Experience

The Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila trek is one of the most beautiful and beginner-friendly treks in India. Whether you’re a student, a young working professional, or a senior traveler looking for a peaceful getaway, this trek is suitable for all age groups.

What Makes Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila So Special?

Chopta is known as the “Mini Switzerland of India” because of its breathtaking views of snow-covered Himalayan peaks and lush green meadows (bugyals). Located at an altitude of 2,608 meters in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, Chopta sits on a connecting road between the Kedarnath and Badrinath highways. One end of this road joins Kedarnath highway at Kund, and the other meets Badrinath highway at Gopeshwar.

The main Chopta market is small, with 5-10 dhabas and 4-5 hotels. This is where the famous Tungnath-Chandrashila trek begins. The trek to Tungnath is about 3.5 km and offers amazing scenic views, perfect for first-time trekkers.

Tungnath Temple

Tungnath, situated at an altitude of 3,680 meters, is the highest temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and one of the Panch Kedar temples (Kedarnath, Tungnath, Madhmaheshwar, Rudranath, Kalpeshwar). It is believed to be built by the Pandavas and holds great importance in Hindu mythology. Here, Lord Shiva’s arms are worshipped.

Chandrashila Summit

Chandrashila is a summit located at around 3,700 meters. It is just 1 km ahead of Tungnath Temple and offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Himalayas. It is believed that Lord Rama meditated at this peak. The final stretch to Chandrashila is a bit steep but worth the climb.
