Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila Trek in June

Weather, temperatures, packing and honest advice — from the team that runs this trail.

The quick answer

We don't recommend Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila in June. The trail is at its best in Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr — and there are better options this month (listed below). The trek runs 4 days from Chopta, Rudraprayag, reaching 13,123 ft at its highest point, and is graded Easy-Moderate (2/5). The fee is ₹7,500 + 5% GST with permits, meals, camping and certified trek leaders included.

Why not this month: July–August monsoon wraps Tungnath in mist with slippery stone steps and no views; May–June is comfortable but hazy — sunrise loses its 360° payoff.

Long, warm days with clear mornings; afternoon clouds are common at altitude. Snow bridges melt out, streams run high with meltwater, and the high passes open for the season. On Chopta Tungnath Chandrashila, expect daytime temperatures around 20°C on the trail and roughly 6°C at the highest camps after dark in June.
