Tungnath Trek

Tungnath is the highest of the Panch Kedar temples, sitting at 3,680 meters in Uttarakhand’s Rudraprayag district. The trek to Tungnath begins from Chopta, often called the ‘Mini Switzerland of India.’ The 3.5 km trek is quite easy and can be done by beginners too. Along the way, you’ll see breathtaking views of famous Himalayan peaks like Nanda Devi, Chaukhamba, and Kedarnath. Many Uttarakhand Tour Packages include this trek as a must-visit spot for those looking for adventure and peace. Besides its spiritual importance, this trek is a paradise for nature lovers. The path is surrounded by green meadows, colourful rhododendron flowers, and a variety of birds. The temple, which is over 1,000 years old, is strongly connected to the Pandavas from the Mahabharata. If you want an extra challenge, you can continue your journey to Chandrashila, a summit offering a 360-degree view of the majestic Himalayas.
