Conquering the Abode of the Gods - A Tungnath Chandrashila Trek Itinerary with Wild Voyages
The Deoria Tal–Chandrashila Trek is a classic Himalayan trail that beautifully combines serenity, spirituality, and stunning mountain scenery. Known for its easy accessibility and breathtaking 360° views of the Garhwal Himalayas, this trek offers one of the most rewarding experiences for both beginners and seasoned trekkers.
Starting from the sacred town of Sari, the trail first leads to the crystal-clear Deoria Tal Lake, a mirror-like alpine lake surrounded by dense forests. On calm mornings, the lake reflects the snow-clad peaks of Chaukhamba, Neelkanth, Bandarpoonch, and Kedar Range— a sight that feels almost divine. From there, the trail ascends through beautiful rhododendron and oak forests, charming villages, and ridge walks that eventually lead to Tungnath, the world’s highest Shiva temple, before culminating at Chandrashila Peak (12,083 ft)— “The Moon Rock.”
From the summit, trekkers are rewarded with an unparalleled 360° panorama of Himalayan giants Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba, Kedar Dome, and Hathi-Ghoda Parvat bathed in golden sunlight. Few treks in India offer such an extraordinary view for such a short and accessible trail.
