Altitude: Chandrashilla top 3,700m/ 12,100 ft. Altitude: Tungnath 3450m/ 11,380ft. Altitude: Chopta 2,850m/ 9,400ft. Trek: 9km | 7hr (Both side).
Ideally it is advised to start your Tungnath/Chandrashila trek as early in morning as possible in Winter due to multiple reasons like black ice condition deteriorate as day progress, sunset early (around 5.30 pm) makes decent extremely dangerous and hard if there is dark, hard to find trek shoes suitable to your.
Chandrashila is the summit of Chandranath Parbat at a staggering height of 4,000 meters. There is no accommodation available at the peak here, also camping is not allowed as well.
The trek was worth the effort and we experienced light flurry snowfall and sub zero temperature. The view was not great from the summit as it was clouded but that does not matter :-) Since there was hardly much snowfall, we could climb upto chandrashilla else reaching tungnath itself is a tough job in 6-8 feet snow.
