The arms of Lord Shiva came out as per the Kedarnath myth at Tungnath.
He is worshipped here as one of the Panch Kedars. Tungnath Temple at an altitude of
3680 m, is the highest Shiva shrine among the Panch Kedars. From here one can view
the Bandarpoonch, Kedar, Chaukhamba and Dunagiri peaks, amongst others. The trek to
Tungnath is abundant with rich flora and fauna, with one passing through many a grassy
slope. From Tungnath CHANDRASHILLA PEAK (3950 m) is about I km. From here one gets
a 180 degrees view of the Himalayas that seem to be within arm’s length.
