It had been on my to-do list for a while and recently, I was finally able to complete it successfully. In this article, I will provide a detailed log of my experience, itinerary, and a few tips.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whoever thought of winning over a mountain, was undeniably a fool. The big rock is alive &amp; breathes its own ways. You can predict its way of life but you can seldom get close to what it really is. If you\u2019re lucky, you can just stand atop the peak &amp; shout out to the world at large.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the end, you\u2019ll only end up whispering to your deepest self and walk out of there as a better person than you were when you gazed at the perilous peak from a safe haven. The deciphering silence of a mountain is a blissful disguise. The mountain speaks its own language and we\u2019ve got to give in to its methods to learn about life &amp; find our true strengths.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As they say, you can never conquer a mountain, you can only conquer yourself.

For some, it is a way of getting up close with Mother Nature while some of us just enjoy pushing our limits. In both cases, the perfect dose of adrenaline is well-served with vigor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I always dreamt of taking a wide look at the world from the summit of a mountain. However, even after having done numerous motorcycle rides into the Himalayas, I had never got an opportunity to stand atop a desolate peak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ecstasy of being on my own on the greater heights eluded me. It seemed like I was able to experience the very touch of wilderness but from a distance. It was about time that those dreams come true.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deoria_Tal_Chandrashila_Trek_Itinerary\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Deoria Tal Chandrashila Trek Itinerary<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Below was our proposed itinerary for Deoria Tal Chandrashila Trek.

Having done numerous treks of all sorts in the Himalayas, Pankaj is one well-experienced guide &amp; trek leader one can travel with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Needless to say, he\u2019s a better person than just being a minding authority. Since we were a small pack, we got the opportunity to get along with each other well. Countless talks &amp; humorous moments followed as we put forward one sturdy step at a time on that treacherous terrain.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sari_Village\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sari Village<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Making our way through Rudraprayag where we stopped for lunch &amp; Ukhimath, we reached Sari around noon.

It\u2019s a very remote establishment surrounded well with the beautiful bugyals (meadows).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The stay at Sari was abstemious. Being the base camp for the steep trek to Deoria Tal lake, Sari enjoys much attention from travel enthusiasts. Ample options for accommodation and moderate eating joints make it a pleasant stay at the tiny hamlet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We strayed around in the vast fields behind the lodge in the evening. Since there was no trekking planned for the day, we just laid back &amp; relaxed in the idyllic lap of nature.

And sure it was. But what made matters worse was the sun. It got too hot within minutes of starting the trek.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As soon as we started walking uphill, we could feel the scorching heat determined to test our limits. Throughout the 2 km trek, Sari village is visible from every corner. We walked through the dense cover of Rhododendron trees that spill the air with a fresh color.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was challenging to traverse in that climate but the beauty of the terrain was just too tempting. Tip-toeing through the commendable turf, we reached the majestic lake within 90 minutes of starting. Since it was a steep walk, we almost gained an altitude of 1250 feet.

It felt like the scenery has come to life out of a painting. The blue skies welcomed us in the delightful abode while the snow-clad peaks of Chaukhamba gazed calmly at our presence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-xf-p=\"1\">They say camping at Deoria Tal is a lifetime experience. We could already see some trekkers unpacking their kits &amp; setting up tents. Our host managed to reserve a suitable spot for pitching our tents while we wandered around the unbelievable venue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-xf-p=\"1\">The Himalayas present an astounding sight of vigorous tales of nature. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/best-time-to-visit-deoria-tal\/\">Deoria Tal<\/a><\/strong>, situated at the height of 7800 feet above sea level, enjoys the presence of vast fauna precariously preserved amid the mighty Himalayan cover.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-xf-p=\"1\">During winters, the lake freezes partially and the weather is chilling. In summers, the days could get a little hot but the climate is pleasant in the evenings. We tried to catch up with the sunset, but all in vain as the valley looked ruffled in clouds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-xf-p=\"1\">We had a nice dinner at one of the eating joints &amp; took to our tents as the night shadowed upon the sublime lake. As the moon appeared bright &amp; promising, the Himalayas presented an unforgettable sight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-xf-p=\"1\">The aura looked heavenly in the moonlight. I wished I could just stay out &amp; glare at what nature had in store for us. Away from city life, this was a perfect spot picked out for us. It was a serene silence in the air when we decided to call it a day.

People wrapped up their tents &amp; continued on their journeys henceforth. By the time I woke up &amp; peeked out from my tent, some people had left already. We got ready and prepared the saddle for the trek ahead. The plan was to trek to Rohini Bugyal &amp; camp there for the night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We traversed into the dense jungle with our local guides. The path was feebly visible but involved a lot of ups &amp; downs. And most of the turf was rocky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While moving downhill, my feet were having a tough time. They were almost sore by the time we reached our destination for the day. We kept eating in small quantities so as to keep up the energy. And of course, we kept drinking water at regular intervals. The sun was right above us &amp; the valley opened up. It was too bright a day and sunscreens didn\u2019t seem to work much.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We found ourselves climbing steadily sometimes &amp; then easing it up down the hill. It makes matters worse when climbing through the rocks. Any slippery section of the rocks could lead to a mishap. Plus, the height we were at made it a little precarious.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We made our way through the Rhododendron forests to reach Rohini Bugyal by noon. However, to our surprise, the water streams were all dried up. And without water on our side, it was impossible to spend a night at the place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pankaj suggested that we should keep moving forward &amp; aim to reach Chopta by evening. He was of the view that we\u2019d find some desolate water stream flowing on the way for sure. That was still a lofty expectation as the temperatures rose tremendously that day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/deoria-tal\/\">Deoria Tal \u2013 A Complete Travel Guide &amp; Itinerary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rohini_Bugyal_to_Chopta\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Rohini Bugyal to Chopta<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We continued on our path through the numerous bugyals. It was 12:30 in the afternoon when we decided to take a break &amp; have lunch. We took to a comfortable lump on the grass &amp; lay back for a while.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The food was delicious, given the remote location and we were in good spirits. Soon after gulping down a hefty lunch, we moved on. It was getting uncomfortably hot to carry the backpack in that heat. I was taking regular sips of water and within no time, I was out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thanks to my friends who could share from their reserve. It\u2019s an important learning from this experience. One must carry enough water to last the trek. Our search for water ended when we made our way downhill towards a stream. We could hear the sound of the ravishing waters from a distance &amp; couldn\u2019t wait to reach there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finding a random stream of water is a bliss of nature. We parked our packs on the side &amp; entered the water barefoot to relax our feet. I drank plenty &amp; topped up my water bottle. Soon when the rest of the group joined us there, we made our way towards our destination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was an hour and a half long walk through the woods. Since we were all charged up after the much-needed drinks, we talked a lot on the way. Needless to say, we didn\u2019t even realize when we were down to the last mile. Within no time, we hit the road &amp; could <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/best-time-to-visit-chopta\/\">see Chopta<\/a><\/strong> from a distance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yep!

The evening followed with endless talks, smiles all around &amp; a night beneath the starry canvas above us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While we took to our tents for the night, the plan was set to start the trek towards Tungnath &amp; Chandrashila early the next morning. And when I say early, I mean 04:00 AM. What was in store for us was watching over the world from the humble summit of Chandrashila.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I never wanted to sleep that night, for I was too excited to scale that mountain. I had been reading about this trail for years but never had I forwarded attempts to reach out for it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This was my chance at something larger than life. With countless dreams &amp; aspirations, I decided to take a nap for the mighty trek under the star-studded sky.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/deoria-tal-to-rishikesh\/\">Deoria Tal to Rishikesh \u2013 Camping on White Sands<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chopta_to_Tungnath\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chopta to Tungnath<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was 04:30 AM and the gigantic terrain around us breathed calmly. It was time for the final leg of our Deoria Tal Chandrashila Trek. There was no noise in the air and it was quaint as heaven. We started traversing on the well-laid trail up till Tungnath. Flashlights lit the trail as the path was faintly visible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Soon, we got lost into the dense dark forest that stood daunting ahead of us. While our local guide and Prakshal led the way, others followed. It was chilling at first but with due time I felt normal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The trek is steep enough to break your legs, especially when you\u2019ve not eaten anything for the past 6 hours and haven\u2019t got enough sleep. I felt tired within the first 30 minutes of walking. Slowly I realized I was at the end of the pack trying to seep through the tough times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If my memory serves me right, I would have decided to quit the trek a couple of times. But the next moment, I asked myself the question I had been tumbling upon for years, \u201cwhy climb those mountains?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I realized the efforts &amp; the pain that I experienced was worth the satisfaction of making it to the summit. The view from the top was going to heal every little ache.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was still dark. We saw snow patches on the side-walks for the first time on the trek. That was an indication that a white cover could welcome us at Tungnath &amp; for sure on the way to Chandrashila.

While the conditions tested our mettle, we defied all odds &amp; made it to the peak exactly after 3 hours of climbing through the rock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lord Shiva Temple at Chandrashila<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/deoria-tal-chandrashila-trek-35.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27310 size-full\" title=\"deoria tal chandrashila trek\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/deoria-tal-chandrashila-trek-35.jpg\" alt=\"deoria tal chandrashila trek\" width=\"614\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/deoria-tal-chandrashila-trek-35.jpg 614w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/deoria-tal-chandrashila-trek-35-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/deoria-tal-chandrashila-trek-35-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/deoria-tal-chandrashila-trek-35-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chandrashila_Summit\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chandrashila Summit<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was tremendously tired.

We continue living our lives, doing the daily chores &amp; gutting it out with the social stereotypes. However, we seldom realize the true worth &amp; fragrance of life while we are at it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My message is clear. We\u2019ve got to look beyond the horizons of conventional paradigms &amp; step into the conscience of the fruitfulness this world has to offer. Traveling to the mountains makes me fall in love with the very worth of life &amp; that\u2019s why I wander.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Look for a reason fellas, a reason worth toughing it out for. In the end, that\u2019s all that matters. Take a light moment &amp; talk to yourself. I\u2019m sure you haven\u2019t done that in a while! Expression is of utmost importance &amp; we tend to express in different ways. But speaking one\u2019s heart out never goes out of style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/delhi-to-deoria-tal\/\">Delhi to Deoria Tal \u2013 A Memorable Trip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Review_%E2%80%93_Deoria_Tal_Chandrashila_Trek\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Review \u2013 Deoria Tal Chandrashila Trek<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My travelogues reflect each moment I spend wandering on unknown roads, among unknown faces. The tale of Deoria Tal Chandrashila Trek is no different. My scheme of things might look crazy to some of you, but where people might see the craziness, I see inspiration &amp; freedom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This makes me want to shout out the message loud &amp; clear; that when we start believing in our dreams &amp; our passions, things tend to fall in place. That there\u2019s one thing in our lives that could give meaning to our thoughts. That there\u2019s a road to nirvana &amp; we ought to take it if we seek to change. And on the way, we\u2019d inspire life. I will be my best while I\u2019m out there, living it up!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A million thanks to my friends who accompanied me on this trek &amp; the organizers for setting things right. Pankaj, you\u2019re the man buddy, thanks for the exceptional guidance throughout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Getting lost in the wilderness is a wonderful stroke of luck; and with you guys, it was fun-n-frolic. A special thanks to Sonu &amp; Prakshal for their incredible contributions to this photo collection. I owe it you guys for the support. Cheers to those who love to wander.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Travel is my inspiration &amp; I shall always be lost in what I feel gives meaning to my life. Looking ahead to higher grounds &amp; mightier challenges. How about you?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Live. Ride. Smile.
