Alternately, one can trek {{convert|7|km|abbr=on}} to Deoria Tal from [[Ukhimath]]. Even though, trekkers are no longer allowed to camp at the famous Deoriatal , there are options of jungle trekking, videography, etc. There are a couple of shops that sell tea and snacks, but these close at sundown. Trekkers usually combine this trek with the nearby trek to [[Tungnath]] (the highest Hindu shrine devoted to Lord Shiva) and [[Chandrashila]], which are approached from Chopta.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chopta.co.in/|title=Chopta travel guide with latest information on chopta trek, Uttrakhand|date=26 December 2013|access-date=10 January 2017}}</ref><br />
