A mini Switzerland in Himalayas

If you love mountains and if you want to run away from the hustle-bustle of your city to a place where there is no mobile network and no one to break your peace then we have the right place for you – Chopta.

 

A lesser known trekking paradise in Uttarakhand which has just started getting its long overdue limelight, but still not many people know about Chopta.

 

It's a small village which is located on the road connecting to Gopeshwar with Guptkashi, and approximately 450 kms from New Delhi. 

 

Chopta is like mini Switzerland still untouched by too much human interference. A valley town overlooking the snow peaks makes you wonder how beautiful these mighty Himalayas are.

 

Best season: most travellers believe that Chopta is the ideal trekking destination all year around. Yes it is, first time Trekkers should engage in this amazing experience between March and May, when the weather is clear and the stunning landscape proves treat to our eyes.

  3. Chau khamba massif dominates the area and is a true visual delight and of course a treat for photographers.
