Tungnath & Chandrashila Trek

2 Days / 1 Night

The classic Chopta trek — world's highest Shiva temple at Tungnath, then sunrise summit at Chandrashila.

This is our most popular trek from camp: a well-marked trail through oak and rhododendron forest to Tungnath Temple, then a final push to Chandrashila summit.

On clear days the 360° panorama spans Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba, and Kedarnath peaks — unforgettable at sunrise.
