Delhi to Auli Chopta Tungnath by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Delhi to Auli-Chopta-Tungnath adventure circuit covers approximately 800 km through the Garhwal Himalayas, offering some of Uttarakhand's most spectacular alpine scenery. Depart Delhi on NH334 and NH7 via Haridwar and Rishikesh. From Rishikesh, the road follows the Alaknanda River valley through Devprayag (holy confluence), Srinagar (Garhwal), and Rudraprayag. For Chopta, turn off at Ukhimath, ascending to the meadow campsite at 2,680 metres, known as the Mini Switzerland of India. The 3.5 km trek from Chopta to Tungnath Temple (3,680m), the highest Shiva temple in the world, and the further 1.5 km scramble to Chandrashila summit (4,000m) for 360-degree Himalayan panoramas of Nanda Devi, Trisul, and Kedarnath peaks are the circuit's highlight. For Auli, continue from Joshimath via ropeway or road to reach this skiing paradise at 2,800 metres, with views of Nanda Devi (India's second highest peak). Joshimath's Narsingh Temple and the hot springs at Tapovan are bonus stops. Groups should carry warm layers even in summer. The tempo traveller parks at roadheads while the group treks. Maggi and chai at mountain stalls fuel the adventure.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Delhi to Auli Chopta Tungnath costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 500 km (one way to Auli, ~800 km circuit) and about 4-5 days circuit (18-20 hours driving total) of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
