One of the most revered gods in Hinduism, Lord Shiva is renowned for being incredibly compassionate and benevolent.Every Hindu is aware of His holiness and heavenly ability to arouse compassion, wishfulness, and joy in our souls. Dev Bhumi, Uttarakhand, is incredibly lucky to be home to the world’s highest shrine dedicated to Bhole Bhadra and one of the most revered temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. We are offering you the Kedarnath and Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila Trek Package, which is suitable not just for those seeking spirituality but also for adventure and vacation travelers.A journey with numerous divine vistas of mountains, snow-capped peaks, trails with lush green meadows, natural waterfalls, and much more will not only spiritually touch your soul but also revitalize your senses. In addition to all of these benefits, after climbing a steep distance to reach the summit, this hiking experience never fails to astound its visitors. To ensure that this vacation is one of your most unforgettable, allow us to briefly introduce you to the two heavenly locations we will be taking you to.
Kedarnath is one of the most well-known and frequently visited locations in terms of Hinduism and spirituality. Situated at an elevation of 3583 meters, the temple is part of Devbhoomi Uttrakhand Chamoli district. It is the first stop on the Panch Kedar pilgrimage site and one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, constructed in honor of Lord Shiva. It is also the site of the highest altitude of all the twelve. Thousands of tourists from all over the world visit this wonder situated in the lap of nature each year. Owing to its high elevation, the Kedarath Temple offers an 18-kilometer walking trail that begins in Gaurikund. The hike is quite high, therefore it’s advisable to get checked out by a doctor frequently. Those who have respiratory issues may find it uncomfortable at the summit. Trekkers will find this trip to be a welcome diversion after seeing the breathtaking Kedarnath Temple.
Well-connected and reachable via roads Travel enthusiasts now consider Chopta to be one of the most popular trekking destinations. One of the explanations is that this track trail is open all year round. The track of 4 kilometers makes the Chopta Tungnath journey relatively short, but don’t let that detract from the accomplishment of the journey; upon completion, you will reach an elevation of 12,106 feet, the highest shrine of Lord Shiva, the Temple Tungnath.Moving on doesn’t mean that the fun is over. We carry on walking to the summit of Chandrashila, which is only 1.5 km distant from the temple. The elevation of the Chandrashila summit is 3690 meters. This is a great place to see the view. You can see magnificent peaks like Chaukhamba and Nanda Devi from here. The site is covered in heavy layers of snow during the winter and is blanketed in lush green meadows during the summer and spring seasons. Visitors are often in awe of this place’s year-round splendor.
This tour and trek package has been carefully chosen to provide our guests the best of both worlds—a spiritual and adventurous experience paired with breathtaking views of the heavenly Himalayan region. Given everything said above, we always advise our travelers to confirm their medical suitability for high altitudes. People with respiratory issues may find it difficult to breathe at times due to the extremely thin air. Aside from that, we take all necessary precautions to guarantee the safest and best possible travel experience.
We will transport you to Sonprayag in comfort after picking you up from Haridwar, one of the holiest cities in India. This ride will cover 233 kilometers, and I estimate that it will take 7 to 8 hours total. If necessary, we will stop for breaks and refreshments along the way. As you approach Sonpra Yag, which is located at an elevation of 1829 meters, this portion of the route will offer you plenty of opportunities to see flora and animals as well as changes in temperature and air quality. Sonprayag is well-known for being the location of the alleged marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Thus, this location has great spiritual significance.
We start our second day of travel to Kedarnath after spending a peaceful night at Sonprayag. This section of the tour will take you over a 16-kilometer trek, so be ready with all of your excitement. Trekking will undoubtedly revitalize both your body and spirit. We will take a taxi to Gaurikund, where the trekking adventure will start. To ensure that you finish the journey on time, trekking will begin at 4 AM. Additionally, the walk will take about 6 and 1/2 hours to finish, and once it is, you will be able to see Kedarnatha, one of the holiest temples in all of India. You will be able to see stunning views of Bheem Bali and jungle chatti, two popular locations to stop for refreshments, throughout the journey. The hike reaches a high height of 3583 meters, thus a medical examination is necessary because it could be challenging for those with respiratory issues. Palki mules or Kandi are other options if you would rather not walk.
On the third day of our trip, we go down to Sonprayag, taking in the picturesque scenery as we stroll downhill. Even if the descent could grow steep, be sure to take proper safety measures when descending via narrow spaces. Once you get in Gaurikund, you are welcome to stay and enjoy this serene and meditative location. After that, we’ll drive you the 35 kilometers to Chopta, where we’ll spend the night before continuing on to the next destination the following day. Make sure you get enough sleep and spend time admiring the Chopta night sky.
Be ready to experience the enchantment of Chandrasheela Peak and Tungnath Temple on the fourth day. We are going to march in the direction of the Tungnath Temple, which is about 4 km from Chopta. You can get some breathtaking views of snow-covered landscapes in the winter and verdant meadows in the spring by hiking this walk. Depending on the view you’re after, you can visit this trip at any time of year because it’s accessible all year round. Once you arrive at the site, the world’s highest shrine, the Tungnath Temple, will offer you a wonderful feeling that your senses and spirit will be able to perceive and appreciate.Not only that, but when we reach the summit of Chandrasheela Peak, you will be treated to a view unlike anything you have ever seen before; it will be in your memory forever. It is also impossible to put into words the sensation of being on top of the globe while admiring the magnificent peaks of Chaukhamba and Nanda Devi. We will travel to Chopta that same day, where you will once more be able to see a breathtaking night sky while there.
Drive to Chopta, Badrinath, first thing in the morning after breakfast. It takes seven to eight hours to get to Badrinath. After checking into the hotel and becoming refreshed, begin tample darsan.

Experiencing trek is almost everyone’s passion or dream. But before starting or planning for a hike, you must be aware of the during and post-trek pain of your body. It is essential to be strong enough to enjoy your whole trek without any disruption of body ache. One book or decide several months before going on a hike, so you have a significant amount of time exercising your body and training it to become flexible for the trek.
Following are some advantages of training yourself before trek:
Therefore, one must do practice to gain all these benefits. It is not only for the trek but for lifetime fitness also.
Let’s have a look at some factors which must be kept in mind to practice before trek:
It helps the body become flexible and allows you to move your body in any direction you want quickly. It helps make the joints such as shoulders, elbows, hips and knees stronger to prevent any mishappening. It provides much relaxation to your body and relieves the pain. And if you are going on a trek, it is essential to practice stretching way before your hike. It will help you in moving to the higher altitudes region more efficiently.
It is always said that one must sleep like a baby. It means sleep without any worries. This makes you have an adequate amount of sleep which is a significant factor in daily life. So, practice it daily and also before your trek. Try to make yourself comfortable to sleep at higher altitudes.
It is so evident that one has to walk and only walk while Trekking, so it is far more essential to have a good pair of trekking/hiking shoes. Practice walking by wearing your boots before the trek to make yourself used to them. You may opt for an option to keep an extra pair in your bag while trek to help yourself in the opposite condition.
