Why Chopta is a Winter Paradise

While Chopta is stunning year-round, it takes on a new identity in the winter. From December to March, this quaint destination is draped in a pristine white sheet of snow. The meadows, forests, and trekking trails become a winter wonderland — untouched, peaceful, and soul-stirring.

Fewer tourists travel during the winter, which adds to the charm. This offbeat experience makes it the perfect time to book a Chopta tour package and enjoy the serenity of nature at its best.

Snowy Treks You Can’t Miss This Winter

1. Chopta Tungnath Trek

One of the main attractions in Chopta is the famous Chopta Tungnath trek. Tungnath is the highest Shiva temple in the world, located at an altitude of 3,680 meters. During winter, the trail leading to the temple is covered in snow, making it both a spiritual and adventurous journey.

The tungnath temple trek in winter is moderately easy but incredibly rewarding. Clear skies allow majestic views of Himalayan peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba.

If you’re starting from the capital, our Chopta Tungnath trek from Delhi packages ensure a comfortable and well-organized trip with transport, stays, meals, and guides all included.

2. Chopta Chandrashila Trek

Beyond Tungnath lies the spectacular Chandrashila Summit, which is another 1.5 km trek from the temple. The Chopta Chandrashila trek is slightly steeper but offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the snow-covered Himalayan ranges.

In winter, standing at the summit with snow all around and clouds beneath you is a moment you’ll never forget. If you’re seeking a blend of peace, power, and picturesque landscapes, the Chandrashila summit trek is a must.

Our Chopta Chandrashila trek from Delhi includes this iconic journey with the comfort of expert guides and hassle-free logistics.
