Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 11243961 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the Wave I-1 evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-18). Water, season, hazards, and trail visibility were not sourced. SAC is OSM-sourced hiking with max mountain_hiking (T1–T2, ODbL, lastVerified 2026-09-18); YDS is the site cross-walk, still provisional.

OSM 2D length is 4.08 km (OSM line, ODbL, relation 11243961, lastVerified 2026-09-18). Provisional — OSM 4.08 km; corroborated by Uttarakhand Tourism 5 km (https://uttarakhandtourism.gov.in/destination/chopta, accessed 2026-09-18). OSM name=Tunganath. This is not Chopta–Pokhri 12082788 (or 12257347 / 12140423) — related roadhead approaches, not folded. OSM tag=TNG is an UltraJourneys shield, not OSM ref, and not the trail name.

typicalDays 1 is Math.round(lengthKm/12), a placeholder. Days are unknown on the evidence sheet and stay provisional.

High 3,672 m is Copernicus GLO-30 (lastVerified 2026-09-18). Wikipedia cites Chandrashila at 4,000 m (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrashila, accessed 2026-09-18, CC BY-SA) — Δ328 m; geometry may end at Tungnath. Record the DEM high; treat 4,000 m as a landmark, not this DataPoint. Low 2,873 m is the same DEM resample, verified. Ascent 808 m / descent 10 m remain provisional DEM.
