The twin destinations of Auli and Chopta represent the finest alpine wilderness of Uttarakhand. Situated in the Chamoli and Rudraprayag districts, this region offers dramatic contrast: Auli is India’s premier ski resort with groomed snow slopes and wide views of Nanda Devi and Trishul, while Chopta is an unspoiled meadow surrounded by dense forests of deodar, pine, and rhododendron, serving as the base for the Tungnath-Chandrashila trek.
The trek from Chopta to Tungnath spans 3.5 km along a well-laid cobblestone mountain trail, climbing from 2,680m to 3,680m. Tungnath is the highest Shiva temple on earth and the third of the sacred Panch Kedar shrines. Continuing 1.5 km further uphill brings trekkers to the dramatic Chandrashila summit at 4,000m (13,123 ft), where you are rewarded with an astonishing 360-degree Himalayan amphitheater showcasing over 40 distinct snow-clad peaks, including Nanda Devi, Chaukhamba, Bandarpunch, Kedar Dome, and Kedarnath.
Reaching Auli from Joshimath via the 4.2 km aerial ropeway is an unforgettable experience. The cable car ascends through 10 towers over dense oak forests, offering panoramic bird’s-eye views of the Alaknanda gorge. In winter, Auli features an artificial lake built by the French government to generate snow, ski lifts, chair cars, and slopes suitable for both absolute beginners and professional winter athletes.
Just 22 km before Chopta lies Sari village, the trailhead for the mesmerizing Deoriatal trek (2.5 km, 1.5 hours). At 2,438 meters, Deoriatal is an ancient glacial lake that reflects the gigantic multi-crested Chaukhamba massifs in its crystal-clear emerald waters. According to the Mahabharata, this was the mystical lake where the Yaksha tested Yudhishthira with riddle questions. It is a world-class spot for birdwatching and camping under starry skies.
Chopta and Auli offer two dramatically distinct seasons: Spring (March to May) features mild sunny weather, lush green bugyals, and fiery crimson rhododendron (Buransh) blossoms across the valley. Winter (December to March) covers the entire landscape under 3 to 6 feet of snow, creating world-class skiing slopes in Auli and thrilling snow camping in Chopta.
Because Chopta falls within the eco-sensitive Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, strict conservation rules apply. Pitching tents on the open bugyal meadows of Chopta is regulated by the Forest Department to protect delicate alpine flora. Kanishka Travel partners with authorized eco-campsites located on private and GMVN land that provide insulated alpine tents, solar lighting, proper eco-toilets, and Leave-No-Trace waste management.
During the monsoon window (July to September), Auli and Joshimath serve as the starting hub for the UNESCO World Heritage Valley of Flowers and the revered Sikh shrine of Sri Hemkund Sahib (4,632m). Over 500 species of exotic wild alpine blossoms—including the elusive Blue Poppy and Brahma Kamal—carpet the valley in a vibrant kaleidoscopic spectacle.
Traveling from Rishikesh / Haridwar to Chopta or Joshimath involves a 200 to 250 km mountain drive along the scenic Badrinath Highway (NH-7), passing Devprayag, Srinagar, Rudraprayag, and Karnaprayag. We recommend robust vehicles such as Innova Crysta, Mahindra Scorpio, or 4x4 cabs for winter months when frost and ice cover high passes near Mandal and Duggalbitta.
Kanishka Travel provides custom private adventure packages tailored to your schedule: 3-Day Express Chopta-Tungnath tours, 5-Day Auli-Chopta combinations, and comprehensive 7-Day Garhwal circuits including Rishikesh and Haridwar. Every package includes certified local trek guides, sanitized mountain vehicles, heated room accommodations, and hearty meals.
