Why Visit Chopta Hill Station?
Beautifully garnered amidst the quintessential velvety meadows, Chopta serves as the base for trekking to Tungnath and Chandrashilla, the third holiest temple among the (Five) Panch Kedars. This unspoiled destination is snuggled in the lap of the Himalayas, offering an unobstructed view of Trishul, Nanda Devi and Chaukhamba peaks.
Chopta has become the hotspot for the solitude seekers, the avid trekkers, and the nature lovers as it is blessed with a scenic yet peaceful aura.
