3 Days / 2 Nights · Ex-Dehradun · Starting ₹6,499 per person
This is Desh Darshini's first commercial trip and our most-requested weekend trek — a short, high-reward route to the highest Shiva temple in the world and a summit with a genuine 360° Himalayan panorama, without needing a week off work.
We keep groups small, build in a rest evening at Chopta before the summit push, and treat Deoriatal as an optional detour rather than a forced add-on, so the core trip stays comfortable for first-time trekkers.
Depart Dehradun early morning by shared vehicle via Rishikesh–Rudraprayag–Ukhimath. Scenic drive along the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers. Arrive Chopta by evening, check into base camp, dinner and briefing around a bonfire.
Early start for the trek to Tungnath temple (3.5km), continuing to Chandrashila summit (another 1.5km) for sunrise views of the Garhwal Himalayan range. Descend back to Chopta by early afternoon, rest, optional short village walk in the evening.
Breakfast and check-out, drive back to Dehradun with a stop en route, arriving by evening. Trip concludes on drop-off at the designated pickup point.
Dehradun → Rishikesh → Rudraprayag → Ukhimath → Chopta (~210km) → Tungnath (3.5km trek) → Chandrashila (+1.5km trek)
Basic tented or guesthouse stay at Chopta on twin/triple sharing — clean and comfortable, not luxury. Attached washrooms are not guaranteed at this altitude; shared facilities are common.
Simple vegetarian meals (breakfast, packed lunch on trek day, dinner) cooked fresh at the base camp. We can accommodate basic dietary preferences if flagged in advance.
Shared SUV/Tempo Traveller depending on group size, from a fixed Dehradun pickup point (shared on booking confirmation) back to the same point.
You should be able to walk 5km continuously without major difficulty. 3–4 weeks of brisk walking, stair climbing or light jogging before the trip is enough preparation for most fit beginners.
Full refund if cancelled 15+ days before departure, 50% refund 7–14 days before, no refund within 7 days of departure. Dates can be rescheduled once, subject to availability. See our full Cancellation Policy.
Yes, solo travellers are common on this trip and are grouped into shared rooms/tents with fellow trekkers of the same gender.
No — Deoriatal is offered as an optional add-on so the core itinerary stays relaxed. Ask us on WhatsApp if you'd like to include it.
Your trek lead makes the final call on safety. If Chandrashila isn't advisable, we trek to Tungnath temple and adjust the plan on ground — your safety comes first, not the itinerary.
"Well organised for a first-of-its-kind trip — the guide knew the trail and the pace suited everyone in the group."
