- Trek distance: 32 km round trip for Kedarnath (16 km one side from Gaurikund) + 7 km round trip for Tungnath-Chandrashila (3.5 km one side from Chopta); Badrinath has no trek — just a 0.5 km walk
- Highest point: Chandrashila Summit (12,750 ft) — higher than Kedarnath itself
- Best season: May–June and September–October for the clearest views
- Winter: Kedarnath and Badrinath closed November to April due to heavy snow; Tungnath closed with the idol shifted to Makku, though Chandrashila can be done as a snow trek in Jan–Feb with a guide
