Chopta Tour Package – 4 Days

Day 1: Haridwar / Rishikesh to Chopta

Start early from Haridwar or Rishikesh and drive along the Ganga through Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag and Ukhimath to Chopta. Stop for tea and photos on the way, then check in at your camp or hotel on arrival. Spend the evening at leisure in the meadows and have dinner at the stay. The drive takes around 7 to 8 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions.

Day 2: Tungnath and Chandrashila Trek

After an early breakfast, begin the trek to Tungnath, one of the highest Shiva temples in the world, through rhododendron and oak forest. Continue to Chandrashila summit if the weather allows, for views of Nanda Devi, Trishul, Kedarnath and Chaukhamba. Return to Chopta in the afternoon, relax and have dinner. The trek to Tungnath is about 3.5 km each way, with the summit adding roughly another 1.5 km.

Day 3: Deoria Tal and Sari Village

After breakfast, drive to Sari village, the starting point for the short trek to Deoria Tal, a calm lake with reflections of the Chaukhamba peaks. Enjoy the walk, spend time by the lake and return to Sari for lunch. Drive back to Chopta in the afternoon and spend the evening at leisure. The trail to Deoria Tal is about 2.5 km each way and suits most fitness levels.

Day 4: Chopta to Haridwar / Rishikesh

Enjoy a slow morning with breakfast and a short walk around the meadows, then check out and drive back to Haridwar or Rishikesh. The tour ends on arrival, with drop-off at your preferred point.

Important travel information

The Tungnath, Chandrashila and Deoria Tal treks depend on weather, snow and trail conditions, and may be shortened or skipped if they are unsafe. Chopta has heavy snowfall in winter, usually from December to February, and trails can close, so check conditions before travelling. Road access between Rishikesh and Chopta, and the road to Sari village, can be affected by landslides during the monsoon (July to September) and by snow in winter, so travel timings and the itinerary may change for safety. Chopta is at about 2,600 metres, Chandrashila reaches about 4,000 metres and Deoria Tal sits at about 2,400 metres, so carry warm layers, a waterproof jacket, sturdy trekking shoes, a torch, sunscreen and any personal medicines. Mobile networks and ATMs are limited in Chopta and Sari, so carry enough cash. The Tungnath and Chandrashila trek is moderate, the Deoria Tal trail is easier, and guests with knee, breathing or heart concerns should check with a doctor before booking. Camps and hotels in Chopta are basic, and electricity and hot water may be limited. Camping and entry rules at Deoria Tal are set by the forest department and may change. Cancellation terms, the payment schedule and the final inclusions will be shared in writing with your confirmed quotation.
