Himalayan Serenity: Why Lake Haven Resort is Your Perfect Base for Chopta

Himalayan Serenity: Why Lake Haven Resort is Your Perfect Base for Chopta Nestled in the quaint, emerald village of Sari, Lake Haven Resort (LHR) isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s where your Himalayan adventure truly begins. Surrounded by oak forests and the whispers of the mountains, our resort offers a front-row seat to the majesty of the Garhwal Himalayas. 1. The Gateway to Deoria Tal LHR is located just a stone's throw away from the starting point of the Deoria Tal trek. A short 2.5 km hike from our doorstep leads you to the "Reflection Lake," where the mighty Chaukhamba peaks dance on the crystal-clear water. Pro Tip: Wake up at 5:00 AM at the resort, grab a hot cup of tea, and start your trek to catch the sunrise at the lake. It’s a sight you’ll never forget. 2. Reach the Sky: Tungnath & Chandrashila Chopta, often called the "Mini Switzerland of India," is just a short, scenic drive from Sari. From there, you can embark on the legendary trek to: Tungnath: The highest Shiva temple in the world (3,680m). Chandrashila Summit: Another 1.5 km above Tungnath, offering a 360-degree panorama of Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Kedar Dome. 3. Local Soul, Global Flavors After a day of trekking, come home to Humari Rasoi. We believe that mountain air deserves mountain food. Whether you want a traditional Garhwali Thali made with organic local grains or your favorite Indo-Chinese comfort food, our chefs bring "The Best of Both Worlds" to your table. 4.
