Chopta - Tungnath
Distance : 3 ½ km
Time : 2 - 3 hours
Level : Easy – Moderate
Early morning, after breakfast we will start trekking for Tungnath (3,660m). The smack-on view of Bandarpoonch, with the Kedar massif off to the west is quite surreal. Built of solid granite slabs, the Shiva temple at Tungnath resembles the ancient temple of Bageshwar and Jageshwar. Night stay at Camp.

Tungnath – Chandrashila Peak – Chopta
Time : 4-5 hours
Level : Moderate
Start early and climb. Backtrack down the stairs to the Chopta path, and turn left (north – wards) on the clear trail. Chandrashila Peak (4,130 m) is broad summit, strewn with cairns, and wide views of the Mandakini and Alaknanda valleys and the white giants that water them: Chaukhamba, Bandarpoonch, Kedarnath, Nandadevi, Gangotri, Neelkanth and several other peaks.
You will roll down the hill to Tungnath and return to Chopta. |
