The Chopta Valley Trek - 09th to 15th Oct 2010
Overview
The trek, in Chopta Valley, is set to walk one through picturesque villages, forests, ‘Bugyals’ (meadows) to highlight serene locales like ‘Deoriya Tal’, ‘Tungnath’ & ‘Chandrashila’. The Chopta valley is home to thick Rhododendron forests, ‘Bugyals’ (meadows), the rare ‘Kastoori Hiran’ (musk deer) & the beautiful ‘Monal’ (pheasant) along with a variety of other wildlife.
While Tungnath is considered as the Pinnacle of ‘Paanch Kedar’, Chandrashila at 3640m is indeed the pinnacle of this trek.
A lake Deoriya Tal faces a snow clad range with some prominent peaks like ‘Kedar Dome’ (6970m), ‘Mahalaya’ (5970m), ‘Mandani Parbat’ (6190m) and the mighty ‘Chaukhambha’ (7138m).
