Amit ji,
Tunganath is approx. 4000m (12000 ft) for sure. Chopta is 3000m (9000 ft) so it seems this is between Chopta and Dodabitta / Duggalbitta. I noticed that the flora here changes with altitude (and flowering period) esp. wrt rhododendron species and am extrapolating it for other flora also; Please confirm whether altitude is correct (2500m) or the name of the place ie. Tunganath.
