Shri Tungnath Temple, Panch Kedar

Tungnath Temple feels deeply spiritual and surreal. As the highest Shiva temple in the world, it offers a peaceful, soul-stirring experience surrounded by majestic Himalayan beauty. The trek is moderate but rewarding, winding through dense forests, meadows, and ancient silence. Whether for faith or nature, Tungnath leaves you feeling calm, connected, and humbled.

The aura of this temple is unbelievable. We trekked here in the month of May 2025. The weather was pretty good since we started early. There are shops all along till you reach the temple. Well done Uttarakhand forest department to keep the surroundings so clean. Walk slowly and take standing breaks in between and complete your journey. Just sitting outside of the temple fills you with divine energy. I would like to come here in winter again if possible. Please keep the place clean when you visit 🙏

The cool mountain air and natural beauty added to the magic. A must-visit for adventure and spiritual seekers! Highly recommend this unforgettable trek to Tungnath for its majestic views and sacred atmosphere.

Tungnath Temple, nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, is the highest Shiva temple in the world and a sacred stop on the Panch Kedar pilgrimage. Despite its remote location, the trek to Tungnath is relatively short (about 3.5 km from Chopta) and incredibly scenic, offering stunning views of snow-capped peaks and alpine meadows. The temple itself, with its ancient stone architecture and serene surroundings, exudes spiritual energy and peace. Whether you're a devotee, trekker, or nature lover, visiting Tungnath is a soul-stirring experience that combines natural beauty with divine tranquility.

Its the worlds highest shiva temple and reaching there is also will give you the same feel. It’s covered under green valley. Trek is of 3 km but it will feel like 5-6 km. Trek route is very clear but it is difficult to climb. You might feel breathing issue. But its worth when you reach to temple. Along with temple dont forget to visit chandrashila peak.

A divine experience in the lap of the Himalayas! Shree Tungnath Mandir is one of the most peaceful and spiritually powerful places I’ve ever visited. It’s the highest Shiva temple in the world, and the trek to reach it is truly worth it. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and stunning views, the journey feels magical from start to finish. The path is beautiful and not too difficult, with breathtaking nature all around.
