A 3-night mountain escape to one of Uttarakhand’s best kept secrets. Chopta sits at 2,680 metres surrounded by dense rhododendron forests with no crowds and no chaos. We trek up to Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world at 3,680 metres, with views of Nanda Devi, Trishul and Chaukhamba that stop you mid-sentence. Nights at a boutique forest homestay with a bonfire, local food, and the kind of silence you forgot existed.
