Chopta Chandrashila Trek is known for its scenic beauty all season. It passes through some beautiful forests and affords excellent views of snow-clad peaks. The trek gives one the opportunity to visit the 1000-year-old Tungnath temple (12,073 feet), which is the highest shrine of Lord Shiva in the world. It is believed to have been built by Arjuna himself. According to legend, the arms of the bull form of Lord Shiva appeared in Tungnath. The Panch Kedar designated in the usual pecking order to be followed for pilgrimage for worship are the Kedarnath (3,583 m), the Tungnath(3,680 m ), Rudranath (2,286 m), Madmaheshwar (3,490 m) and Kalpeshwar (2,200 m).

One of the most beautiful attractions during the trek is Chandrashila Peak (12,110 Feet), famous for its breathtaking 360-degree view of the Himalayan ranges. This peak is one of the few in Uttarakhand that can also be climbed during the winter months and makes the trail as one of best winter treks in Uttarakhand. Amazing view of Kedarnath Peak from the Top of the Chandrashila Peak.

History of Chopta Tungnath

Chopta Tungnath is located in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. Historically and mythologically, it's considered a very significant temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Situated on the elevation of 3,680 m above sea level, it's the highest Shiva temple and one of the Panch-Kedar temples.

According to the mythological stories, when Pandavas went out in search of forgiveness of their sins after the war of Mahabharata, they were looking for Lord Shiva to forgive them but Lord Shiva was angry and he hid himself in the form of a bull (Nandi). Later the different parts of his body appeared in the different five places and these five places are known as the Panch Kedar. In Tungnath, Lord Shiva's arms appeared and Pandavas built a temple here. Tungnath temple is believed to be thousand years old and reflects the North-Indian architecture style. It is also believed that Lord Ram had meditated here. 

The surrounding of Tungnath temple is very peaceful and full of positive aura. Every year, many devotees come here to worship Lord Shiva and get mental peace.
