Chandrashila Trek – Above the clouds below the heaven

A trek in Moonson is either deadly or takes you to heaven, you witness the realms of the green kingdom, washed away with the water from the sky. Beauty!!

We almost completed 80% of our trek and here it came the Mighty Shiva Temple – Tungnath, Chopta. Hopefully, the weather was on our side, it started with a Little rain and then one terrible thing happened extreme rainshower, thunderstorm & lightening. The clouds were rumbling and roaring above us but ALAS I was determined to climb Chandrashila peak for once and for all, so how can I back off now. I have read about it a lot, the myths of the mountains and the deep green valley you see when you reach the top. It is mesmering digitally and i wantedt to witness the magic by myself no matter what it takes.

Reckless ya? Maybe that is what they say “Adrenaline Talks” or the rush we, the lost souls feel when we achieve something not-materialistic, bone-wrenching & sometime extreme sport. Well, everything comes up with a big caution – Risky can be deadly or fruitful, depends on your planning & present of mind. So I advise you to be fully panned before taking any risk regarding a trek in monsoon.

– From the North

We waited for about 2 to 3 hours, we have one umbrella and no raincoat, technically I kinda stole the orphan raincoat hanging outside the hut we were waiting. After 2-3 hours of heavy rain, finally, the rain stopped, we rushed toward the trek, cute little but dangerous waterfalls started emerging from here and there throughout the trek, everyone is advising us not to go on this time but hum kaha rukne vale thy bhaiya, we started our trek towards Chandrashila.

we found a Lawaris raincoat outside our shack, we just picked it and ran(LOL), as we started we found another group on the way up and guess what they offered us another raincoat as one of their pals is not trekking with them and choose to stay back at Tungnath, lucky we.

I can’t believe till now that i did it, i made it like in such treble terrain, so risky trek route after rain and i am so much excited just for a single view from Chandrashila, i bet if anyone was there in place of me then he/she would surely gave up after such heavy rain. Risky but worthy.

It was a life changing trek for me.

Life has become a lot easier afterwards!! 🙂

That’s it, folks!! Hope you liked it and will plan to visit Chandrashila soon cuz it is worthy// Let me know in comments, support my blog and love love ❤ 🙂

Next day we woke up at 6 and enjoyed the beautiful sunrise of Chopta, today we were heading towards Deoriataal.

It’s a 3km trek from Siri village to Deoria taal, it was fun and refreshing but yes we were exhausted from the previous day-long trek but who can stop a vagabond when she is in her expedition right.

There are few snaps of our trek journey.

So that’s how our trek ended, we came down into the town Ukimath, we took a hotel for night stay as there was only one bus direct to Haridwar at 5 in the morning from Ukimath and we can not miss that at any cost, That night we had an amazing dinner at some local Bhojanalay, we ate like a monster bcoz the food was so excellent there. We had wine and a nice tight sleep and yes at morning we came back to the reality, where no one knows the real you, the city life.

Well there is so much to share about my expedition, so many beautiful pictures to share but now I am putting a full stop here, Go now Visit Chopta and live the nature by own.

Thanks & Regards – A Restless Roaming Spirit
