Chopta & Tungnath in September, October & November 2026 – Complete Travel Guide
If you ask me about one of the best times to visit Chopta and Tungnath, I usually recommend the months after the monsoon and before the proper winter begins.
Best months
September to November
Best base
Sari Village
Main experiences
Deoria Tal & Tungnath
Ideal stay
2 to 3 nights
Autumn is one of the most rewarding times to slow down in the Chopta region. The monsoon has passed, mountain views begin to open up, and Sari Village becomes a practical base for combining Deoria Tal with Chopta, Tungnath and Chandrashila.

Before you leave
A few practical planning notes
- Keep one warm layer and basic rain protection even when the forecast looks clear.
- Start trekking days early so you have comfortable daylight and time for changing conditions.
- Use Sari Village as a base when you want Deoria Tal close by without changing accommodation every night.
- Check current road and trail conditions close to your travel date rather than relying only on old online posts.
