Chopta, Uttarakhand: The Mini Switzerland of India | Explore with Lekhwar Hospitality

Tucked away in the Garhwal Himalayas, Chopta is one of Uttarakhand’s most breathtaking destinations—so picturesque that it’s lovingly called “Mini Switzerland of India.” With lush meadows, snow-clad peaks, peaceful forests, and crisp mountain air, Chopta offers the perfect escape for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and spiritual travelers alike.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing holiday or embarking on the sacred trek to Tungnath and Chandrashila, Lekhwar Hospitality ensures that your visit is comfortable, organized, and unforgettable.

Why Chopta Is a Must-Visit Destination

      A Paradise of Alpine Meadows

Chopta’s rolling green meadows (bugyals) resemble Europe’s Swiss landscapes, especially during spring and summer. The panoramic views of Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Chaukhamba peaks are the highlight of every visit.

      Gateway to Tungnath Temple

Chopta is the starting point of the trek to Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world and one of the Panch Kedar shrines. The 3.5 km trail is both spiritually uplifting and visually stunning.

      Chandrashila Summit – A Trekker’s Dream

The Chandrashila summit offers unbelievable 360° views of the Himalayan range. Sunrise here is a magical moment you’ll never forget.

      Perfect for Nature & Wildlife Lovers

Chopta is home to rare Himalayan birds, dense forests of deodar and rhododendron, and peaceful walking trails—making it ideal for photography, birdwatching, and meditation.

      Snow Lover’s Haven

In winter, Chopta turns into a snowy wonderland perfect for snow trekking, photography, and cozy mountain stays.
