Chopta Tungnath Tour Package from Kolkata
Chopta Tungnath Tour Package from Kolkata
How can I reach Chopta and Tungnath from Kolkata?
Chopta is located approximately 1,650 km from Kolkata and is best reached by taking a flight or train to Dehradun or Haridwar, followed by a scenic 200 km mountain drive through Devprayag, Srinagar and Rudraprayag. A well-planned 6 Nights / 7 Days Chopta Tungnath Tour Package generally starts from ₹19,999 per person, with pricing varying according to hotel category and travel season.
Nestled at an altitude of around 2,600 metres, Chopta is one of Uttarakhand's most picturesque alpine destinations, popularly known as the "Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand." Surrounded by dense forests of deodar and rhododendron, the meadow serves as the gateway to one of the Himalayas' most rewarding beginner-friendly treks.
The highlight of the journey is the trek to Tungnath Temple, recognised as the highest Shiva temple in the world, followed by the optional climb to Chandrashila Summit, where panoramic views stretch across iconic Himalayan peaks including Nanda Devi, Trishul and Chaukhamba. Despite its spectacular scenery, the trail remains accessible for beginners with moderate fitness.
As a Leading Uttarakhand Destination Management Company with over 21 years of on-ground expertise, SnazzyTrips manages the complete journey from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport or Howrah Junction, through Rishikesh and the Garhwal Himalayas, ensuring comfortable transport, carefully planned stays and seamless local coordination.
Unlike traditional pilgrimage itineraries, this journey combines spirituality with adventure. The well-maintained trekking trail, spectacular Himalayan scenery and peaceful alpine meadows make Chopta and Tungnath an excellent choice for couples, families, solo travellers and first-time trekkers looking to experience the Garhwal Himalayas without attempting a difficult high-altitude expedition.
Tour Highlights
Experience one of Uttarakhand's most scenic Himalayan journeys, combining sacred temples, alpine meadows, glacier-fed lakes and beginner-friendly trekking. This itinerary balances adventure, spirituality and breathtaking mountain landscapes while remaining accessible for most travellers.
⛰️ Tungnath Temple
Trek approximately 3.5–4 km from Chopta to reach Tungnath, the world's highest Shiva temple at an elevation of 3,680 metres and one of the revered Panch Kedar shrines.
🌄 Chandrashila Summit
Continue beyond Tungnath to Chandrashila Summit, where spectacular panoramic views unfold across iconic Himalayan peaks including Nanda Devi, Trishul and Chaukhamba.
🏞️ Deoriatal Lake
Visit the peaceful Deoriatal Lake, reached by an easy 2–2.5 km trek from Sari Village, where calm waters beautifully reflect the majestic Chaukhamba range.
🌲 Chopta Meadows
Relax amidst the lush alpine bugyals (meadows) surrounded by dense oak, pine and rhododendron forests—the natural beauty that has earned Chopta its famous nickname, the "Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand."
🛣️ Devprayag & Rudraprayag
Witness two of Uttarakhand's most sacred river confluences as you travel through Devprayag and Rudraprayag, where Himalayan rivers merge amidst dramatic mountain scenery.
🕉️ Ganga Aarti Experience
Begin or conclude your Himalayan journey with the spiritually uplifting Ganga Aarti at Rishikesh or Haridwar, one of Uttarakhand's most memorable cultural experiences.
🥾 Beginner-Friendly Himalayan Trek
Unlike many Himalayan treks, the Chopta–Tungnath trail is well-paved, clearly marked and suitable for beginners, families and reasonably fit senior travellers seeking high-altitude mountain views without technical climbing.
Who This Package Is For
This package is ideal for travellers from Kolkata who wish to experience authentic Himalayan trekking without attempting difficult mountaineering expeditions. It is perfectly suited for first-time trekkers, couples, families with older children, photography enthusiasts and nature lovers looking for spectacular Himalayan scenery.
The itinerary is also an excellent choice for travellers who have already visited popular pilgrimage destinations such as Kedarnath or Badrinath and want to explore a quieter yet equally rewarding region of the Garhwal Himalayas.
This tour is less suitable for travellers seeking a completely relaxed hill-station holiday without walking, as the Tungnath–Chandrashila trek forms the centrepiece of the overall experience.
SnazzyTrips Recommendation
Many itineraries compress Chopta and Tungnath into a rushed three-day trip from Rishikesh. While this may suit travellers arriving from nearby cities, it often leaves visitors from Kolkata exhausted after a long flight or train journey before the trek even begins.
SnazzyTrips recommends spending a comfortable overnight stay in Rishikesh before heading into the mountains. The itinerary also separates the Tungnath–Chandrashila trek and the Deoriatal excursion into two relaxed sightseeing days, allowing travellers to fully enjoy each destination without unnecessary fatigue.
📍 SnazzyTrips Tip: Begin your Tungnath–Chandrashila trek shortly after sunrise. Morning hours usually offer the clearest Himalayan views, comfortable trekking temperatures and the best opportunity to experience the spectacular panorama before clouds begin gathering around the peaks.
