The sacred Tungnath temple at an altitude of 3,680 metres atop Chandranath Parbat is the highest shrine among the Panch Kedars and marks the site where the arm of Lord Shiva appeared. The magnificent temple with a 16-door dome enshrines a Shivalinga and an idol of Adi Guru Shankaracharya. The temple of Nanda Devi is another important shrine at Tungnath. The peak of Tungnath is considered to be very sacred as it is the source of three springs which form the river Akashkamini. The site of the amazing Akashlinga waterfall is truly spectacular, as it seems to descend directly from heaven. The shrine of Tungnath closes during the winter and the priests move to Mukunath, about 19 km.
