The easiest big view in Garhwal.

Tungnath sits at 3,680 m and is the third of the Panch Kedar, reached by a 3.5 km paved path from Chopta that most people walk in two to three hours. Another 1.5 km of steeper ground gets you to Chandrashila at 4,000 m, and on a clear morning that summit gives a genuine 360 degree panorama - Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba and Kedar peak all at once. It runs all year: in winter the trail holds snow and needs microspikes, which we carry.
Overnight drive from Delhi, reaching Rishikesh by morning and climbing through Devprayag and Ukhimath to Chopta. Evening free in the meadows.
Pre-dawn start for Tungnath, then the summit push to Chandrashila for sunrise. Descend to Chopta through the morning, afternoon at leisure.
Optional early walk to Deoria Tal, then the long drive back, arriving Delhi late.
It is one of the gentlest Himalayan treks: 3.5 km on a paved path with a steady gradient, usually two to three hours up. The Chandrashila extension is steeper and can be icy between December and March.
Yes, and many people come specifically for the snow. December to March needs microspikes and proper layers, both of which we provide. The temple itself closes for winter, but the trail and the summit stay open.
It is the trek we most often recommend as a first one. Children from about eight upwards manage it comfortably, as do most people with ordinary fitness.
Trek
Eight days to a glacial lake at 4,800 m, across the Ali and Bedni Bugyal meadows with Trishul and Nanda Ghunti overhead. The hardest thing we run, and the one people talk about for years.
