Tungnath – Chandrashila Trek — A Journey Above the Clouds

The Tungnath – Chandrashila Trek is one of the most iconic Himalayan treks in Uttarakhand, combining spirituality, adventure, and breathtaking mountain views. Located in the Garhwal Himalayas, this trail takes you to Tungnath Temple, the highest Shiva temple in the world, and further to the magnificent Chandrashila Peak.

The journey begins from Chopta, often called the “Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand”, where the trail winds through beautiful rhododendron forests, alpine meadows, and peaceful mountain landscapes. The ancient Tungnath Temple, one of the revered Panch Kedar temples, offers a deeply spiritual experience surrounded by the majestic Himalayas.

Continuing further to Chandrashila Summit (approx. 12,000 ft), trekkers are rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of some of the highest Himalayan peaks, including Chaukhamba, Nanda Devi, Kedarnath Dome, Trishul, and Bandarpoonch.

A perfect blend of devotion, nature, and adventure, Tungnath–Chandrashila is not just a trek to a summit — it is a journey into the heart of the Himalayas.
