Tour Overview
Who doesn’t want to be at the top of the world? The Chandrashila Mountain peak can make this happen for you. Chandrashila treks are one of the most popular treks among Indian trekking enthusiasts. The trek to the peak is 5 km. The trek route that starts from Chopta takes one to Tungnath. Well, it’s not the highest peak but a moderate trek via Tungnath to Chandrashila is worth it.
