Chopta Chandrashila Trek is known as one of the most moderate treks in the Himalayan region and this trek can be made anytime throughout the year as per your suitable time and it's considered as short getaway amid the Himalayan range with nothing around you. So if you are thinking to take the enjoyment of Chopta Chandrashila Trek just call us and book your most enjoyable & memorable Trek.
1. If you are looking for a short getaway amid the Himalayan range, with no
civilization around you, the Chandrashila Peak Trek is the most ideal trek for you. Set in
the Garhwal Himalayas, the trek is in a protected area which means there is minimal
civilization and lots and lots of flora and fauna to explore. In the first leg of the trek we
hike up to Deoriatal. This is a beautiful lake at an altitude of 2438 m and has captivating
surroundings with forests all around. The Chaukhamba peak feels like it is an arm’s
length away and the reflection of the mighty peak in the crystal clear waters of the lake
creates a beautiful effect. The story associated with this scenic place is that when the
Pandavas were in exile and were hiding from the Kaurava king, Duryodhan, they
stopped nearby for a rest. When their mother Kunti felt thirsty, one by one four of her
sons went to fetch water from this lake but died, as they could not answer the question
put forth to them by the Yaksha Devta who resided here. When the eldest son's
Yudishtra's turn came, he answered all questions correctly and with the result the dead
brothers also came back to life. Here we will camp by the lakeside and enjoy the star
spangled sky in the night.
