Tungnath Temple is one of the highest Shiva temples in the world and is the highest of the five Panch Kedar temples located in the Rudraprayag district, in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The Tungnath (literal meaning: Lord of the peaks) mountains form the Mandakini and Alaknanda river valleys. It is located at an altitude of 3,680 m (12,073 ft), and just below the peak of Chandrashila. It has a rich legend linked to the Pandavas, heroes of the Mahabharata epic. Magnificent in its architecture and artistic structure, Tungnath Mahadev Temple is considered to be more than 1000 years old. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and few other idols of Goddess Parvati and other gods can be seen in the vicinity. This sacred temple was discovered by Adi Shankaracharya and now the priest of this temple is a local Brahmins of Makku village. The best time for the Tungnath trek is May to June (for pleasant weather and clear trails) and September to October (for crisp Himalayan views after the monsoon). During these windows, the temple is open, and the weather is perfect for continuing your hike to the nearby Chandrashila peak. Chasing Clouds - Your one stop adventure partner.
