My Journey To Chopta

<h1>About Chopta</h1>

Chopta, being the epicenter of Panch Kedar, is called the mini Switzerland of Uttarakhand. It is a little heaven found in the Garhwal Himalayas. Being surrounded by velvety meadows, snow-capped peaks, and serene beauty, Chopta is famous for its religious and historical significance. It is located at the epicenter of Panch Kedar which has five sacred Shiva temples in the state of Uttarakhand, namely Kedarnath, Madmaheshwar, Rudranath, and Kalpeshwar. Tourists from far-off places visit here all year round.&nbsp; 
Chopta Valley is home to rare species of flora and fauna and a paradise for mountain lovers. The distance between <a href="https://www.planmypackage.com/blogs/chopta" target="_blank">Chopta </a>to <a href="https://www.planmypackage.com/blogs/tungnath" target="_blank">Tungnath </a>is just 3.5 km and homes the highest Shiva Temple in the world at an elevation of 3680 meters. The temple belongs to the ancient era and is more than 1000 years old. The foundation of the Tungnath temple was laid by the third Pandava brother, Arjuna. With the North Indian style of architecture, the temple also has a lot of shrines including the one where Lord Ram meditated to finally release himself from the curse that was given to him by Brahmatya because he killed Ravana.
