Tungnath: Tungnath, the highest of the five Kedars, is a majestic temple with an aura that soothes the eyes and the soul. Tungnath is an important Hindu pilgrimage site that is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is where his hands are worshipped, situated at an altitude of 3680 m and on the Chandranath mountain. It is assumed that the shrine is more than 1000 years old and Adi Shankaracharya is estimated to have found it. Located in the Rudraprayag District of the Garhwal Area of Uttarakhand, this holy temple is about 4 km from the beautiful Chopta meadow.


Kedarnath Dham: One of the most popular places for worshipers of Shiva is Kedarnath Dham, situated in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. Amid the mighty snow-clad peaks, enchanting meadows and forests of the lower mountain range of the Himalayas, the air seems to reverberate with the name of Lord Shiva. Kedarnath Dham celebrates the greatness of Lord Shiva in a breathtaking location, close to the source of the Mandakini River and at an altitude of 3,584 metres. It is also one of the important temples of Uttarakhand 's holy Chota Char Dham Yatra, bringing the glory of the place to further heights.

Revel in the radiant atmosphere of this Ukhimath spiritual travel destination, located in the Uttarakhand district of Rudraprayag. This small village at an altitude of 1311 m is best known as one of the famous Hindu pilgrimage sites for the reason that it is the home of Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar idols in the winters, festooned with majestic nature and spiritual aura.

Chopta places to visit

Ukhimath: The highlights of this must be visited place in Uttarakhand is that after the festival of Diwali, the deities from Kedarnath are brought here; and from Madhyamaheshwar in November, that they are taken back to their original places by the end of May. The idols are adored in Omkareshwar Temple, one of the oldest and most thoughtfully sculpted shrines in India, as the celebration of Utsav Doli begins. It is said that the wedding of Anirudh (the grandson of Lord Krishna) and Usha (the daughter of Banasur) took place here, according to Hindu mythology. This one of a kind tourist destination, therefore, got its name from Usha and was formerly known as Ushamath, which later changed to Ukhimath.

TUNGNATH TEMPLE: Situated at an altitude of 3680 m, Tungnath is Lord Shiva 's highest temple in India. Tungnath is one of the Kedars of the Panch and is the temple where the arm of Shiva is worshipped. It is assumed that the shrine is more than 1000 years old and Adi Shankaracharya is estimated to have found it. Located in the Rudraprayag District of the Garhwal Area of Uttarakhand, this holy temple is about 4 km from the beautiful Chopta meadow. Tungnath can also be reached only by trekking, and the trail is quite a simple one, like many high altitude temples in Uttarakhand,

However, as it crosses the temple towards Chandrashila Peak, i.e. the top of the mountain, it begins to become rough. The views from here are satisfying enough to make up for the arduous trek, however. And even though the temple closes in the winter season, the trekking trail remains open to adventure lovers throughout the year.
