Chandrashila & Deoriatal trek is the Entrance into the Himalayas for beginners. For experienced trekkers this trek also gives great Goosebumps by splendid views. A well-loved trek for mountain goers of all kinds, this trek flourishes with blossoms, especially rhododendrons red and pink, in summer time while winters are a hazy shade with enough scopes to have a ball in spilling snow. The whole tour covers a swoop to the Chandrashila Peak, passing by the enchanting Deoriatal lake side, and opens up a gallery of stunning snow peaks all the way. Deoriatal is in itself a gorgeous trek. The forest trails and the summit climb are unmatched! If you add to this the soft snow, colorful rhododendrons and the numerous species of birds found here, you will never want to leave this piece of heaven! There are three things that are really stunning about the Deoriatal-Chandrashila peak trek. From the summit point of Chandrashila you can see Mt.Chaukhmba, Mt. Neelkanth, Mt. Bhagirathi from the one side and on the other side you can see Mt. Nandadevi, Mt. Maiktoli, Mt.Trishul. India’s highest summit Mt. Nandadevi you can see of Chandrashila peak. It’s not just summit point but you can get closeup of every peak. You could be a nature treasurer, bird watching amateur, or a shutterbug with a dream of capturing the drama in the highlands; Chopta -Chandrashila-Deorital is a trek for all and fails none.
The first big stop on the trek comes with Deoriatal. Situated at a good height of 7, 800 feet, the lake is gripped with forests all around. At a short distance ahead, the Chaukhamba massif glistens and the reflection of it is caught in the crystal-like waters of the lake. The effect is striking. The site is steeped in myths. As goes the story, the five pandava brothers from the Mahabharata, once thirsty, had come to the waters of Deoriatal and faced a test of wisdom. Next up on the line of visual ecstasies are the extensive meadows that turn to snow fields along the way to Chopta. As one furthers up the trail, great peaks jump to view – Bandarppoonch, Kedar, and Chaukhamba to name a few. These stellar features of Garhwal Himalayas promise to get more elucidated from the zenith of Chandrashila, so the motivation is never lost and one goes on until the end of the summit stretch at the Tunganath temple.
