Trek highlights

Seated at an altitude of 2,680 metres (8,790 ft) above sea level, and nestled in the prettiest part of the Garhwal Himalayan range, is the small town of Chopta. This adorable hamlet will be the start of our trek:

The journey starts towards this village, via Rishikesh
Once in Chopta, you get to refresh, relax and enjoy a delicious local lunch
Feel free to wander around the local markets and explore the area on your own
A rather early next day takes you towards Tunganath Temple (one of the panch Kedar and the highest temple of Lord Shiva) and Chandrashila
Take in the panaromic views of the major peaks of Uttarakhand - Kedarnath, Chaukhamba, Nanda Gunti, Hathi, Ghodi, Nanda Devi to name a few
As you settle down that night after a hearty dinner, your heart will be filled with immense memories and vivid images
The last day takes you to Sari village, the starting point of the Deoriatal Trek
Enjoy the charm of the lake, soak in the sights and fill your camera and mind with pictures to carry back

The Chandrashila trek package has been created for everyone – amateur, weekend and seasoned trekkers. And as the ultimate planners, we will make sure that you have the trek of your lives with us!

Day O | Delhi to Chopta via Rishikesh

The area of Chopta lies in the heart region of Uttarakhand and lies at an altitude of 2,680 metres (8,790 ft) in the glorious Garhwal Himalaya. We could also call it the Mini Switzerland of India, this charming village is known to be framed by the unblemished nature with its pine vegetation and peaceful mountain sights. It is also under the Chopta Wildlife Sanctuary making it more appealing to nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.

The terrific Tungnath Temple, one of the highest Shiva temples of the globe, is one of the highlights of Chopta, which makes it a spiritual and a trekking paradise. Chopta is an easily accessible hill station that can be reached easily through the roadways with Rishikesh and Dehradun. It is therefore one of the peaceful retreat areas and the resorts found there would protect the privacy of trekkers, photographers, and people who want to enjoy the quietest pace of nature.

We will meet at the scheduled pickup location about 9:00pm, and then we will start going to Chopta overnight via Rishikesh. An adventure starts!

Trek guidelines

To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:

No alcohol or smoking
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Dinner before boarding
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
Travel arrangements
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
"Without Travel" option
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Embrace the outdoors
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
Food provided
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
Leave no trace policy
Please help us keep our beautiful outdoors clean by disposing of all litter properly.
