Sightseeing of Chopta Tungnath Trek
In our trek package of Chopta and Tungnath, we not only take you on an exciting trekking journey but also offer visits to some of the most revered and scenic locations in Uttarakhand. Here's a glimpse of what you’ll experience:
Deoria Tal
Deoria Tal is a high-altitude lake nestled at an elevation of around 2,438 meters and is one of the most prominent site to visit in our Chandrashila trek package. The lake is surrounded by dense forests of rhododendron and oak, and its clear waters mirror the Chaukhamba and Kedarnath peaks, creating a picture-perfect scene. Deoria Tal is an ideal place for camping, bird watching, and photography. It offers tranquility and panoramic views, making it a refreshing stop during your trek.
Chopta
Known as the "Mini Switzerland of India," Chopta is a lush green valley that lies at an altitude of 2,680 meters. It’s the starting point for this trek and is surrounded by thick forests of pine, deodar, and rhododendron. The beauty of Chopta lies in its unspoiled landscape and its meadows, which are perfect for trekking, camping, and simply enjoying nature’s beauty. From here, you get stunning views of the Himalayan ranges, including Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba peaks.
Tungnath Temple
Perched at an altitude of 3,680 meters, Tungnath is the highest Shiva temple in the world. It is one of the Panch Kedar temples and holds immense spiritual significance. The temple is believed to be over 1,000 years old and is a key destination for both pilgrims and trekkers. The hike to the temple is relatively short but steep, and the views from the top are absolutely breathtaking. Snow-clad peaks, clear skies, and the serene atmosphere make Tungnath a highlight of the trek. See the Tungnath temple opening and closing date for the temple's own seasonal calendar, or our guide on how to reach Tungnath temple if you're planning the trip independently rather than as part of this package.
Devprayag
Devprayag is a town of spiritual and geographical importance, as it marks the confluence of the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers and is a part of Panch Prayags in India, which together form the holy Ganges. It is another most prominent sightseeing of our trek package. The town is surrounded by lush green hills, and the confluence itself is a stunning sight, where the clear waters of the two rivers merge to create the Ganga. Devprayag is also home to the Raghunathji Temple, dedicated to Lord Rama, making it a famous pilgrimage site.
Rudraprayag
Rudraprayag is another important confluence in Uttarakhand, where the Alaknanda River meets the Mandakini River. This picturesque town has a strong connection with Hindu mythology and is a key stop on the Chopta to Tungnath trek package route, Do Dham yatra package and Char Dham yatra package route. The natural beauty of the region is unparalleled, with rivers, forests, and mountains creating a serene backdrop. Rudraprayag is also known for the Rudranath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and is a place where travelers can find both peace and spiritual solace.
Dhari Devi Temple
Dhari Devi Temple, located on the banks of the Alaknanda River near Srinagar, is dedicated to Goddess Kali. The temple holds great significance for locals, who believe that the deity protects the region from calamities. The shrine is unique as only the upper part of the goddess is worshipped here, with the lower part believed to be at Kalimath Temple, near Kedarnath. The temple is set against the backdrop of the flowing river and lush surroundings, making it a peaceful and spiritually uplifting stop on your trek to Tungnath temple. In addition to this all those who are going for 4 dham yatra also take a pit stop here and take the blessings of Maa Dhari Devi.
