Auli to Chopta: is it worth the trip?
Distance, travel time, day trip or overnight — and how to fit Chopta into a Auli holiday.
Why go to Chopta
Tungnath temple, Chandrashila summit and mini-Switzerland meadows. A meadow village and the trailhead for Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple, and the Chandrashila summit above it.
Is it worth it?
Chopta deserves a night — the 5-hour drive makes a same-day return tiring. It's the natural extension if you have four or five days.
