Questions
How hard is the Chandrashila climb?

Moderate. The Tungnath trail is paved and steady; the final summit push is steep but short. First-timers with basic fitness complete it comfortably.

Can I do this in winter?

Yes, it is a famous snow trek from December to March. We provide gaiters and microspikes when the trail has snow.
