Trek through lush alpine meadows to Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world at 3,680 m, and continue to Chandrashila summit at nearly 4,000 m. From the top, enjoy breathtaking views of Nanda Devi, Trishul, Chaukhamba and Kedarnath peaks. A perfect blend of adventure, spirituality and Himalayan beauty.
