About Tungnath Trek
Chopta sits pretty in Rudraprayag district, and it’s basically nature showing off. The Chopta Tungnath Trek starts from
these gorgeous meadows at around 8,500 feet, takes you up to Tungnath Temple (which, fun fact, is
the highest Shiva temple in the world at 12,073 feet), and if you’re feeling ambitious, you can push
on to Chandrashila Peak at about 13,123 feet.
Now, they call this trek “easy to moderate,” but don’t let that fool you. It’s not like walking in the
park. Those stone steps to Tungnath will definitely remind your calves they exist. But here’s why
beginners love it – the payoff comes quick. You’re not slogging for days before seeing anything cool.
Every turn gives you something beautiful to look at on the Chopta-Tungnath-Chandrashila trek.
