About Chandrashila Trek Uttaranchal
Chandrashila Trek is one of the popular trek that can be
undertaken round the year, in garhwal Himalayas except during
heavy snowing months of December & January.
According to the legend Lord Shiva’s arms are supposed to have
emerged here. The trek from Chopta to Tungnath is beautiful and
for first one and half kms., we walk through Rhododendron and
Silver Oaks’s dense forest. Suddenly the valley opens and one
finds himself/herself above the tree line and the trail proceeds
between green alpine meadows onwards to the Tungnath Temple. After
"puja", one km of trek will take you to "Chandrashila" peak. and
rewards to the ardent trekkers are the rare & panoramic view of
innumerable and eternally snow covered peaks from an altitude of
approximately 4000 mts.
he Chandrasila summit affords the most beautiful view of the Nanda
Devi, Trishul, Kedar Peak and Chaukhamba peaks.
The trek is strenous, but the natural beauty of your surroundings
will definitely compensate for your strained hamstrings.The
excursion is a day long one, and after the trek, come back to
chopta for a night halt.From Chopta, drive down to Haridwar or the
'Gateway of the Gods'. Enjoy the beauty of this ancient hindu town
and do not miss the magnificient evening 'Aarti' of the River
Ganga at 'Har ki pyari'.
