Chopta Chandrashila Tungnath Trek with Deoriatal Details

Day 1: Departure from Delhi (ITO – 9:00 PM) | Overnight Drive to Chopta (2900 m)

Assemble at ITO, Delhi, by 9:00 PM and begin your overnight journey to Chopta in a comfortable tempo traveller. The drive takes you through scenic routes via Rishikesh, Devprayag, and the winding roads of the Garhwal Himalayas. Catch glimpses of river confluences and forested valleys as you ascend toward your basecamp.

Day 2: Arrival at Chopta (2900 m) via Rishikesh & Devprayag

Reach the quaint village of Chopta, nestled at an altitude of 2,900 meters, by early afternoon. After check-in and a hearty meal, spend the rest of the day acclimatizing and exploring the beautiful meadows and forests around. Chopta offers stunning views of the Himalayan range and is often covered with snow during winter and lush greenery in summer. Dinner and overnight stay in camps or guesthouse.

Day 3: Sunrise Trek to Tungnath (3680 m) & Chandrashila (4000 m) | Return to Chopta & Drive to Sari (2000 m)

Wake up early to witness a mesmerizing sunrise as you begin your trek to Tungnath Temple, around 3.5 km from Chopta. Continue further 1.5 km to reach the Chandrashila summit (4,000 m). The view from the top is unforgettable—panoramic vistas of Nanda Devi, Kedar Dome, Chaukhamba, and more.
After spending some peaceful moments at the summit, descend back to Chopta, have lunch, and then proceed with a short drive to Sari village. Rest and recharge in your homestay or guesthouse.

Day 4: Early Morning Trek to Deoriatal (2450 m) | Return Drive to Delhi

Start early with a short and pleasant trek to Deoriatal, a magical high-altitude lake surrounded by lush forests. If the skies are clear, you’ll see a breathtaking reflection of Chaukhamba Peak in the lake’s still waters. After enjoying the peaceful surroundings, return to Sari for breakfast.

Measures Taken by Parvat Exploration to Ensure the Security of Trekkers

At Parvat Exploration, trekking isn’t just an adventure – it’s a transformative journey into the heart of the Himalayas. But with every adventure comes the responsibility of ensuring your well-being. Backed by a highly qualified team, local expertise, and global safety standards, we take every measure possible to prioritize your safety.

🧗‍♂️ Fitness Evaluation & Trek Readiness

High-altitude treks demand physical endurance and mental resilience. Before confirming your participation in any of our treks, we assess your fitness to minimize risk.

• Body Mass Index (BMI) Check: Trekkers are evaluated to ensure a healthy BMI range suited for high-altitude exertion.

• Fitness Declarations: Participants are required to submit fitness proof or undergo an assessment if needed.

• Acclimatization Protocols: Every itinerary includes rest days specifically for acclimatization to reduce the risk of AMS.

🩺 Health Monitoring on Trail

Throughout the journey, your health is monitored regularly by our trained trek leaders:

• Vital Checks: Daily monitoring of oxygen levels, pulse rate, and blood pressure.

• Health Cards: Each trekker’s vitals are documented and can be reviewed at the end of the trek.

• Immediate Response: Any early symptoms of AMS or other altitude-related issues are immediately addressed.

💊 Medical Safety Measures

Parvat Exploration is prepared with a comprehensive medical kit on all high-altitude treks. Our kits are equipped with:

• Blood Pressure Monitor

• Oxygen Saturation Meter (Pulse Oximeter)

• Portable Oxygen Cylinders

• High-altitude emergency medicines:

  • Diamox (for AMS)

  • Dexamethasone (for HAPE/HACE)

  • Nifedipine

  • Asthalin Inhaler

  • Disprin

  • Sterile Syringes

Our trek leaders are AMC-qualified (Advanced Mountaineering Course) and trained in Wilderness First Aid.

⛺ World-Class Trekking Equipment

We never compromise on gear. We provide:

• Customized Tents: Weatherproof tents that retain heat up to 10°C higher than outside.

• Hydration Monitoring: Trekkers are routinely reminded and encouraged to hydrate properly to reduce risk of AMS.

🚨 Emergency Response to AMS, HAPE & HACE

Our trek leaders are well-trained to detect and manage Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), and more severe conditions like HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) and HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema).

Recognizing AMS Symptoms:

• Headache, nausea, dizziness

• Difficulty sleeping or breathing

• Loss of appetite or fatigue

Our Action Plan:

• Triple One Protocol: 1 Disprin + 1 Liter Water + 1 Hour Rest.

We advise trekkers never to self-medicate. Always consult the trek leader first.

🏔️ Pre-Trek Preparations | Parvat Exploration

At Parvat Exploration, we believe that trekking is more than just a journey through mountains — it’s a journey within. While the scenic beauty and untouched trails offer unforgettable memories, they also demand a fair share of physical endurance and mental resilience. It’s not just about being fit — it’s about being ready.

Whether you’re taking your first step on a trail or are a seasoned trekker preparing for a high-altitude adventure, here’s how to get trek-ready, the Parvat way.

🫀 Prerequisites of Trekking

1. Cardiovascular Endurance & Stamina

High-altitude treks test your lungs more than your legs. Building cardio endurance is non-negotiable. Jogging, swimming, cycling, or brisk walking — choose your style but stay consistent. Make it a goal-driven journey, just like your trek.

Progressive Stamina Plan:

• 🎯 Start with completing 5 km in 35 minutes or less

• 🏃‍♂️ Push further to 5 km in under 30 minutes

• 🏁 Before your trek, aim to finish 10 km in 60 minutes or less

Doing this 4-5 times a week, at least 2 months before your trek, can make a massive difference.

💪 Strength Training

Most Himalayan trails are a combination of ascents, descents, and flat stretches — think of it as climbing an eternal staircase. Building leg strength is crucial to manage these elevations while carrying a loaded backpack.

Recommended Routine:

• Squats – Begin with 3 sets of 8 reps, aim to increase to 3 sets of 15 reps

• Add lunges, step-ups, and planks to your routine for better balance and core strength

Strong legs = less fatigue = more views to soak in. 🏞️

🤸‍♂️ Flexibility

Trekking involves unpredictable terrains and movements — hopping over rocks, ducking under branches, and stretching across ledges. Without flexibility, even the smallest action can feel like a strain.

Daily Stretching Essentials:

• Hamstrings

• Quadriceps

• Hip Flexors

• Lower Back

• Shoulders

Just 15–20 minutes of stretching each day can help relax muscles, improve posture, and prevent cramps or stiffness during the trek.

❤️‍🔥 Cardiovascular + Speed Endurance Mix

This is where most of your training time should go. A perfect mix of speed and endurance helps your heart adapt to thin air and long-distance trekking.

Sample Routine:

• 🏃 Start with 5 km in 45 mins

• Gradually progress to 7 km in 45 mins

• Aim for 10 km in 80–90 mins without breaks

The trick is consistency — every week counts.

🏋️ Back & Core Strength

A Himalayan backpack may only weigh 6–10 kg, but it feels heavier the higher you go. Building core strength and shoulder stability helps you carry that weight with ease.

Try these:

• Planks (front & side)

• Shoulder shrugs

• Deadlifts (light-weighted)

• Back extensions

Training your core will help you maintain posture and prevent lower back strain.

🧘 Mental Preparation

Even the strongest trekker may be tested by sudden weather changes or tough climbs. That’s where mental strength takes the lead.

At Parvat Exploration, we encourage practicing:

• Breathing Exercises (Pranayama)

• Meditation (10–15 mins daily)

• Mindful Silence / Nature Walks

Mental calmness boosts your decision-making ability and allows you to be present — to feel every whisper of the wind, every crunch of gravel beneath your boots.

🔚 Final Word from Parvat Exploration

The Himalayas are humbling. They test and teach. Preparation is your way of respecting the mountain. Start early, stay regular, and trek mindfully.

Because out there, it’s just you, the trail, and the mountain calling.
