Deoria Tal – Chandrashila Description This Trip Is for the Traveler Who Cannot Get Enough of One Activity and Would Like to Tr Deoria Tal – Chandrashila Description This trip is for the traveler who cannot get enough of one activity and would like to try their hand at different activities which allows them to experience the Himalayas in a very different sort of way. During the trip, you get to Trek, Raft and Cycle through the spectacular Mandakini & Alaknanda valleys. The trek takes you to the Chopta, popularly referred to as the Mini-Switzerland of India because of its undulating green meadows (carpets of snow in winter!!) and a breathtaking view of the majestic Himalayan peaks against the backdrop of clear blue skies. This is a protected area and hence there are minimal signs of civilization around which only adds to the beauty of the place. From here one can trek up to the Tungnath temple which is at a distance of 2.5 kms from Chopta. As per mythology, it is believed that when Shiva went into the earth while escaping from the Pandavas, his arms reappeared at Tungnath. He is worshipped here as one of the Panch Kedars. At an altitude of 3680 m, this is the highest Shiva shrine in the world. All along the route, in addition to the abundant flora and fauna, one gets wonderful views of the Himalayan giants including Bandarpoonch, Kedar and Chaukhamba peaks. From Tungnath you can trek up a further 1 kms to the Chandrashilla peak. The 180 degrees view of the peaks and the valleys all around make this trek well worth it. Another interesting and beautiful trek is the one to the high altitude lake, Deoriatal. This is a beautiful lake at an altitude of 2438 m. and has captivating surroundings with forests all around. The Chaukhamba peak feels like it is an arm’s length away and the reflection of the mighty peak in the crystal clear waters of the lake creates a beautiful effect. The story associated with this scenic place is that when the Pandavas were in exile and were hiding from the Kaurava king Duryodhan, they stopped nearby for a rest. When their mother Kunti felt thirsty, one by one four of her sons went to fetch water from this lake but died, as they could not answer the question put forth to them by the Yaksha Devta who resided here. When the eldest son's Yudishtra's turn came, he answered all questions correctly and with the result the dead brothers also came back to life.
