Tungnath's doors close for winter
Tungnath temple, Chopta, Uttarakhand
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
Like the other Panch Kedar shrines, Tungnath closes for the winter months and the deity is moved down the valley. The trail can still be walked in snow, but conditions and facilities are very different.
The lesson
Check the temple's opening dates if the darshan matters to you.
Advice for future travellers
In snow, microspikes and a local guide make the climb much safer.
