After strenuous trek of Kedarnath, we began our journey to the next destination 'Chopta'. On the way to Chopta we visited 'Ukhimath' the home of Lord Omkareshwar. This beautiful sight welcomes you on reaching Ukhimath. According to popular legend, Anirudh the great grandson of Lord Krishna got married to Usha the beautiful daughter of Asura King Banasur. Hence, the place was known as Ushamath. With passage of time, Ushamath has become Ukhimath. It is one of the Pancha Kedars and is the home for Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar during winter. During winters the festive idols of Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar are brought here and worshiped in this ancient temple of Omkareshwar. Seeking blessings of Omkareshwar, we moved to Chopta. Chopta is a beautiful small village around 30 kms away from Ukhimath with lush green meadows and evergreen forests unexplored by many tourists. This is considered as a mini Switzerland as it is completely covered by snow dur
