The trek begins from Chopta, a serene village nestled in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Chopta serves as the base camp for the trek, offering a peaceful environment surrounded by lush oak and rhododendron forests. From here, trekkers embark on a 3.5-kilometer climb to Tungnath Temple, situated at an altitude of 3,680 meters. The climb is steep but manageable, making it a perfect trek for beginners and moderately experienced trekkers. For those looking for an even more challenging hike, you can continue to Chandrashila Peak, which is an additional 1.5 kilometers from Tungnath and offers a panoramic view of the Himalayan range.
