Detailed Overview

In winter this part of the world puts on a different look. A look which will make you stand awestruck before taking the next step through the snow!  Chopta, Deoriatal, Tungnath & Chandrashila Winter Trek is one of a kind experience. The 5000-year-old Tunganath temple located at a height of 3,680 m (12,073 ft) just below the peak of Chandrashila, is the highest Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is one of the Panch Kedars and is believed to be built by Arjuna himself.

Chandrashila is famous for its breathtaking 360-degree view of the Himalayan ranges. Deorital and Chopta are the places which are blessed with some unmatchable beauty of nature. This is an exclusive chance for you to witness the peculiar culture of a village which wakes up every morning before the mighty Himalayas. Wake up with them and experience how they go about their daily lives. Even for a day be a part of their life. The 5 days of this trek will give you the opportunity to breathe in the love of Mother Nature. You will be walking through the thick woods and green meadows and spending your night under the starry sky.
