Hi All

I am now posting some pics from a trip I did way back in 2005. I did Ukimath-Chopta-Tunganath.

Prashant nice photographs there, how was the trek to Tugnath, I have been thinking of doing it.

Thanx Yogesh


Trek to Tunganath was pretty moderate, the way is pretty fine too. In fact it was my first ever trek but wot turned out to be more tiring to me was the Ukimath-Deoriya Tal trek which I did a day earlier to the Tunganath trek. In comparison to Deoriya Tal the Tunganath trek felt relatively easier.

"Easier", just the thing I wanted to hear

Yea yea it was "easier".

You should definitely try it out. Only thing that tires u out in that trek is the amount of height u gain in few kms, i dont exactly remember but its around 3000-3500 feet in about 4 Kms.

i think... as far as the facilities and the path is concerned, trek to Tungnath(more than 3000 mts) and then Chandrashila (4000 mts) is easy one.....

you find 3-4 dhabas (yogesh - dhabas like Bagotu and satrundi ones ) within 4kms and then cozy dhabas at Tungnath to stay with a temple's dharmshala.

yes the climb is steep, but....
In reward you see meadows all the way to Tungnath.
Panoramic views from Chandrashila are breathtaking.



P.S. - BTW Yogesh, the day i started my journey for Tungnath was 15 aug... (2006)
