I was speechless the Day 01 when we visited Deoriatal, the night sky was so peaceful and full of stars. Second day went as good as the first with the visit to the colorful Shiva temple. Must visit for everyone.

I went in the month of May with my friends and we all had so much fun. Camping on the meadows of Deoriatal was the best part.

On the Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila Trek via Deoria Tal trek, you will be required to show up at Haridwar Railway Station but that's not where the trek begins. You will be driven to Kund from the railway station and that drive is fantastic! Basically, the beauty begins even before trek starts. It's pretty great how scenic the whole trek will be from there on. The Chalkot campsite, I loved it!! I loved all moments spent on this trek. Thanks, Adventure Nation for having us on board. I will share some pictures with you on your Facebook, soon!

First day on the Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila trek was spent in the natural pools of water at Kakragad and from there we went straight to Makkumath. After spending a while here, we were driven to Chalkot and we stayed there overnight. Overnight stay was in tents and sleeping bags were provided. Food arrangement was satisfactory. The next day, once we arrived in Sari, we had to trek to Deorital Lake and it was the most beautiful sighting of Chaukhamba reflecting in the waters of Deorital. After that, we trekked to Rohini Bugyal and then to Tali. Again, we were driven from here back to Chalkot campsite. The next day we visited Tungnath temple and Chandrashila peak. Once you reach the summit, you will get to look at all the famed peaks--Trishul, Nanda and Chaukhambha. This will mark the end of your trek. I felt like the itinerary was great and the guides available were helpful and did well. All my fellow trek mates and I had a good time. Thanks for this.

Chopta Chandrashila Trek via Deorital is a fairytale. The panoramic views of Chaukhambha, Nanda Devi, Trishul is definitely something to inspire the wildest in you. Booked this through Adventure Nation in May 2017. Had the time of my life! And made some great friends on this trek. If you like to go on treks because you like to connect with nature and have some fun and get away with the busy lifestyle in city buildings, this one is a perfect refreshment and will leave you feeling so energized and at peace with yourself. The lake is spectacular-looking and the whole trek is very convenient for people of all ages. So you can bring your family as well and have a gala time. Thanks for letting me have so much fun! Look forward to coming back here.

Tungnath is another level of experience. It is divine and holy, and the trek is beautiful. Loaded with picturesque scenery all the way! And as if that's not enough the view of all the important peaks- Panchkuli, Nanda Devi, Kedarnath is spellbinding! It is absolutely amazing. The views at Chopta will literally give you a unique sense of happiness! Thanks a lot or this experience! Loved it!

Everything you have heard about the Tungnath temple is true. It is so beautiful. Thanks to Adventure Nation, I had the opportunity to go visit it myself in the summers with my husband. The views are mesmerizing from Chandrashila. It was the last stop of out trek, so to say. And I absolutely did not want to come back from that heaven. It was amazing! The views of all the peaks in the smoky skies is so so awesome! Thanks a lot!
Arham Jindal -
This trek starts in Haridwar so be sure of how you are going to reach there. Had fun on this. Very short and simple trek. Loved it. Great places to be if you are looking for just a long weekend thing. Beautiful and quieter than any other place nearby. Definitely liked this little trip. Thanks for arranging it nicely, Adventure Nation.

Tungnath is a beautiful Shiva temple. Just in love with the whole vibe! Had the most amazing 4-5 days! How wonderful the whole place looks. You get to trek alongside Deorital which is amazing. You will get to see some really famous peaks here including Nanda Devi and Chaukhambha and many more. All the best! Thanks for this
