Tungnath, at 12,073 above mean sea level, is the
highest Shiva temple in the world, discounting perhaps the Amarnath Cave
shrine near Srinagar, Kashmir, which is situated at an altitude of
12,756 feet. Tungnath is second in importance among the five mountain
shrines collectively known as the Panch Kedar. The temple opens for
worship after winter snows melt in June and remains open until late
October when snowfall cuts off access to the temple. At this time the
deity is moved ceremoniously to the Ukhimath, thousands of feet below.
Besides its majestic location against a backdrop of cliffs, peaks and
snow-clad mountains, Tungnath is also popular with trekkers, who make it
a point to witness the sunrise from Chandrashila, a nearby peak at
13,123 feet.
