The Temple of TUNGANATH Tunganath is an important temple of Lord Shiva (the 3rd of the five important Shiva temples in Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India known collectively as The PANCH-KEDARS). It is situated at an altitude of 3886 metres & is the HIGHEST of all temples in India. Tunganath can be reached from CHOPTA, a small hamlet well connected by road to important places like CHAMOLI & UKHIMATH. From Chopta, it is about 3.5 km, but the road is very steep, about 3500 feet in 3.5 km.
The scenic beauty of this area is just fantastic, with a large number of Himalayan peaks visible in clear weather.
