A trek to the Tungnath Temple through spectacular beauty of Chopta, Uttarakhand

Chopta, a beautiful place in the mountains of Garhwal Uttarakhand and doorway to the Tungnath Temple which is 3.55 KM far from Chopta. Chopta offers amazing views of the Himalayan range including Trishul,  Nanda Devi and Chaukhamba peaks. Chopta can be reached by via Ukhimath or Gopeshwar.

Trekking to the Tungnath Temple is very famous among the travelers around the world due to beauty and purity of this place. Here I met some tourists from Belgium trekking towards Tungnath Temple.
An attractive place for travelers around the world.
