"Such a crap"

Chopta Experience: Chopta is nothing but a taxi stand with very poor hotel service, worst food in the world.and no existent development. the only saving grace is the temprature which is cool during summer but i wouldnt go 350 km from Haridwar on a hill top for this kind of weather. The only reason if you are going there is religious reason , so dont fool your self with the photos of Chopta.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is worst..there is nothing for sight seeing there.

Activities & things to do: Nothing

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Only go with the local driver and that too in small cars/vehicles.

"Chopta - Switzerland of India"

Posted by G.GOSWAMI

Chopta Experience: Chopta with clean and green views of tranquil hill stations and deep, dark night sky with twinkling stars is really charming. The various mountain peaks, expedition to Lord Tunganath from where various snowcapped peaks with magnificent sunlight and coniferous trees and the meadows [the 'Bugyals'] will definitely give mental peace and soothing feelings. But the over-priced non-standard, insufficient accommodation options and other lack of usual amenities can annoy. However, the town still has several hidden spots that make it worth a visit in the monsoon and winter months.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: No standard shops for food. Trekking to Lord Tunganath - a three and half kilometer [3 to 4 hours trekking] on well built road with shadow of long trees is very exciting. One can approach Auli/Joshimath/Badrinathji via Gopeswar/Chamoli for other attractions.

Activities & things to do: Only to enjoy the beautiful creation of the God with all the six senses. Just swallow the variable pleasant beauty of nature. Trek to Lord Tunganath Ji and pray for his blessings.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Reach Chopta via Rudrapryag from Haridwar/Rishikesh or from Mussoourie by Bus or by car-8 to 9 hours journey. It is better to stay one night at Rudrapryag- the confluence of the river Mandakini and Alakananda - and enjoy its beauty. Rudrapryag is almost at half-way distance of Haridwar/Rishikesh and Chopta.
