High in Uttarakhand’s Garhwal Himalayas, stands the highest Shiva temple in the world — where faith meets the sky.
In the silence of the mountains, clouds float at your feet, and the air carries whispers of peace. Tungnath feels like heaven made real.
Legend says Lord Shiva appeared here after the Mahabharata war. His arms are believed to have emerged from this very mountain. Tungnath — one of the sacred Panch Kedar temples.
A 3.5 km trail that whispers peace and magic with every turn.
You walk through clouds and quiet forests — where silence feels alive.
Just 1.5 km above Tungnath lies Chandrashila Peak. From here, Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Kedarnath stand before you — golden and endless.
Summer (Apr–Jun): Clear skies & blooming trails.

Chopta, just below Tungnath, offers cozy stays — homestays, mountain camps, and starlit skies. Wake up to the sound of temple bells and mountain winds.
Warm Garhwali food, wood-fired kitchens, and local smiles — every meal feels like home.
Start trek early morning.
Carry warm clothes.
Avoid plastic, respect the temple.
Keep the trail clean and quiet
Here, clouds move like prayers. The silence speaks louder than words. You don’t just see divinity — you feel it.
Even if you’re not religious, Tungnath calms your heart. The mountains themselves feel sacred — as if nature is the temple.
