Destination overview
About Chopta Tungnath
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.

Akanksha VishwakarmaGoogle review I am delighted that I chose Safar Wanderlust for my first trip to Himachal. I didn't even realize it had passed after these five days because everything had gone so smoothly and nicely. Our trip was unforgettable thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Ram Thakur sir. To us, he was more like a buddy than a tour guide. I had a terrific encounter with him! You have given me the greatest memories of my life and made every penny worth it ✨️.

From the very beginning, his professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality made our journey truly special. Ram's deep understanding of the local culture, history, and terrain added immense value to our trip. He shared fascinating stories and insightful details that we would have otherwise missed. His passion for his work was evident in the way he ensured we had an enriching and enjoyable experience.
