About Kedarnath, Guptkashi & Chopta–Tungnath Trail:
This spiritually enriching journey through Uttarakhand beautifully blends mythology, nature, and high-altitude adventure. The pilgrimage begins at Gaurikund, where devotees encounter the fascinating natural phenomenon of sacred hot and cold water springs, believed to possess both scientific and spiritual significance. The trail then leads to the revered Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and believed to have been established by the Pandavas after the Mahabharata as an act of penance for their wrongdoings.
The journey continues to the serene Guptkashi Temple, where Lord Shiva is said to have concealed himself when the Pandavas sought forgiveness, making it an important spiritual stop. Moving further into the Himalayas, travelers reach Chopta, fondly known as the “Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand.” Situated at an altitude of around 13,000 feet, Chopta offers breathtaking panoramic views of majestic peaks such as Nanda Devi, Trishul, Kedar Peak, Bandarpunch, and Chaukhamba.
The experience is completed with a visit to the sacred Tungnath Temple, one of the highest Shiva temples in the world, accessible via a scenic trek. Surrounded by alpine meadows and towering Himalayan peaks, this journey offers a perfect balance of spiritual awakening, natural beauty, and trekking adventure, making it a truly unforgettable Himalayan experience.
