The trek, in the Chopta Valley, is set to walk one through picturesque villages, forests, ‘Bugyals’ (meadows) to highlight serene locales like ‘Deoriyatal’, ‘Tungnath’& ‘Chandrashila’. The valley is home to thick Rhododendron forests, the rare ‘Kastoori Hiran’ (musk deer) & the beautiful ‘Monal’ (pheasant) along with a variety of other wildlife.
A lake, Deoriyatal faces a snow clad range with some prominent peaks like the ‘KedarDome’ (6970m), ‘Mahalaya’ (5970m), ‘Mandani Parbat’ (6190m) and the mighty ‘Chaukhambha’ (7140m).
While Tungnath is considered as the Pinnacle of the ‘Panch Kedar’, the Chandrashila Peak at 4060m is indeed the pinnacle of this trek.
