Tungnath Trek 17/sep/2015 offers a spiritual and scenic experience leading to the world's highest Shiva temple, but requires good trekking shoes and stamina due to the steep, rocky, and sometimes snowy path. While the path to Tungnath is a well-paved, manageable ascent, the final 1.5 km to the Chandrashila summit is steeper and more challenging, rewarding hikers with stunning 360-degree Himalayan views on clear days. It's recommended to start early to avoid crowds, carry warm layers and water, and be prepared for varying conditions, from lush greenery to snow.
