....Chandrashila is 1km steep trek from Tungnath temple at 4000mts above sea level. I started early morning after offering prayers at Tungnath temple. Chandrashila peak offers mesmerizing view of Himalayan range and is a popular trek that can be undertaken round the year. Chandrashila means Moon Rock and it is believed that Lord Rama meditated at peak after defeating Ravana. Another legend says that moon god Chandra spent time here.
A very wide range of Himalayan peaks can be seen from Chandrashila like Trishul, Nanda Devi, Chaukhamba and other peaks. I was lucky enough as weather was clear for half an hour and mother nature showered picturesque spot.
