Chopta Chandrashila Trek

Chopta Chandrashila Trek is known for its scenic beauty all season. It passes through some beautiful forests and affords excellent views of snow-clad peaks. The trek gives one the opportunity to visit the 1000-year-old Tungnath temple (12,073 feet), which is the highest shrine of Lord Shiva in the world. It is believed to have been built by Arjuna himself. According to legend, the arms of the bull form of Lord Shiva appeared in Tungnath. The Panch Kedar designated in the usual pecking order to be followed for pilgrimage for worship are the Kedarnath (3,583 m), the Tungnath(3,680 m ), Rudranath (2,286 m), Madmaheshwar (3,490 m) and Kalpeshwar (2,200 m).

One of the most beautiful attractions during the trek is Chandrashila Peak (12,110 Feet), famous for its breathtaking 360-degree view of the Himalayan ranges. This peak is one of the few in Uttarakhand that can also be climbed during the winter months and makes the trail as one of best winter treks in Uttarakhand.
