Chandrashila
Chandrashila, which means "Moon Rock," is a mountain located 3965 meters above sea level that provides breathtaking views of Himalayan peaks such as Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba. The Chandrashila trek is difficult, with steep ascents and descents. The breathtaking vistas from the peak, though, make it all worthwhile. After completing the Chopta Tungnath trek and reaching the world's tallest Shiva temple, the Chandrashila trek begins which is around 1.5 km long. The last stretch of the Chandrashila trek might be difficult because it includes ascending high hills, but the effort is well worth it. After the Chopta Tungnath trek, the trail narrows and ascends to the meadows of Chandrashila Peak. The last summit of the mountain, where the Tungnath temple is also located, is Chandrashila summit. On the peak, there is a lovely, tiny temple. Nanda Devi, Trishul, Nanda Ghunti, Kedar Dome, Chaukhamba, Kamet, Gangotri ranges, Shivling Peak, and Himalayan summits may all be seen from there. Aside from its natural beauty, Chandrashila has significant spiritual importance. In the Hindu epic Ramayana, it is said that Lord Rama meditated here after conquering the evil king Ravana. A modest shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva marks the peak, where devotees offer prayers and seek blessings. The Chopta Tungnath trek, along with Chandrashila trek, draws not just hikers and spiritual seekers but also nature aficionados and photographers. The clean surroundings, alpine meadows, and panoramic panoramas offer several possibilities to interact with nature and produce breathtaking images.
