Tour Overview
What makes this package unforgettable
Chopta, often called the “Mini Switzerland of India”, offers more than just rolling meadows and rhododendron forests. Its granite cliffs and boulder fields are a well-kept secret among Indian rock climbers. Our 5-day expedition introduces you to technical single-pitch climbing on natural rock, with routes graded from beginner to advanced.
The package includes a full UIAA-standard safety briefing, top-rope and lead-climbing sessions, abseiling, and a scenic day hike to the Tungnath temple — the highest Shiva temple in the world — and Chandrashila summit with views of Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Kedar Dome.
