Who wouldn’t be thrilled to discover oneself in a place frequently referred to as Switzerland of Uttrakhand, with its breathtaking splendour of verdant meadows or snow-covered plains and mountains? You don’t think we’re real? As we go over our CHOPTA TUNGNATH CHANDRASHEELA TREK PACKAGE, let me explain.
Chopta is a section of Uttrakhand’s Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, situated at an elevation of 2608 meters. Well-connected and easily reachable by car, Chopta has emerged as one of the most popular trekking destinations for adventure seekers. One of the explanations is that this trekking track is open year-round. The 4 km track of the Chopta Tungnath Trek may not seem like much, but the rewards of completing it will be well worth it.
Once you reach the summit of Tungnath Temple, the tallest shrine of Lord Shiva, you will be at an elevation of 12,106 feet. The adventure continues as we make our way to the summit of Chandrashila, which is about 1.5 km away from the temple. At 3690 meters, the top of Chandrashila peak is located.
The heavenly sights that await you after you begin your walk and reach the summit will astound you. These sights include the summit view of Chandrasheela Peak, snow-capped peaks of powerful mountains, and the spiritual touch of Tungnath temple.
We will make sure you have all the instructions, safety, and comfort you need for this exciting 2-night 3-day excursion so you can enjoy every breathtaking moment of the voyage.

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.
