between wilderness and tourist masses in Uttarakand
I spent some nice Days with Rishabh as my guide on the Deoria Chopta Trek. Transport: We met at Dehradun ISBT and went to Ukhimat by bus and then took a jeep to Sari village. The Road up there is prety scenic and has some worth stopovers, but is also kind of rugh at some points. If you prefer a minimum of comfort, i suggest going for a shared taxi, as the drivers take more care of the vehicle and slow down when there are bumps in the road and its just 10-20% more for the ticket. The Trek: From Sari village we hiked trough Deoria Tal to Chopta. A nice scenic trek with lots of animals and plants to discover. In total it was 19 km for this first day. In Chopta are several camps with big tents and central kitchen, so was ours. As Chandrasilla is the highest Shiva Tempel in the world, the trek from Chopta on is prepared and solid and pretty crowded. Original plan was to take the same way up and down, but to make it more interesting, i asked for an alternative way down. The alternative way down is much quieter and from landscape perpective morr interesting. I highly recommend to do it that way :) I also liked the old road to chopta which i would also recommend to intecrate into the trek. It is more interessting then walking allong the main road :) The Guide: Rishabh is a very pleasant, experienced guide and an honest, sincere person. If you want, he can tell you a lot about the local flora and fauna. Next time I plan a trek in India I will consult him again :) 5 out of 5 The Food: Breakfast and on trek food was basically chocolate bars and cookies, which was to sweet for my taste. Some poridge for breakfadt and some fruits and nuts would be nice and privide some slower carbs and other nutritions. When cooking next to the river we had some maggie noodles which was ok as in the evening at the campsites there was always fresh cooked food. If requested, also less or non spicy food was provided. The accomodation: We slept in simple guesthouses or in big tents with beds and a wash room inside. I suggest bringing some toiletpaper or an extra towel as in mid november your ass can get freaking cold after the ass shower on the toilet ;) Communication: Could be improved :) My guide did not know that i wanted a four day trip and had a three day trip in mind. When we met initialy at the bus station in Dehradun i was asked if it is ok if a friend/cousin of my guide joins us while he was already standing next to us with his packed backpack. It was fine for me and i appreciated his company on trek, but i recommend to communicate such things at least one day in advance :)
Response from the operator: Dear! Guest, Thank you so much! for your excellent review. its our great pleasure, we look forward to hosting you on some others Himalayan treks.

This trek can be categorized as medium-difficult. Do not bring children as sometimes altitude sickness and low oxygen can be an issue. The last leg of 2 km between Tungnath temple and Chandrashila Peak is highly steep and difficult so would recommend carrying trekking equipment all the way long. Also, do wear good hiking boots as you may find snow and icicles at the top.
Response from the operator: Dear! Guest, Thank you so much! for your excellent review. its our great pleasure, we look forward to hosting you on some others Himalayan treks.

Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rishikesh.
How much does Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rishikesh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rishikesh is not rushed.
Is Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rishikesh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rishikesh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rishikesh and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rishikesh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rishikesh?
+
On Outty we rank every Rishikesh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Rafting in Rishikesh - 26 Km., Har Ki dun Trek by Himalaya Shelter, Camping in Rishikesh - 1N 2D. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rishikesh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rishikesh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Chandrashila and Tungnath Himalayan Trekking and Camping?

Not included: All Insurance and claims due to natural calamity such as landslide/Road blockage; Personal Expenses/Stay and food in Mussoorie/Food during Transit; and Transportation can be arranged on request at an additional charge.

+
