Frequently Asked Questions — May
Yes, Tungnath Temple is fully open in May. You can participate in morning and evening puja ceremonies. The temple opens in late April and closes post-Diwali (October–November).
May makes Chandrashila relatively accessible — no snow, warm temperatures, and long daylight hours. The ascent takes 2.5–3 hours from Chopta. Altitude of 4,130m is the only challenge for first-timers.
Chopta lies in the Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary. In May you may spot Himalayan monal (pheasant), musk deer, bharal (blue sheep), and various raptors. Early morning walks yield the best wildlife sightings.
