Overview & Highlights

2N Chopta

Overview & Highlights:

Celebrate Christmas and New Year amid Chopta’s Himalayan landscapes.

Trek to Tungnath Temple and attempt the Chandrashila summit.

Spend two nights camping in Swiss camps surrounded by mountain scenery.

Visit Deoria Tal for reflections of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.

Swap city celebrations for winter trails, campsite stays, and group adventures

Some mountain views are worth earning, and the summit of Tungnath and Chandrashila is one of them. Now imagine planning that adventure around Christmas or New Year, with two nights in Swiss camps and a group of fellow travellers to share the experience. This 3-day Chopta Tungnath Christmas & New Year Trek is for those who'd rather finish the year with a trail to conquer and a mountain memory to take home.

Chopta's appeal goes beyond the summit. The Chopta Tungnath trek in winter takes you through forest trails surrounded by snow-capped mountains, with the landscape changing as you gain altitude. On clear days, the reward is a sweeping Himalayan panorama. The Chandrashila summit attempt depends on weather and trail safety, especially in winter.

The adventure continues with Deoria Tal, where a forest trail from Sari Village leads to a lake known for reflecting the Chaukhamba peaks on clear days. Two nights in Swiss camps give you a chance to settle into mountain life, share stories with your group, and wake up surrounded by the Garhwal Himalayas.

Whether you're ticking Tungnath Chandrashila trek off your bucket list or looking for a Christmas New Year trip to Chopta that combines a proper trek with camping, this getaway offers a memorable way to close the year. Snowfall and summit access aren't guaranteed, so come prepared for winter conditions and a little flexibility in the plan.
