    About Chandrashila Trek

    Chandrashila Trek is one of the most popular and scenic Himalayan treks in Uttarakhand, famous for its breathtaking summit views, peaceful forest trails, and the iconic Tungnath Temple – the highest Shiva temple in the world.

    The trek begins from the beautiful hill town of Chopta and gradually ascends through dense oak and rhododendron forests, leading to the sacred Tungnath Temple and further to the Chandrashila Summit.

    What makes Chandrashila special is its short yet rewarding trail, making it an ideal choice for beginners as well as experienced trekkers looking for a quick Himalayan adventure with grand mountain views.

    The summit day offers a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of the Himalayan ranges, including Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Kedar Dome and Bandarpoonch, especially magical during sunrise.

    With stunning ridgelines, spiritual vibes, and a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty, the Chandrashila Trek promises an unforgettable Himalayan journey for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.
