Travel into the mountain valleys of Chopta, deep in the interiors of Uttarakhand, and stay in Swiss tents pitched over a picturesque hillside. You can explore the village of Chopta or admire unfiltered views of mountain peaks that rest at your doorstep. At an additional cost, you can even go on guided treks to nearby destinations such as the Chandrashila peak, the Tungnath temple or Deoriatal Lake. At night, you’ll warm your hands around a crackling bonfire, under a blanket of stars, and wake up to misty mountain views of a Himalayan sunrise.
