A premium Auli–Chopta–Tungnath circuit with balanced road days, mountain time and optional adventure.
Begin the Himalayan drive after breakfast. Travel through the Alaknanda valley via Devprayag and onward towards Joshimath. Continue to Auli by road or ropeway subject to operation and arrival timing. Check in and enjoy a relaxed mountain evening.
Keep the morning slow and scenic. Explore Auli's slopes, viewpoints and Auli Lake area. Optional ropeway/chairlift or snow activities can be added when operating and in season. Sunset is reserved for uninterrupted Himalayan views.
After breakfast, descend towards Chopta through the mountain roads. The route is designed as a scenic transfer with stops at suitable viewpoints and local cafés. Check in at your Chopta-area stay and spend the evening preparing for the next day's trek.
Start early for the dedicated Tungnath day. The trail from Chopta to Tungnath is approximately 3 km one way on a well-defined uphill route. Spend time at the temple, rest and descend to Chopta. The optional Chandrashila extension may be planned for fit trekkers when trail and weather conditions permit.
Keep this as a recovery day after the trek. Enjoy a slow breakfast, short nature walks and the forest-meadow landscape around Chopta. Guests who prefer more activity can add a local guided walk, subject to conditions.
Check out after breakfast and begin the return journey. The route follows the Himalayan valleys with suitable breaks for meals, viewpoints and the sacred river confluences along the way. Reach Rishikesh by evening for a comfortable final night.
Enjoy breakfast and check out. Depending on your departure timing, add a relaxed Ganga-side walk or café stop before your private transfer to Dehradun Airport, railway station or Delhi.
