Best Join A Group Tours And Activities In Rishikesh

About the Destination: 

The mountain biking in Himalayas spans across many districts of Uttarakhand starting from Haridwar, the holy city of Rishikesh, deeper into the district of Pauri Garhwal meandering into the remote Tehri district.

While the magnificent Himalayan ranges casts its spell on you throughout the journey, the graceful Ganges and her sister rivers Bhagirathi and Alakananda will charm you with their serene beauty. The place is a hotspot for travellers and adventure seekers alike. There are popular destinations such as the Tehri Dam, Mussourie and Landsdowne and hidden gems such as the Chamba, small village of Thatyur and the beautiful Vyasghat. 

About the Departure with Details: Your bikes are your best friend on this exciting journey that begins from Haridwar and takes you through the winding roads of Devikhal. As you delve deeper into the region, you pass the holy Devprayag, Anjanisein and Chamba. Paddling through the mountainous trail is terrific and taxing even as you reach Yamuna Bridge and finally the strenuous ride to Biratkhai. Your journey ends at Dakpaathar and you return home stronger and richer with memorable experiences. 

About the Destination: 

The excitement and allurement of the Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila Trek starts right from the beginning. The occasionally steep climbs will not feel like uphill tasks as you walk through jungle trails surrounded by oak and birch trees, or, through verdant meadows filled with rhododendrons. The placid beauty of the place is punctuated by the chirping of birds, the soft laughter of a brook as it rolls over stones on the way and the whispering wind. The view of snow-capped mountain peaks against the backdrop of the beautiful Devariyatal or the breathtaking Chopta valley is an excellent ingredient for a perfect trekking experience. A walk through nature gives you ample opportunities to soak in the different moods of nature as they unravel at every step.

About the Departure: 

A perfect blend of excitement, allurement, amazement culminating in ultimate admiration is what summarises the Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila trek. The first part of the trek is through a jungle of conifer trees, rhododendrons and ferns. The tall pine trees give you glimpses of snow capped peaks which can be clearly viewed from the emerald lake of Devariyatal. The forest gradually recedes and opens up to the spectacular Chopta valley. Explore the place before proceeding towards a tryst with another divine experience at Tungnath and Chandrashilla Top. The Top offers an all round view of some well-known peaks and many not so known that blend in layers of blue ranges. The trek is rough at times but not difficult at all. Enjoy the camping experience as you stay amidst nature experiencing its smell, sights and sounds to the fullest.
