Chopta Chandrashila Trek, Uttarakhand was one of the best treks that I have ever been on. It is awesome. Uttarakhand is a traveller’s heaven. It has varied sightseeing and trekking options. Being the first time in the state, I was sceptical, but the locals are friendly. The trek was the highlight of my travel. It was just perfect. I loved it so much. I had a really great time with the trek. Also, the trekking was not that tough or challenging as it seems to be. Once you have enough stamina, you can easily enjoy the trek. I would surely suggest this to all.

This was a fun ride. The trekking experience was uber cool. Most of my friends were first time trekkers so they were all a little uneasy, but the trek was organized with breaks and camping here and there to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate. It was an amazing experience overall. Each one of us enjoyed this trek a lot. Also, this trek was very much in budget that it didn’t burn our pockets like most trips would. The trick here is to book tickets for flights early.

It was an interesting trek. We had a really great time. We loved the trek totally. It was our honeymoon and going on this trek was her plan. Initially after the tired wedding rituals, we thought of quitting midway, but later we decided to push our limits further and finish the trek and trust me, it was magical. We had a weird and full sense of excitement when we completed the up trek. The down trek was complicated too, but we were all pumped up with joy and energy to go downhill.

This trek was hands down the best trek that I have had in the past few months. Being a regular trekker, I do a lot of short weekend treks, but taking actual long treks is tough with my work schedule. Now that I did it, I am glad that I chose this place. This is definitely a nice and a challenging trek. I totally loved being on this trek. I just wish that the food was better though. The climate is quite cold here so make sure to carry all your winter trek gears.

This trek was the challenging and most gruesome trek I ever had. I have heard about more tough treks, but this trek was toughest of my trekking places. I am a novice trekker and I am still in the bottom of the learning curve. I am improving day by day, trek by trek, and this trek served as a big learning jump up.

This was a really good trek, except for the fact that the trek was a little bit hard and tough. I am not used to these kinds of treks and at the end, my legs became sore and I couldn’t walk.

This was a really good trek. I had a nice time trekking here. While, the organization of the trek was good, I would say that the food and stay options should have been made better.

It was a fine and nice trek. I am not saying this was the best trek ever, but this was definitely fine for the money we paid and the experience we had. On the other hand I feel that this can be made better with better equipped and talented trek leaders who know a lot more about the place.

It was a worthy trek. I recommend this trek totally, and I guess you will thank me later.

The trekking experience was fine and good. It was one of the really nice treks that I have had. I would definitely recommend people to take this. The flights are costly if booked last minute, so it is better if you book it earlier to avoid unnecessary expenses.
