| Deoria tal |
One of the exotic and beautiful places in Uttarakhand is the Deoria tal –Chopta – Tungath – Chandrashila circuit. To reach Deoria tal, you have to trek
2.5 km from Sare village which is last road head 220 km from Rishikesh. The trek
is steep and very exciting, which shall give you breathtaking scenery of
Chandrashila peak. After reaching at the top of the mountain, you sudden
explore this lake and the Himalayan range behind it. The famous Chaukhmba peak
is the prominent one. The reflection of the Chaukhamba peak can be seen on the
surface of the Deoria tal lake. The moment you reach
here and see the aura of this place, you forget your tiring journey and the
trek. The fresh air and the lake in the midst of the Himalaya would take you to
a totally different world. One can stay overnight here. Dream Mountain provides
overnight stay here by the lake side.

| Chopta |
It takes 6 – 7 hours from Rishikesh to reach here at Sare village by
motor road (200 km) and 2.5 km trek further (2-3 hours). After staying one
night and another day till noon here, one can move further to Chopta which is
only 25 km by road from Sare village. The tourists get a totally different view
at Chopta which is famous for its big lush green meadows. In Chopta, there are
few short treks, which can be enjoyed by going from one meadow to another. One
can spend whole day here and crave to stay here for more period. The next day
is kept for Tungnath and Chandrashila trek, since the trek starts from Chopta.

| Tunganth - Chandrashila trek |
Tungnath-Chandrashila is one of the most sought after treks in Uttarakhand.
Visitors from India and abroad can be seen here in these places. Chandrashila
summit is the end of this trek. If you are lucky and the weather is clear, the
majestic view of Himalayan range will take your breath away. This trek is
normally completed in a single day, which is around 10 km. After the completion
of the trek at Chopta, one can move further down to Ukhimath which is 30 km
from here. This should be done in order to reduce the journey time next day.

The above circuit is very interesting as the people don’t know that these
places are so nearby and missing anyone of these places would mean missing one
whole tourist destination. There have many instances when people visit Chopta
and miss other places or vice-versa. Dream Mountain offers this circuit to
enjoy three types of destinations on a single itinerary. You would get a
lifetime experience after this journey.
The travel itinerary is shown below :
Delhi to Rishikesh - 220 km
Rishikesh to Sare - 200 km
Sare to Chopta - 25 km
Chopta to Ukhimath - 30 km
Ukhimath to Risshikesh - 190 km
