Chopta Tungnath Trek to the highest Shiva Temple. Snow peaks, green meadows, and ancient legends welcome every traveller.

Chopta lies in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. Tungnath Temple sits above Chopta at nearly 3,680 metres, reached by a scenic mountain trek.

Tungnath Temple stands as the highest Shiva temple in the world and is over 1,000 years old.

Pandavas searched for Lord Shiva to seek forgiveness. Shiva hid in the Himalayas and appeared in different forms at Panch Kedar. At Tungnath, his arms are believed to have appeared.

During summer, Chopta turns into a carpet of green grass and colourful flowers. In winter, the entire region becomes white with snow, making it look like a Himalayan Switzerland.

The 3.5 km trek from Chopta to Tungnath offers forests, birds, meadows, and unforgettable mountain views.

Above Tungnath lies Chandrashila, a summit linked with Lord Rama and panoramic Himalayan views.

Tungnath is one of the sacred Panch Kedar temples and holds deep spiritual importance for Shiva devotees.

April to June is perfect for pleasant weather and green landscapes. December to February is ideal for snow lovers, when Chopta and Tungnath become a white wonderland.

From mystery and mythology to stunning Himalayan views, Chopta Tungnath is a journey you will never forget.
