You might want to use the local jeep service that runs from Ukhimath to Tungnath and Chopta. It departs roughly every 90 minutes and drops you at the base of the trail, cutting the drive time by about 30 minutes. This way you can reach Tungnath before noon and still have ample daylight for the valley walk from Chopta. If you need a place to stay in Ukhimath, Regenta Resort Madhuganga Ukhimath is a convenient base right by the main gate. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
