Chopta Chandrashila is a quite popular choice among trekkers for the beauty it offers along the way. Dense forest trails, beautiful rhododendron flowers, bird species, Tungnath temple and Chandrashila peak being cherry on the top. But it is more special to me as this was also my first volunteering experience on a trek. And I got a hands on experience of the saying grass is greener on the other side! :D
We were a group of 30 ranging from teenagers to some super inspiring senior citizens and started our journey from Surat, Gujarat. The cost mentioned here is Surat to Surat all including train tickets, bus/cab, stay, food, adventure activities and rafting, sight seeing at Hrishikesh.
