Deoria Tal Lake – The Mirror of Chaukhamba

Deoria Tal is a stunning high-altitude lake located around 3 km uphill from Sari Village and Lake Haven Resort. Perched at an elevation of 2,438 meters, the lake is surrounded by dense forests and offers refreshing views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks. On a clear day, you can witness the majestic reflection of Chaukhamba peak shimmering on the crystal-clear waters – a truly awe-inspiring sight for trekkers and nature lovers.

Chopta – Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand

Chopta is a charming and lesser-known hamlet, often referred to as the Mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand. Wake up to the cool mountain breeze and the melodious chirping of birds. The morning view in Chopta is mesmerizing as the crimson sun rays touch the snow-laden peaks. Surrounded by pine, deodar, rhododendron, and other coniferous trees, Chopta is rich in both flora and fauna, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers, photographers, and trekkers alike.

Tungnath Temple – The Highest Shiva Temple in the World

Among India’s many temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, Tungnath Temple holds a special place. Located in the Garhwal Himalayas, it is one of the sacred Panch Kedar temples and is believed to be over 1,000 years old. Legend says it was discovered by Adi Shankaracharya. At an altitude of 3,680 meters, it is recognized as the highest Shiva temple in the world and a must-visit on the Chopta trek route.

Chandrashila Peak – The Moon Rock Summit

Just above Tungnath lies the summit of Chandrashila, meaning “Moon Rock”. This vantage point offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views of the Himalayan range. From the top, you can see majestic peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul, Kedarnath, Bandarpunch, and Chaukhamba. According to local legends, Lord Rama meditated here after defeating Ravana, making it not only a scenic but also a spiritually significant spot.

    Visit Omkareshwar Temple – Seek Blessings of Kedarnath & Madhyamaheshwar

    Since we now consider you a part of our extended family, our local guide will personally accompany you to visit the sacred Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath.

    The Omkareshwar Mandir is one of the most important winter abodes of Lord Kedarnath and Lord Madhyamaheshwar. During the winter months, when the high-altitude temples are inaccessible due to snow, the Utsav Dolis (ceremonial idols) of both deities are brought to this temple for worship.

    Visiting Omkareshwar Temple offers a deeply spiritual experience and the chance to receive blessings from two of the Panch Kedar shrines in one place. It is believed that darshan at this temple brings peace, protection, and divine grace to devotees.

    Don't miss the opportunity to connect with the ancient traditions of Uttarakhand and immerse yourself in the serene spiritual ambiance of this holy site. Whether you are on a trekking adventure or a spiritual journey, this visit will add meaning and tranquility to your travel experience.
