Frequently Asked Questions
The trek from Chopta to Tungnath (3.5 km) is considered moderate, featuring a well-paved stone path. However, the final 1.5 km ascent from Tungnath to Chandrashila peak is steep and requires a good level of physical fitness. Our guide will ensure a safe, steady pace.
Yes! The 16km Shivpuri to Nim Beach stretch includes Grade II and III rapids, which are perfect for both beginners and experienced rafters. You will be provided with high-quality life jackets and helmets, and an expert instructor will guide the raft at all times.
If you are specifically looking for a snow-covered landscape and skiing in Auli, the best months are late December to February. However, the Tungnath trek becomes much more difficult due to heavy snow during these months. For lush meadows and clear trekking trails, visit between March to June or September to November.
For Bungee Jumping, the minimum age is usually 12 years with a strict weight requirement (typically between 35kg to 120kg). For river rafting, children under 14 years are generally not permitted on the rapid-heavy stretches for safety reasons.
