The journey starts from Delhi. Time is of the essence in a trekking experience. Hence, we advise our travellers to assemble at Pick up Point . Chopta is 450 km away from Delhi and takes approximately 14 hours to reach. We make our way through Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Roorkee, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, Ukhimath before reaching Chopta the following day. The journey to Rishikesh is an overnight one, after that we buckle up for another 8 hours of a little strenuous yet stunning mountain drive! Most part of the journey traverses the mountainside, with the river flowing below you. (Don’t forget to take pictures at the confluence of Alaknanda and Bhagirathi rivers at Devprayag)

About 35 km after Rudraprayag, we take the road to Kedarnath. You will continue traveling on this road to arrive at Chopta via Agastyamuni (named after the famous saint Augustya and also a small market place for the vicinity villages) and Ukhimath (A tiny hamlet also known for being the winter seat of Kedarnath). The estimated arrival time is around lunch. Long journeys can be exhausting for some hence this fairly early arrival gives you time to relax and rejuvenate and for those not too tired from the journey it is a picturesque campsite, an eye candy for the shutterbugs. You can go around the campsite and explore the trails around. The forests around here appear like those straight out of a movie. Early to bed and early to rise is denitely what we prefer. We advise our travellers to get proper rest before we get up, close and personal with Chandrashila also known lovingly as the Moonpeak the following day.

As we gear up for the most enthralling day of the chopta Chandrashila trek we attempt to climb the summit which is one of the most captivating and unparalleled of any summits that you might have witnessed. (If the weather gods permit). The trek from Chopta to Tungnath is approximately 3.5 km in distance and a further ascend of 1.5 km steep ascend leads to the summit of Chandrashila. The trail till Tungnath from Chopta is a well paved cemented trail and further from Tungnath to Chandrashila, the trail becomes a little rickety. It normally takes around 3 hours to reach the Tunganth temple from Chopta and another 1 hour to reach the Chandrashila summit from the temple. Once at the top of the peak, you get a panoramic view of the mountains of Garhwal and Kumaon. The Chandrashila Peak is at an altitude of 4000 meters above sea level. After capturing some beautiful shots at the summit, the trek back to Chopta is via the same route taken while ascending. It takes approx. 30 minutes to reach Tungnath and another 60 -90 minutes to reach Chopta from Tungnath.

The day embarks from Sari which is a small and quaint village situated at a height of 6,601 feet. We depart from Chopta early morning at 8 am to reach the village post breakfast. The trek to Deoriatal is about 2.3 km. The trail is mildly steep and completely paved with stones. There are few shelters available on the trek where one can take a breather. Though the Deoriatal trek from Sari is easy, it can be a bit tiring for first-timers. The trail passes through the scenic forest of Rhododendron and Oak. After reaching the lake, you see a forest check post. The lake is gripped with forests all around. Trek down to Sari and start your return journey to Delhi with your heart and soul full. You would reach Delhi early morning the following day.

About Host

The Wander Wave is the brainchild of 3 avid travelers who love to scrape every unknown corner of the globe as far as human knowledge goes, with the vast expertise we accumulated throughout these wonderful years of traveling, we came across a few problems that every traveler has to face once across his/her traveling days. The first and the biggest is "Pricing" because as we know, the human mind is rational and always tries to get the best while spending the least possible. The second is "Itinerary and Support" as it is still possible to make up your mind about exploring the unknown but where is this "unknown" you are craving? Hence, we decided to start The Wander Wave to ensure that no traveler around the globe ever has to face the issues we faced and never has to worry about his pocket before heading out for a new adventure. The Wander Wave Support team consists of the best of both worlds making your travel pocket-friendly and comfortable, offering only the best of what the world has to offer. We make sure that your slightest of the issues and discomforts are not left unheard. It is almost like we do not sleep, just to make sure that you sleep peacefully while on the go. Why don't you try being a part of The Wander Wave Legacy and it will take you no time to realize that "The Globe is the limit".
