Chopta - Tungnath Trek Overview
Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila Trek – Explore the Highest Shiva Temple and Scenic Himalayan Summit
The Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila Trek is one of the most rewarding and picturesque short treks in Uttarakhand, known for its combination of spiritual significance, Himalayan beauty, and accessibility. Situated in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, this trek offers a perfect blend of adventure, nature, and devotion.
The journey begins from Chopta, a charming hill station often referred to as the “Mini Switzerland of India”, surrounded by lush meadows and alpine forests. From here, the trail ascends towards Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world, located at an altitude of 3,680 meters (12,073 ft). This ancient temple is one of the Panch Kedar shrines and holds immense spiritual value.
A further climb of about 1.5 km takes you to the Chandrashila Summit, standing tall at approximately 4,000 meters (13,123 ft). From this vantage point, trekkers are treated to an unmatched 360-degree panoramic view of the Himalayas, including peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Kedarnath Dome, and Bandarpunch.

Chopta - Tungnath Trek Detailed Itinerary
Distance: 210 km
Time: 8–10 hours
Altitude Gain: 340 m (Rishikesh) → 2,600 m (Chopta)
Route: Rishikesh/Haridwar → Devprayag → Srinagar → Rudraprayag → Agastyamuni → Ukhimath → Chopta
The drive from Rishikesh or Haridwar to Chopta is a picturesque journey through the Garhwal Himalayas, taking approximately 8–10 hours by road. The route follows the Alaknanda River and climbs steadily through winding mountain roads, sacred confluences, and charming hill towns. As you cross Devprayag—the confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers forming the holy Ganga—the spiritual energy of the region begins to build.
Passing through Srinagar, Rudraprayag, and Agastyamuni, you’ll witness the changing landscape—from subtropical valleys to alpine terrain. After Rudraprayag, the route ascends towards Ukhimath, the winter seat of Kedarnath Temple, where the idol of Lord Kedarnath is worshipped during the snow season. Ukhimath itself is a sacred stop, offering insights into local Garhwali culture and religious practices.
The final leg from Ukhimath to Chopta is a narrow, scenic road cutting through dense forests of oak, rhododendron, and deodar. During spring, the entire stretch bursts into bloom with red and pink rhododendrons, while in winter, the road may be lined with fresh snow, adding a mystical vibe to the journey. Chopta, often called the “Mini Switzerland of India,” welcomes you with its wide alpine meadows and stunning Himalayan views.
Perched at an altitude of 2,600 meters, Chopta is a tranquil basecamp for treks to Tungnath Temple and Chandrashila Summit. The crisp mountain air, quiet surroundings, and panoramic vistas of snow-capped peaks like Chaukhamba, Trishul, and Nanda Devi make Chopta a perfect acclimatization stop before your trek.
Connectivity is limited beyond Rudraprayag, so it’s recommended to download offline maps and inform family ahead of time. Stock up on essentials like snacks, water, and warm clothing as the temperature can drop quickly after sunset.
Whether you’re on a spiritual quest, nature retreat, or Himalayan adventure, the road to Chopta sets the perfect tone—inviting you to slow down, breathe deep, and prepare for the soul-stirring journey to Tungnath and Chandrashila.
Distance: ~9–10 km (round-trip trek)
Time: 6–7 hours
Altitude Gain: 2,600 m (Chopta) → 3,680 m (Tungnath) → 4,000 m (Chandrashila)
Route: Trek from Chopta to Tungnath Temple, further to Chandrashila Summit, then descend back to Chopta
The day begins early in Chopta, often with a chilly breeze and clear skies—ideal conditions for trekking. After a warm breakfast, begin your ascent on the well-marked stone-paved trail through thick forests of rhododendron, pine, and oak. As you climb, the views begin to open up, revealing snow-dusted meadows and Himalayan peaks in the distance.
After trekking approximately 3.5 km uphill, you’ll reach the sacred Tungnath Temple—the highest Shiva temple in the world, standing at an elevation of 3,680 meters (12,073 ft). This temple is one of the Panch Kedar shrines and holds immense significance for devotees of Lord Shiva. In spring and summer, the temple is open for darshan; in winter, it remains snow-covered and closed, but trekkers still visit for its spiritual energy and stunning setting.
From Tungnath, continue the steeper 1.5 km climb to Chandrashila Peak, which takes around 45–60 minutes. The trail narrows and winds through exposed ridgelines. Upon reaching Chandrashila Summit (~4,000 m / 13,123 ft), you’re rewarded with an awe-inspiring 360-degree panoramic view of the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas, including majestic peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Kedar Dome, and Bandarpoonch.
This vantage point is especially famous for its sunrise views, when the first rays of the sun illuminate the snow-covered peaks in shades of gold and orange. It’s a spiritual, meditative moment that leaves most trekkers speechless.
After soaking in the views and capturing unforgettable photographs, retrace your steps back to Tungnath and descend further to Chopta. The descent is faster but requires careful footing, especially if there’s snow or wet stones on the path.
Return to your campsite or guesthouse in Chopta by afternoon or early evening. Enjoy a hot meal and rest under a starlit Himalayan sky, with the satisfaction of having completed one of Uttarakhand’s most iconic day hikes.
Distance: ~210 km (by road)
Time: 8–9 hours
Altitude Loss: 2,600 m (Chopta) → 340 m (Rishikesh)
Route: Chopta → Ukhimath → Agastyamuni → Rudraprayag → Srinagar → Devprayag → Rishikesh/Haridwar
After an early breakfast in Chopta, begin your return drive toward Rishikesh or Haridwar, descending gradually from the high meadows and forests back to the plains. The road retraces the same scenic route taken on Day 1, but with a different perspective and a peaceful sense of accomplishment after completing the Chandrashila summit trek.
En route, you can make a brief stop at Ukhimath, home to the Omkareshwar Temple, where the idol of Lord Kedarnath is worshipped during the winter months. It’s a culturally rich stop that offers deeper insight into the region’s spiritual traditions.
The road journey continues past Agastyamuni and Rudraprayag, where the Mandakini and Alaknanda Rivers meet. As you move closer to Devprayag, take a moment to appreciate the sacred confluence where the Ganga River officially forms—a must-see for spiritually inclined travelers and photographers alike.
The last leg of the drive follows the Ganga riverbanks, flanked by mountain cliffs and forested valleys until you reach Rishikesh or Haridwar by evening. This marks the end of your Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila Trek, one of the best short Himalayan treks in Uttarakhand.
