Enjoy evening tea with snacks followed by dinner. You can stroll around, do team building activities along with your group or just relax for the next day trek. 

Start early in the morning for Chopta Tungnath and Chandrashila trek after breakfast. 

This entire region comes under Kedarnath Musk Deer Sanctuary so there are chances that you might spot wildlife in the morning including Wild Goat and Himalayan Monal. The trail from Chopta to Tungnath temple is broad and well maintained. During today’s trek, you will be gaining altitude in the very short distance and thus the climb is all uphill.

Tungnath: During the final stretch to reach Tungnath you will reach a rocky cliff on the right which is known as Raavan Shila. Continue walking towards Tungnath Temple. Magnificent in its style and architecture, Tungnath is considered more than 1000 years old. The main temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and other small rock temples in the vicinity are dedicated to Goddess Parvati. The temple remains closed during winter.

Chandrashila: Another 1.5 km steep hike from Tungnath temple will lead you to Chandrashila Summit. The trail becomes narrow as we climb up the meadows of Chandrashila Peak. Chandrashila is the summit of the mountain on which Tungnath temple is situated. A beautiful small temple is situated on the summit along with several unique cairn structures. Chandrashila is perched at an elevation of 4,000 mts above sea level offering splendid views of the majestic Himalayan peaks including Kedar Dome, Chaukhamba, Nanda Devi, Trishul, Nanda Ghunti, Kamet, Gangotri Ranges & more.

Night stay in chopta hotel.

After breakfast, drive 4 hrs to reach Devprayag. Our Rafting guide will meet you there, after a comprehensive safety briefing and packing the bags on the raft, we head out on the water.. 

An easy day with small rapids. Great day to relax, soak in the sun, body surf and bird-watching. Raft time is approximately 35 kms to Kaudiyala. Set up camp for the night on a beach at Kaudiyala or at some forest camp (whichever will be available at that time).

After breakfast, we will start our rafting expedition from Kaudiyala. Raft down adrenaline pumping rapids like 'Daniel's Dip', 'The Wall', 'Three Blind Mice', 'Crossfire', 'Bodysurfing', 'Return to Sender', 'Roller Coaster', 'Golf Course', and lots of smaller ones too. 

We stop to have lunch and then continue to encounter the big rapids on the River Ganga. 

We will end the trip just before the famous Laxman Jhula (NIM Beach) in Rishikesh. 

You can now either stay in Rishikesh or drive back to your destination. Our services will end at Rishikesh after Rafting in Rishikesh.
