per personDestination overview
Chopta is a stretch of meadow and oak forest in Rudraprayag district, and the trailhead for one of the most rewarding short treks in Uttarakhand. From Chopta, a paved path climbs to Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world and one of the Panch Kedar. From there it is another steep kilometre to the summit of Chandrashila, which looks out over Chaukhamba, Nanda Devi, Trishul and Kedarnath.
Our five-day trip starts with an overnight journey from Delhi and stops at Devprayag, where the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi meet to become the Ganga. You do the Tungnath–Chandrashila climb on the third day and the short walk to Deoria Tal on the fourth, then head back to Delhi.
It is a good trek for beginners with average fitness. The distances are short, and the reward at the top is a view people usually expect only from much longer treks.

You have given me the greatest memories of my life and made every penny worth it ✨️.

Good to know
Yes. The climb from Chopta to Tungnath is about 3.5 km on a paved path, and Chandrashila is roughly one more kilometre of steeper trail. Most people take three to four hours to go up. You need average fitness, not trekking experience.
No. The temple doors close after Diwali, and the deity is taken to Makkumath for the winter, returning around April or May. The trek itself stays open in winter, and walking up to the snowed-in temple and Chandrashila is one of the most popular snow treks in Uttarakhand.
Snow is most likely between late December and early March. Our February and March departures usually find snow on the upper trail, and sometimes all the way down to Chopta.
Deoria Tal is a small lake above Sari village, reached by a 2–3 km walk. On a clear morning the Chaukhamba peaks reflect in the water.
