[QUOTE="ajaysengar, post: 774, member: 1029"] Tungnath at [B]3,680 metres[/B] is the highest Shiva temple in the world and one of the sacred [B]Panch Kedar[/B] sites. According to mythology, Lord Shiva's arms appeared here when the Pandavas sought his blessings after the Kurukshetra war — making it one of the most spiritually significant Himalayan destinations in India. Top activities at Tungnath: [LIST] [*]Temple darshan and Panch Kedar pilgrimage [*]3.5 km trek from Chopta through dense rhododendron forests [*]Chandrashila summit climb at 4,130 metres for 360° Himalayan views [*]Sunrise photography over Nanda Devi, Trishul and Kedarnath peaks [*]Stargazing and camping at Chopta meadows [/LIST] Easiest way to reach from Delhi: Delhi → Haridwar → Devprayag → Rudraprayag → Ukhimath → Chopta. The most comfortable option for a group is booking a tempo traveller on rent in Delhi depart overnight, drive through the sacred Alaknanda valley, and arrive at Chopta fresh by morning. No train changes, no shared cab confusion, no luggage limits. We used a Force Urbania van for our grandparents — it comfortably carried all our trekking gear and cut per-head travel costs significantly. Heaven is a myth; Tungnath at 3,680 metres is gloriously, spiritually real. [/QUOTE]
