Chopta (~2,680 m) is the trailhead for the 3 km trek to Tungnath Mahadev - the highest Shiva temple in the world and one of the Panch Kedar. From Tungnath a further 1 km climb leads to Chandrashila summit for unobstructed views of the Garhwal Himalayas. The forested approach is rich in rhododendron and deodar.
Auli sits between 2,519 m and 3,050 m and is one of India\'s premier skiing destinations. The day trek to Gurso Bugyal opens up views of Trishul, Dron Parvat and Nanda Devi. Joshimath - the gateway to Badrinath - is the seat of one of Adi Shankaracharya\'s four mathas. The Joshimath - Auli chair lift can be added at own cost.
Rishikesh at ~415 m is the Yoga Capital of the World, where the Ganga exits the Himalayas. The evening Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat, the Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula suspension bridges, and the riverside ashrams along the banks are the classic stops.
If you want pilgrimage instead of sightseeing, the Char Dham helicopter packages are the senior-friendly default. If you want a higher-altitude trek, the Valley of Flowers options pair well with this Auli stop. If you would prefer a gentler 5N/6D circuit with no light treks - just plains and foothills - the Haridwar + Rishikesh + Mussoorie 5N/6D is the senior- and family-friendly alternative. For a longer family-friendly circuit that adds Mussoorie, Nainital and Jim Corbett, see the Mussoorie + Rishikesh + Nainital + Corbett 7N/8D. For the longest Auli-focused tour - 9 days covering Mussoorie, Joshimath, Auli, Rudraprayag and Rishikesh - see the Mussoorie + Joshimath + Auli + Rudraprayag + Rishikesh 8N/9D. If you want the same Chopta trek base extended into a full 9-day Garhwal arc, see the Mussoorie + Chopta + Auli + Rudraprayag + Rishikesh 8N/9D - same Tungnath / Chandrashila / Deoria Tal trekking, plus Mussoorie and the Panch Prayag.
