Apologies for my ignorance but this was so unexpected. I didn’t even think of checking if there was a metro operating in Delhi let alone one this clean and efficient. We did almost all of our moving around Delhi using the metro. We purchased the 3 day tourist pass costing 500 rupees for unlimited trips. Boy did we use those cards. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Delhi.

The best Metro in India. Loved the way they maintained with clean premises and friendly staff around. I went to the Airport from Laxmi Nagar and loved the ride of the superfast metro to the airport. I got out of the metro and surprisingly I'm inside the Airport unlike my city Hyderabad where I had to travel 20 kilometres to get to the airport.

The Delhi Metro is like a lifeline of the city, making travel convenient and efficient. It's clean, safe, and relatively inexpensive. Riding the metro is a great way to explore different parts of Delhi without getting stuck in traffic. Just be prepared for crowds during rush hours and make sure to buy a token or recharge your metro card in advance.

Delhi Metro (दिल्ली मेट्रो) भारत की राजधानी की एक जन परिवहन एवं कनेक्टिविटी प्रणाली है। दिल्ली मेट्रो को दिल्ली की लाइफ लाइन कहना अतिश्योक्ति नहीं होगी। शहर के कोने-कोने तक पहुंच चुकी दिल्ली मेट्रो ने दिल्ली के भीतर और साथ ही गुड़गांव, फरीदाबाद व नोएडा सहित अन्य जगहों तक एंड-टू-एंड कनेक्टिविटी प्रदान की है ।दिल्ली मेट्रो (Delhi Metro) में केन्द्र और राज्य सरकार की बराबर-बराबर हिस्सेदारी है। यह देश की दूसरी सबसे पुरानी मेट्रो है, पहली कोलकाता मेट्रो है। दिल्ली मेट्रो के पूरे NCR में 184 से ज्यादा स्टेशन है। इसके ट्रैक की लंबाई 251 किलोमीटर है। दिल्ली मेट्रो रूट (Delhi Metro Route) को इस तरह से डिजाइन किया गया है कि कोई भी महत्वपूर्ण जगह न छूटे। दिल्ली मेट्रो (Delhi Metro) द्वारा आस-पास के बाजारों, बिजनेस सेंटर व स्मारकों वाले प्रमुख स्थानों को कवर किया गया है। दिलचस्प बात यह है कि अक्टूबर 2021 में दिल्ली मेट्रो से हर दिन यात्रा करने वाले यात्रियों की औसत संख्या 28 लाख से अधिक हो गई थी। कोविड-19 महामारी के बावजूद, दिल्ली मेट्रो से हर दिन औसतन 6-7 लाख यात्री यात्रा करते हैं। (Translated by Google) Delhi Metro is a mass transport and connectivity system of the capital of India. It would not be an exaggeration to call Delhi Metro the lifeline of Delhi. Delhi Metro, which has reached every corner of the city, has provided end-to-end connectivity within Delhi as well as to other places including Gurgaon, Faridabad and Noida. Delhi Metro has equal participation of the Central and State Governments. There is equal sharing. It is the second oldest metro in the country, the first being Kolkata Metro. Delhi Metro has more than 184 stations in the entire NCR. Its track length is 251 kilometers. The Delhi Metro Route has been designed in such a way that no important place is left out. Major places like nearby markets, business centers and monuments are covered by Delhi Metro. Interestingly, in October 2021, the average number of passengers traveling by Delhi Metro every day had crossed 28 lakh. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, an average of 6-7 lakh passengers travel by Delhi Metro every day.

Delhi metro is the largest and busiest metro in India and second oldest after the kolkata metro.If you really want to save yourself from Delhi Pollution and crowd on the roads, it is the best way to travel. Get a Metro Card for smooth entrance to the stations, otherwise you will be wasting time in queues to get a ticket. If you are going to NOIDA or Gurgaon or to Ghaziabad, Metro is the best.Metros here helps commuters to cover distances. bestplaces2visit: here are the best places to travel and Less fair, easy to travel. Take less time to go from one place to other. Budget friendly and all the staff are too supportive . Metro station are also clean.in my three years, I used the metro as much as possible. It was a pleasant surprise for me to be able to take advantage of a structure such as the Delhi metro network: efficient and clean stations and trains, fast trains, a network that - alone or with the help of other means in the "last mile" - allows you to get anywhere.Most of the sites in Delhi can be accessed through the metro. The tickets are very reasonably priced. Even the peak hour crowds are less than Mumbai local trains and metro making the journey quite comfortable. There are ample guides and maps for the various lines. It is easier and faster to get a metro card if one has to make multiple trips.. Thank you 😊
Amit S — Google review
The Delhi Metro is very clean, reliable, fast, efficient, and so impressive. There is airport type security prior to entering the metro. There is a women's only carriage at the front which is enforced. No graffiti. Beware of pickpockets (but that's commonsense). The air conditioning is a bonus. It is a great way to get around Delhi. nice travel with metro where u can save time and money and reach ur destination as early as possible. thanks for the really nice and affordable service

Beautiful place, with free entrance - but rates apply for shows (takes about 2 hours). Note: no camera, phone , electrical devices and no cigarettes allowed - will need to be stored on-site. Expect crowd, but it's handled and systematic. Worth a visit, and average take 1-2 hours (exclude show time)

Akshardham Temple, Largest Hindu temple in world is a divine place. It's more than temple, it's actually a hub of great architectural designs that are carved on rocks and marble. Main things to see: ceilings of each dome inside temple, pillars and Mandovar. Great example of great and rich culture.

Its actually a masterpiece with very good architecture but they dont allow you to bring phone and camera inside

Akshardham An amazing beautiful peaceful temple. Must visit place if you are in New Delhi. Metro station also there and is just 100 meter apart. Akshardham is really beautiful the main temple is really beautifully crafted. The outer architecture is beautiful and also the inner marbel architecture was more than beautiful. The roof of the main temple is just amazing. The best and the most beautiful part is the main temple where the colors are too good. Note :- You can not take your phone 📱, camera 📷, so you have to stand in the queue to summit them in the cloak room. Secure cloak room 5/5. After the cloak room there is a security check which will be done in a minute you just have to remove your wallet and belt and that's it they will check you and let you pass. Strong security check. Best place to visit.

Goosebumps!! What a spectacular sight.... The beauty of this temple and its surrounding can not be described in words. Its just like a painting on a canvas. Even after so much of crowd, this place is yet very peaceful and relaxing for your soul. The light show and musical fountain add to the beauty of this place. MUST VISIT
Nikhil B — Google review
The architecture is undoubtedly breathtaking and this place is worth a visit. However the staff is rude, timings of rides and events are not mentioned correctly on the website and not allowing purses or phones inside is incomprehensible. Why should we be asked to return or have to leave our valuables insecurely in cabs. Why not be transparant and allow cellphones. And what harm can purses and bags do...just use security measures. Even airports allow bags, so why shouldn't this place!!!

Beautiful red stone Mughal architecture. Intricate details so well carved. Luscious gardens. Multiple museums. Takes you back to the history. Has a cafe inside too. As well as some market w various shops for jewellery shopping and etc. Highly recommend - wearing comfortable clothes and footwear, carrying water, sunscreen and umbrella (in case you are visiting on a hot sunny day)

Visiting the Red Fort during Navratri is truly a magical experience, where history meets festivity. The grandeur of this UNESCO World Heritage site gets an added charm with the festive vibes of Navratri. The massive red sandstone walls look even more majestic when lit up with decorative lights, giving the fort a vibrant yet spiritual glow. The evenings are especially lively — cultural programs, devotional music, and traditional dance performances create an atmosphere that celebrates both our heritage and the spirit of the festival. Walking around, you can feel the energy of people dressed in colorful attire, offering prayers, and enjoying the Navratri spirit with their families. The food stalls outside and nearby are another highlight, serving a mix of festive special vrat food and traditional Delhi street snacks. Whether it’s sabudana khichdi, kuttu ki puri, or a comforting chai, the flavors add to the overall experience. One of the best parts is the sense of unity you feel here. Tourists, locals, and devotees all come together to enjoy the festival in the backdrop of one of India’s most iconic monuments. The combination of historical richness and festive spirit makes it an unforgettable visit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — A Glorious Symbol of India’s Heritage! The Red Fort is truly a breathtaking masterpiece that captures the essence of India’s rich history and Mughal architecture. The massive red sandstone walls, grand gateways, and beautifully designed courtyards make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The museum inside offers a fascinating glimpse into India’s past, and the evening light and sound show is an absolute must-watch — it brings the fort’s history alive in a magical way!

Red fort - Delhi A true piece of architecture !!! Walls of the fort goes feets above and feets wider. Fort surrounded by the deep waters makes enemies difficult to enter. Through the main gate you can enter and then you can start seeing some amazing entrance walls. After that there white stone monuments where it's restricted to enter but you can see from closure look. There are meausems inside the fort and had amazing collections of history. You need minimum of 2 to 3 hous of time to see every architecture of the red fort. We took tour bus and rushing to see all the places but couldn't make it to meausems. Well mentained gardens and there are good facilities and sit and rest. If you're visiting during the month of March to September make sure you are carrying enough water and electrols. During winters it's best time to visit and wear warms cloths and enjoy the weather.

The Red Fort is a must-visit historic landmark, full of grandeur and rich history. The architecture is stunning and the atmosphere feels truly royal. I recommend going in the evening when the weather is cooler and more pleasant—afternoons can get extremely hot and uncomfortable. A great place to explore and soak in the heritage of India!

Entry exit of mall was really confusing. No escalator was working. PVR was good. However exit stairs were not clean. You won't have to waste anytime in looking for it. It's super easy to locate and reach inside. The seats are pretty good and the price is also reasonable for both 2d and 3d. They also provide offers for meals in the theatre that's a plus point if you're really hungry and don't want to spend too much in popcorn. The waiting area is very spacious and well decorated for those photo lovers, lots of posters of upcoming movies

First Mall of Delhi , ANSAL PLAZA MALL , is located near Pari Chowk, Amit Nagar, Sadarpur, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. When opened, Ansal Plaza was very popular among the shoppers and enjoyed the full success due to its Amphitheater, food court, and special offerings. Gradually it stopped attracting and inviting people when the new and bigger Malls started coming in the NCR with better amenities . It’s an example of very poor management and failure of management to adapt to changing customers preferences. Now the Mall is almost closed. Here ,in the case of Ansal Plaza Mall , The Darwin’s theory is 100% correct- Struggle for existence & Survival of fittest.
Umesh T — Google review
The existence of this mall raises questions, as it appears to be largely vacant. Shoppers are unlikely to find any useful goods or have substantial shopping options, and even when options are available, they are quite limited. The mall offers significant space, and management possesses the opportunity to implement changes relatively quickly, given its prime location.
Sahil V — Google review
This mall is just a big building with no actual humans in it. About 10-15 shops were there. The entrance is like a horror movie. The whole mall looks like it could turn into a horror movie anytime. Don’t recommend any girl to go there alone as it will scare you a lot.

The Grand Venice Mall

Shopping mall

Clothing store
The Grand Venice Mall, also known as TGV mall, is an Italian-themed shopping center that aims to recreate the magic of Venice. With its Venetian-style architecture, canals, and gondola rides, it offers a unique experience for visitors. The mall features replicas of famous Venetian structures like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Roman sculptures. It's not just a shopping destination but also an architectural delight and entertainment spot.
Great Experience. Amazing infrastructure, based on Italy theme. Too many shops and also a large food court to eat. Also, there is a game centre. Also, there is boating facility, which will cost you rs.300 per person on weekdays and rs.400 on weekends. Overall, a new and good experience.
ARJUN — Google review
The ambiance is uniquely calming and relaxing, thanks to the Venice theme. However, the mall is not well-maintained, with many areas showing neglect, and a large number of closed and empty stores make the atmosphere feel disappointingly deserted. Great concept, poor execution.
Prashant P — Google review
The Grand Venice Mall is praised for its unique Venetian-style architecture, including gondola rides on internal canals, a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and a vibrant atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the variety of shops, a large food court with diverse options, and entertainment such as movies and a live show. However, some downsides noted in reviews include the cost of the gondola ride, which is sometimes described as expensive for the duration, and the ongoing construction in some areas. Overall, it's considered a unique destination for a few hours of entertainment and shopping, though its appeal as a primary destination for serious shoppers is debated, especially for those in nearby Delhi. Positive aspects: Unique architecture: The mall is noted for its Venetian theme, including canals and gondola rides. Variety of options: Reviewers mention a good range of branded shops, a large food court, a movie hall, and other entertainment options. Atmosphere: Many find the ambiance to be aesthetically pleasing and a good place for family outings. Negative aspects: Cost: The gondola ride is frequently mentioned as being expensive for the short duration. Construction: Some parts of the mall are still under construction, which can be a drawback.

A unique Venice-themed mall with gondola rides, canals, and stunning architecture that really feels like Italy. Great for photos and a relaxed outing. Shops and food outlets are there, but on weekdays it feels quiet and less lively. Worth visiting for the experience more than shopping.

The Grand Venice Mall is a beautiful place to visit with family or friends. The Venice-style design, gondola rides, and wide range of shops make it a fun and relaxing spot. Great for shopping, dining, and spending quality time together. Truly one of Noida’s best malls! 🌸

Visited this mall with great expectations but got really disappointed. The place looks very old and poorly maintained. Paint is coming off, cracks on the walls, and hardly any shops are open. Feels like no one is taking care of it anymore. From outside too it looks dull and worn out. Such a big mall but completely wasted potential.
Abhi A — Google review
The Grand Venice Mall in Greater Noida is a unique and visually stunning shopping destination that stands out for its Italian-inspired architecture. Modeled after the canals and landmarks of Venice, it offers a picturesque and immersive experience with gondola rides, ornate bridges, and grand facades that make it feel like a European escape in the heart of India. The mall houses a wide variety of retail outlets, including national and international brands, making it a convenient place for both shopping and entertainment. From fashion and electronics to cosmetics and lifestyle products, there's something for everyone. The food court is diverse, offering a range of cuisines—from Indian street food to global fast-food chains—catering to varied tastes. One of the highlights is the indoor entertainment zone, featuring attractions like Snow Mastiii (an indoor snow park), a gaming arcade, and a multiplex cinema, making it a great family-friendly destination. Cleanliness, security, and ample parking add to the convenience. However, some parts of the mall still feel underutilized or in development, which can slightly affect the overall experience. Despite that, The Grand Venice Mall remains a must-visit for its aesthetics and range of activities. Whether you're looking to shop, dine, or just enjoy the ambiance, it offers a memorable day out.

The only nice mall in the city of meerut. Although it is quite far from my location it takes almost 30 mins to reach. But the experience here not less than the malls in other big cities. Thus it still lacks in the availability of many big brands. Mall is hygienic and cleanliness level is up to the mark. It also has cinema inside and it has newly opened gaming arena for kids. A must visit place in meerut as food court offers quality food and service.

Shri Baba Augharnath Shiv Mandir

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Shri Baba Augharnath Shiv Mandir is a reconstructed Shiva temple and pilgrimage site in Meerut, known for its ornate gopura gates and mythological carvings. This Hindu temple holds both religious and historical significance, as it was the starting point of the great revolt for India's independence in 1857. Located in the Cantonment area of Meerut, this renowned temple is a popular tourist attraction.
It is said that the tree under which Mangal Pandey and his companions planned the revolt of 1857... Was in this temple's premise. But even if you ignore the historical significance of it, the temple in itself is a brilliant piece of architecture, covered in marble stone. Such a luxury it was to visit the temple.
Super P — Google review
Shri Baba Augharnath Shiv Mandir, also known as the Augharnath Temple, is a deeply spiritual and historically significant temple located in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this temple is not only a sacred religious site but also holds a unique place in India’s history, as it is associated with the First War of Independence in 1857. It's often referred to as the "Kali Paltan Mandir" due to its connection with the Indian sepoys of that era. The temple architecture is beautiful, combining spiritual ambiance with historical reverence. The Shivling inside the sanctum is powerful, and the daily aarti rituals, especially during early mornings and evenings, are truly divine. The energy here is peaceful and grounding—a perfect place for meditation or quiet prayer. The temple premises are clean and well-maintained, with facilities like shoe racks, drinking water, and seating areas for elderly visitors. Devotees from all over India visit this temple, especially during Mondays and Mahashivratri, when the temple is beautifully decorated and filled with devotional energy. Useful Tips for Visitors: Visit early in the morning for a peaceful darshan and to avoid crowds. Mondays are especially auspicious for Lord Shiva, but expect a larger crowd. Keep your footwear at the designated area; the staff ensures it is safe. Photography inside the temple sanctum is generally not allowed—be respectful of the rules. You can offer milk, belpatra, and flowers, which are easily available from stalls nearby. Try to visit the small museum adjacent to the temple to learn more about its connection to India’s freedom struggle. Parking is available nearby, but it can get crowded during festivals or weekends—plan accordingly. Overall, Shri Baba Augharnath Shiv Mandir is not just a place of worship, but a powerful spiritual and historical destination that leaves a lasting impression. Whether you're a devotee of Lord Shiva or a history enthusiast, this temple is a must-visit in Meerut. Har Har Mahadev! 🕉️🙏

The Kali Paltan Temple in Meerut is one of those rare places where history and spirituality meet perfectly. Known as one of the oldest temples in the city, it’s not just a religious spot but also a symbol of India’s first freedom struggle in 1857. The peaceful atmosphere, the divine energy of Maa Kali, and the old-world charm make it a must-visit for anyone coming to Meerut. The temple is well-maintained, easily accessible, and surrounded by small local shops selling flowers and prasad. Early morning and evening aarti are truly powerful moments the sound of the bells and chants just lift your spirit. If you’re visiting Meerut, don’t miss this temple. It’s not just about worship it’s about feeling the strength and spirit of our history.

Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Perched atop the Neel Parvat in the Shivalik Hills, Shri Maa Chandi Devi Temple is a historic Hindu pilgrimage site with a rich legacy. Built in 1929, it is believed to house an ancient idol of the goddess dating back to the 8th century. The temple attracts devotees year-round and is known as a Siddha Peetha, where worshippers seek fulfillment of their desires.
Chandi devi temple located at hilltop of Neel Parvat was memorable experience. We went by ropeway to enjoy bird's eye view of Haridwar, Ganda river and surrounding hills. Early Morning Trekking is also good option to enjoy panaramic view. You can either buy combo of Mansa devi and chandi devi temple the only thing is you should be able to reach both temples on the same day if there's no long queues then it's easy. When we went in 2022 combo charges 324 rs per person while only chandi devi temple ticket charges 195 rs per person. Temple is clean and well maintained. Temple premises contains idols of lord kali ma, sankat mochan hanuman, Maa Annapurna, Santoshi Maa etc. This siddhpeeth is heavy crowded on festive like Navratri and holiday season. There are waiting halls at each levels and quite nice dining cafe inside and children game area to spend sometime. You'll find beautiful dress photography studies at all places in haridwar rishikesh masoorie.

We visited Maa Chandi Devi Temple and had a wonderful spiritual and scenic experience. We went up using the ropeway, which was truly enjoyable — the short 5-minute ride offered beautiful views of the mountains and the surrounding greenery. It felt peaceful and refreshing. After reaching the top, we took the blessings of Maa Chandi Devi, and also visited the nearby Hanuman, Anjana Mata, and Santoshi Mata temples. The place has a divine atmosphere, and the entire visit felt serene and fulfilling. Overall, it’s a must-visit place for both spiritual seekers and nature lovers. The combination of the ropeway ride and the temple’s peaceful ambiance makes it a memorable experience.

Ma Chandi Devi Mandir, located on the beautiful Neel Parvat hill in Haridwar, is one of the most sacred and enchanting temples in Uttarakhand. Dedicated to Goddess Chandi Devi, this temple is not only a significant spiritual destination but also a place that fills the heart with peace and devotion. According to mythology, the temple marks the site where Goddess Chandi defeated the demons Chanda and Munda, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. The journey to the temple itself is memorable. Devotees can either trek up the hill or take the ropeway (Udan Khatola), which is an experience in itself. The ropeway offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Ganga River, the lush green forests, and the entire city of Haridwar. As you ascend, the cool breeze and scenic beauty make the ride truly mesmerizing. It feels as if you’re floating above nature’s divine canvas. The temple premises are clean, well-maintained, and radiate positive energy. The aura of the Goddess, combined with the chants of devotees, creates a deeply spiritual atmosphere. Visiting Ma Chandi Devi Mandir is not just a religious trip—it’s a soulful experience that connects you with faith, nature, and inner peace. A must-visit place for anyone coming to Haridwar.

The ropeway to Chandi Devi Temple offers stunning aerial views of Haridwar, the Ganga river, and surrounding hills. The ride is smooth, safe, and takes just a few minutes to reach the top. A great experience for all age groups and totally worth it for the scenic views alone.
Joyita S — Google review
The temple is peaceful and worth visiting, but the overall management is poor. Ropeway waiting time is 1–2 hours and the area is overcrowded. Biggest issue is returning without your own vehicle — auto drivers refuse to go unless their big autos are full, making tourists wait for hours. Strongly recommend visiting only if you have your own transport. We recently visited Chandi Devi Temple in Haridwar and while the temple itself is serene and spiritually uplifting, the overall experience left us disappointed due to poor management around the visit. To reach the temple, you need to take the tram (ropeway) service, but the waiting time is extremely long — anywhere between 1–2 hours. The starting point for the tram is overcrowded, which makes the wait even more uncomfortable. There are some small shops for souvenirs, snacks, and games, but that doesn’t balance the chaos. Once you reach the top, there is a small hike via stairway to the temple. The stairs are divided into two sides — one for going up (which is in good condition) and one for coming down (which is poorly maintained and quite difficult to walk on). All of this could still be manageable, but the biggest problem starts when you have to return to your hotel or onward destination without your own vehicle. The auto drivers outside act like goons — they refuse to take passengers unless their large autos are filled completely, or you hire the entire vehicle even if you’re a single person. When I asked small auto drivers, they said they’re afraid of the big ones as they get threatened or beaten if they pick up customers from there. We ended up waiting more than an hour just to get back, which completely ruined the experience. The temple is worth visiting, but I strongly recommend going with your own vehicle. The authorities really need to step in and resolve this transportation issue, as it’s making tourists suffer unnecessarily.

Beautifully located on the top of the mountain with Har Ki Pouri beneath it. The road ,if you go walking, is all winding and will take a long time to reach the top. There is cable car service which is pretty crowded but well organised and takes you up in minutes. The view on the way up or down is awesome, with Ganga stretching out for a very very long distance, the Har Ki Pouri, the bridges, etc you can see and the majestic mountains surrounding the area. The temple was quite crowded and people were unruly pushing and pulling, no crowd control as such. Even the darshan was difficult as people were pushing from the back. Apart from the crowd control rest is good. Jai maa Mansa Devi. 🙏

Mansa Devi Temple in Haridwar is one of the most popular and sacred temples, beautifully located on the Shivalik hills overlooking the Ganga and Har Ki Pauri. Devotees can reach the temple either by walking on the winding path or by using the ropeway (Udan Khatola), which offers a stunning aerial view of the city and river. The temple gets quite crowded, especially during festivals, but the atmosphere remains deeply spiritual. Facilities like water points and sitting areas are available.

The cable car was a very good experience and offered good views. Keep hold of the ticket if you buy return. The temple complex is very cramped and offers no outside areas (unless you walk up??) The cable car waiting area was not full and the snack outlets in the temple were not open ,I assume it was a less than busy time so I dread to think how claustrophobic it would be when super busy! Shoe stand at entrance. Negotiating each little temple section without being dragged in easier as a westerner but do keep an eye on the rest of the group as we waited ages for" Tail End Charlie "at the the shoe stand on the way out!!

The temple is located on top of a hill accessed by a ropeway. There is some 15 minutes wait for the ropeway on crowded days. The charges are ₹190 per person and you can book ropeway for Chandi Devi temple too at a discounted package rate here. There is a sloping walkway also available. The views from the ropeway is breathtaking, but the approach to it is through narrow lanes in between houses and dilapidated structures. The Q system was good till the final steps to the temple. Then it became crowded and unruly, maybe due to Diwali week. You can buy some Prasad along the Queue which will be offered to the Goddess and given back. There is a place to keep footwear after the ropeway ride.

I visited this beautiful Buddhist temple in Dehradun and the experience was truly serene. The atmosphere inside is calm and divine, with monks chanting softly while holding their japa malas, creating a peaceful vibration that instantly soothes the mind.

The temple complex is very clean, well-maintained, and perfect for spending some quiet, reflective time. The area around the temple is also lively and enjoyable — great for shopping, exploring local handicrafts, and trying delicious Asian cuisine.

Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh is a significant spiritual site located on the banks of the Ganges River. It is considered the biggest and busiest ghat along the river, holding immense religious importance for Hindus. The evening Aarti, known as Maha Aarti, is a pure and sacred ritual that attracts many devotees. This ghat is renowned for its serene ambiance during early morning hours when visitors can witness the tranquil beauty of sunrise and experience a profound sense of peace.
Must visit place when you are travelling to Rushikesh. The aarti at Triveni ghat is a devotional experience. Reach early to get a good spot for attending the aarti. In winter months aarti starts around 6pm. After the aarti there is Bhajan where one can enjoy the spiritual connection.

I have vitnessed almost all famous aartis of GANGAJI at Haridwar and Rishikesh during the trip but Aarti at Triveni Ghat is One of the best Gangaji Aarti I have. View of Sunset is just refreshing. And only Aarti where everyone is allowed to do Aarti at Free of cost by the management. Management themselves provide Aarti thalis to many people and they shares thalis with each other so each and everyone can enjoy and participate at Aarti. And story doesn't ends here, Bhajan starts after Aarti and surely you will get goosebumps if you have vitnessed the joy. In short don't miss it if you are visiting Haridwar and Rishikesh.

Well managed. Entry is started at 5 pm for the Arti at 6 pm. Orderly queue is started at 5. People pay to offer 'special' puja, and they're allowed to/ are conducted fpr puja before the Aarti begins. It's well choreographed. Quite a spectacle.
Ajay S — Google review
A very beautiful place to be if you are spiritual. Usually a must visit when the Ganga Aarti happens. Usually during winters the Aarti happens at 5.30pm however it's important that you reach there 20 minutes earlier to get the front seats.

The Beatles Ashram

Mentioned on

Ashram
Sights & Landmarks
The Beatles Ashram, located about 3 km from Lakshman Jhula in Rishikesh, was once a quiet place for yoga and meditation under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. However, it gained global attention in 1968 when The Beatles visited to learn about Transcendental Meditation. Today, the ashram features Beatles art and graffiti. The area is a mystical campus with stunning architecture nestled in a forested area near the Ganges.
A calm and scenic place surrounded by nature, with old meditation caves and creative art on the walls. It has a peaceful vibe and is great for photography and quiet walks. But the area needs more care and maintenance. Many parts are broken, there’s no proper seating, and paths are not well-kept. Still, they charge an entry fee of ₹200, which feels too high for the current condition. The government should take better care of this historic place. Worth visiting once for the vibe and views, but it could be much better.

★★★★★ / 🌿 “A Timeless Melody of Peace, Art & Nature in Rishikesh!” 🌿 The Beatles Ashram (Chaurasi Kutiya) in Rishikesh is not just a historic spot — it’s a soulful retreat that beautifully blends nature, art, and the lingering legacy of music. Once home to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram, where The Beatles stayed in 1968 and composed many of their iconic songs, this place still echoes with creativity and serenity. Nestled on the banks of the Ganga and embraced by the Rajaji Tiger Reserve, the ashram has an otherworldly calm. Walking through its abandoned meditation huts, crumbling stone pathways, and moss-covered walls feels like stepping into a peaceful time capsule. The silence here is profound — you hear the wind in the trees, birdsong, and your own footsteps — offering a rare space for reflection and stillness. ⸻ 🌟 Highlights of the Experience • Historic Legacy: Knowing that The Beatles, along with other artists and seekers, meditated and created music here adds a magical energy to the visit. Fans of the band will feel the nostalgia instantly. • Street-Art & Graffiti: The ashram walls are covered with vibrant murals and Beatles-inspired artwork by international artists. Every corner feels like a living gallery that celebrates music and peace. • Meditation Huts (Chaurasi Kutiya): These dome-shaped stone huts are scattered throughout the ashram. Exploring them is fascinating — they feel raw yet inviting, and many still have an aura of tranquility. • Nature & Scenery: The ashram is surrounded by lush forests and offers glimpses of the Ganges. The air feels fresh, and the natural silence makes it a rejuvenating experience. • Peaceful Vibe: Despite being a popular tourist site, the ashram retains its calm energy. It’s a wonderful place for meditation, photography, or simply sitting under a tree and soaking in the moment. ⸻ 📝 Practical Details • Entry: There’s a nominal entry fee (for both Indian and international visitors) which is worth it for the well-maintained paths and restored sections. • Best Time to Visit: Early morning or late afternoon — the light is softer, the air is cooler, and it’s less crowded. • Duration: Ideally set aside 1.5 to 2 hours to walk, explore, and sit quietly. • Photography: The combination of ruins, murals, forest, and domes makes this a paradise for photographers. • Walkability: Expect a lot of walking inside; wear comfortable shoes as paths can be uneven. • Safety: The site feels safe and secure; there’s a forest vibe but nothing to worry about during visiting hours. ⸻ 💭 Final Thoughts The Beatles Ashram is more than a tourist destination — it’s a soulful pause in the rush of travel. Whether you come for its history, its art, or its quiet connection to nature, you leave feeling a little lighter and more inspired. ⭐ Overall: A must-visit in Rishikesh — perfect for music lovers, history buffs, meditators, artists, or anyone seeking peace amidst nature’s charm. ✨ Review by @the_solo_wanderer_ For more soulful journeys and untold stories, search me on Instagram 🌿📸

Recommended visit time needed approx 2hrs. Costs for foreigners is 1200 rupi. Located in a white corner of the mountain. Very interesting to see where the Beatles spent some time connecting to there inner self escaping all the worldly noise. You just walk around and feel the peace. Birds chirping. You see the bungalow where the Beatles stayed. You see a small gallery with a bunch of photos of the Beatles in the ashram. There is a Small canteen where you can buy drinks and lunch.
Moshe M — Google review
I finally visited this place on my third trip to Rishikesh. I had high expectations, but I left a bit disappointed. The road leading to the ashram is quite tricky and feels more like off-roading. There are no proper guidelines or directions about where to go first—you just end up wandering around the ashram. The place is huge, and the meditation domes made from river stones are quite interesting. Apart from that, there’s a small gallery near the canteen displaying photos from when the Beatles actually visited the ashram. Overall, I feel the ₹200 entry fee isn’t justified. With better maintenance and proper guidance, the experience would definitely be worth it.

The Beatles Ashram, Rishikesh A peaceful nature trail ideal for meditation and reconnecting with yourself. The walk through the woods is scenic and soothing, though the old huts (“kutiyas”) are now poorly maintained. The ticket feels slightly overpriced, but the calm aura and greenery make up for it. Don’t miss the canteen’s pahadi wali Maggi! 🍃 Wear comfy shoes and watch out for monkeys — a lovely spot for a long, mindful walk in nature.

The ruins of an old ashram in Rishikesh. You can spent around 2 hours to see it around. The stone caves for medition built of the hand picked pebbles from Ganga river is the highlight here. It's not well maintained though. It's part of s tiger reserve now.

Beautiful place. You will get some amazing pictures in your gallery after the visit. Prefer the winter season to enjoy it more.little huts looks beautiful and view of ganga river is good. Full network area , washroom at entry point and drinking water too. Carry your aadhar card for entry .

It's actually the chauras kutiya near Janki Jhula , and timings are till 3pm so one should know this everywhere it's mentioned incorrect, which wasted our time. Also there is a very- damn- best - beautiful view point at the end of the trail. You will reach there just go till the last. Bring physical ids, adhaar and student id.

I went ther recently with my friends to enjoy the weekend. We booked our hotel near ramjhula to enjoy the ganga view,also rafting and more adventure activities. As we know about ramjhula Ram Jhula is a long hanging bridge in Rishikesh built over the holy Ganga River. It connects two sides of the town and is used by people walking, cycling, and visiting temples. When you stand on the bridge, you can see the clear water, green mountains, and colorful boats.

It is a famous place to visit.

The most bustling place in Rishikesh where you need to visit once you visit Rishikesh. It's the suspension bridge and most of the famous ashrams are situated on either side of the Ganges once you cross the bridge. You can enjoy boating in the Ganges also, which is near this suspension bridge. There are plenty of eateries nearby where you can have lunch or quick bites. Visit with adequate amount of time for optimum enjoyment.

Ram Jhula in Rishikesh is truly one of the most beautiful and iconic places in the city. While it’s charming at any time of day, if you really want to experience its true beauty and peaceful vibe, visit after 8:30 or 9:00 PM. During the evening, the area can get quite crowded with pilgrims and tourists, but at night, the rush fades away, and you can enjoy the calm, soothing atmosphere by the Ganga River and the ghats. The illuminated bridge reflecting on the water looks absolutely magical — it’s a sight to remember. 🌙 The area feels completely safe for women and families, as police patrols are active and vigilant even late at night. There are no miscreants or disturbances, making it a peaceful place to stroll, sit by the river, or simply absorb the serene energy of Rishikesh. If you love quiet moments, twinkling lights, and the sound of flowing water, Ram Jhula at night will surely touch your heart. 💛

Since the closure of Laxman Jhulla to vehicular traffic, this iconic suspension bridge has become a bustling thoroughfare for both pedestrians and bikers. At any given time, the bridge is adorned with a lively crowd, creating an energetic atmosphere. The view from the bridge, overlooking the majestic Ganga River and the captivating sight of rafting activities below, adds to its charm. Approaching the Ramjhulla parking side, visitors are treated to a picturesque view of the Ganges. Toward the end of the bridge, on the left-hand side, lies Goa Beach, offering a serene escape along the riverbank. Crossing the Jhulla and continuing on the left, one encounters the road leading to Laxman Jhulla. On the right side, the area is adorned with renowned tourist destinations, predominantly ashrams such as Parmarth Niketan, Swargashram, and Sivanand. Notably, the famous Chotiwala restaurants are also situated on this side, providing a taste of local cuisine. The allure of Ram Jhulla is further heightened during the evening when the entire structure is illuminated, casting a warm glow across the surroundings. This nightly transformation enhances the bridge's beauty, creating a captivating ambiance that draws visitors to witness the enchanting play of lights against the backdrop of the flowing Ganga River. Ram Jhulla stands not only as a functional crossing but also as a symbol of vibrancy and charm in the heart of Rishikesh. Significance & Function Spiritual Hub: Connects important spiritual centers like Sivananda Ashram and Swargashram, making it a vital crossing point for devotees. Tourist Attraction: A major landmark that provides panoramic views of the Ganges, the Himalayan foothills, and the surrounding temples. Access to Ashrams: Provides easy access to ashrams and other religious sites situated along its banks.

Nice experience, Devine place, One can visit on weekends. When you will just cross Ram Jhula, turn left side (instead of right)100 meter, a beautiful view is waiting for you.you will find benches on the bank of Ganga or you go down on sand beach. Opposite to benches economic and good guest houses are available @₹700-₹3500. If you want go to some crowded place or market then turn right from Ram Jhula. There you may participate in ganga aarti, shoping, fooding, tea, coffee, etc. Yes, walking around is nice, when you reach Laxman jhula must enjoy Honey-ginger lemon tea.

Hanging bridge joints left bank of Ganga River to Right bank where Swargashram is situated. In Rishikesh it's about 500 metres long and 10 feet width. Two wheelers are strictly prohibited on this way.At the Rishikesh, when we reached at Ram Jhula,a group of 6-7 persons comes from Canada n leaded by Sandra,introduced by her to all members and talk 👄 😀 😄 😉 about their good and bitter experience in Haridwar and Rishikesh. Very calm, funny and pleasant group, so we share our journey n memories with them.

Kempty Falls Tour Review Visiting Kempty Falls in Mussoorie was an exhilarating experience. Nestled amidst the lush green hills of Uttarakhand, the waterfall is a perfect blend of natural beauty and adventure. The cascading water from a height of about 40 feet creates a cool, refreshing pool at the base, ideal for taking a dip. The journey to the falls itself is scenic — winding roads flanked by deodar trees and panoramic views of the valleys make the drive memorable. On reaching, there are small shops selling local snacks and souvenirs, which adds a charming local vibe. For adventure seekers, swimming in the natural pools or enjoying photography with the misty backdrop is a delight. However, it can get crowded during weekends and holidays, so visiting on a weekday might offer a more peaceful experience. Safety measures are in place, but caution is advised near the slippery rocks. Overall, Kempty Falls is a must-visit if you are in Mussoorie. It offers a perfect mix of relaxation, natural beauty, and fun activities, making it ideal for families, friends, and solo travelers alike.

A beautiful place to visit, weather it is with your beau, with friends or with your family. The serenity of the place is astonishing. The steps to Kempty falls is not so steep and is easily a short trek. The Kempty falls also provides a Ropeway cable for a price of Rs. 250/- per person (but all in cash) 😐. The snacks and food prices are a little steep but worth the climb. The Kempty falls also features boating area and a Drone camera facilities, on top of this, bathing facility is also there, where one can rent bathing suit for a price and enjoy.

Watching the sunrise in Mussoorie is truly one of the most magical experiences you can have in the hills. As the first light breaks over the mountains, the entire valley glows in shades of orange, pink, and gold — it’s absolutely breathtaking. The cool morning breeze, the chirping of birds, and the peaceful silence make it feel like time stands still for a moment.
Somesh P — Google review
Kempty falls is one of the best places to visit in Mussoorie. The water falls from quite a height and is rather a magnificent sight. The waterfall can be accessed by climbing down some 150 steps or by a ropeway. It is a series of falls and can be viewed from different levels. The approach to the fall has large uneven steps and is not well arranged or maintained. But there are a few places where you can bathe in the collected water. There are some food stalls around and you can sit and eat with your feet dangling in the cool water. 30-45 minutes should be enough to visit the place. Highly recommended.

🌄 Lal Tibba Scenic Cafe – Honest Review & Travel Tips Lal Tibba Scenic Cafe, perched atop Depot Hill in Landour, Mussoorie, is known for being the highest viewpoint in the region at 2,275 meters. While the location promises panoramic views of the Himalayas, my recent visit left me with mixed feelings. 🍽️ Food & Pricing The food served at the cafe is quite average and lacks distinctive flavor. Coffee lovers, beware—their brew was overly sweet and not customizable. There's a ₹50 entry fee to access the upper deck, which is redeemable against your order. However, it's charged per person and must be adjusted against individual items. So, if you're a group of three, you’ll need to order three separate dishes to redeem the full amount. 🌥️ Viewpoint Experience Unfortunately, the Himalayan range wasn’t clearly visible during my visit. For the best views—especially of peaks like Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Banderpoonch—plan your trip around November when the skies are clearer. The viewing area upstairs is quite cramped, especially during peak hours, and the much-advertised binoculars are disappointingly blurry. Don’t rely on them for a detailed view. 📍 Nearby Attractions Despite the underwhelming cafe experience, the surrounding area offers plenty to explore: - Char Dukan: A charming cluster of cafes just a short walk away, perfect for a relaxed snack. - Landour Bakehouse: A colonial-style bakery with excellent pastries and ambiance. - St. Paul’s Church: A serene, historic church nestled in the woods. - Kellogg Memorial Church: A beautiful landmark reflecting British-era architecture. - Benog Tibba & Naag Tibba Treks: Ideal for adventure seekers looking for scenic hikes. - Hathipaon Heritage Walk: A guided trail to “Mini Everest,” offering stunning views and local stories. 📝 Final Thoughts Lal Tibba Scenic Cafe is worth visiting for its historical charm and location, but temper your expectations regarding food and facilities. If you're seeking a peaceful moment with nature, consider visiting early in the morning or during the off-season. And for that postcard-perfect Himalayan view—November is your best bet.

A small three storied structure may be 250 sq ft each floor ground + 2 right on the cliff side with a binoculars installed at the top floor which is an open sitting area. The entrance charge is 50 rs per person which is adjusted against any food order that you place. The view is awesome as it's one of the highest points of Mussoorie. The hot food too was quite good, though you don't have much choice. The shop downstairs from where you enter has spices, honey, bee polen, etc kept for sale.

Lal Tibba is the highest point in Mussoorie and offers breathtaking views of the valley. The cafe has an entry fee of ₹50/- per head but it can be redeemed in your food bill. There is a telescope on the terrace and you can have your food enjoying the scenery. The food was limited to momos, sandwich, pizza, shakes,etc. and was a bit pricey. The Black coffee with honey was great . There is some local produce like red rice, bee pollen and rock salt for sale. Private residences of some celebrities are also located here. The normal road to Lal Tibba usually gets blocked and traffic is diverted by a very narrow and precarious road. Worth spending 1-2 hours there.

Review as of June 14: This place is 200 meters from St Mary's church. It is definitely a must visit and the best cafe in town. As you enter the cafe you can't help but notice antique things that adorn the shelves, quirky furniture. You are greeted by a warm smile and given a hand written menu. It is full of stories - Eg Anupam Kher visited them and gave them recipe of his favourite French Toast and its part of the menu They employ locals and encourage visitors to speak in Hindi so that they can understand. Service is awesome I liked the fact that whenever a celebrity visits them they actually put a paper taped to the chair with the name of the celebrity The view from the Window is breath taking.

Big thanks to Mrs. Shipra and Mr. Amit for arranging this lovely experience! I had requested them to book a lunch for our group, and they thoughtfully figured out the best time for us. This café is truly a gem — probably the only good one in Lansdowne. We were a group of 16, and they do take pre-bookings, which worked out perfectly. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the food? Absolutely fantastic. I think we ordered almost everything on the menu, and not a single dish disappointed us. The café isn't just about the food — it’s about the whole experience. They genuinely want every guest to enjoy it to the fullest, which is why arriving on time for your booking is important (and totally fair). Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Lansdowne.

Very bad Food. Menu is hand written but the price as per food quality is really bad. We as guests at their cafe found owner who was sitting at counter on the left when enter the cafe Mr. amit bit rude and unpleasant. He continues to make face when we requested cold coffee to be less sweet and pasta to have little more veggies. To place the order one have to go to Mr Amit table which is fine but he is not guest friendly person and restrict the people when they r chatting slowly in their group on food table. There are much better food options in lansdown. This cafe needs to look into hospitality warmness and good food options with reasonable pricing.

Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Surkanda Devi Temple is a Hindu temple located on top of a steep hill, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayas. Dedicated to Goddess Sati, it sits at an altitude of 3030m and can be reached by a 2km trek. Alternatively, visitors can take a ropeway for convenience. The temple is one of the 51 'Shaktipith' of Mata and hosts a popular annual festival.
Visiting Surkanda Devi Temple was a spiritually uplifting and scenic experience. The trek to the temple, surrounded by dense forests and misty mountains, felt both adventurous and serene. From the top, the panoramic views of the Himalayas were simply breathtaking. The temple’s peaceful aura and connection to local legends add a deeper spiritual charm. It’s a perfect blend of devotion, nature, and tranquility.

Visiting Surkanda Devi Temple was one of the highlights of my trip to Kanatal! To reach the temple, you’ll need to climb a short stretch of steps, and then you have two options: either take the ropeway (₹225 per person) for a quick ride up, or continue the scenic trek to the top. A quick tip: beware of the mischievous monkeys along the way, they’ve absolutely mastered the art of snatching snacks and bags, so keep your belongings close! 🐒 The temple itself is beautifully maintained, clean, organized, and peaceful. The moment you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Himalayas that makes every step worth it. You can easily spend hours here soaking in the serenity, admiring the architecture, and just being present in the moment. If you’re anywhere in the Tehri region of Uttarakhand, Surkanda Devi Temple is an absolute must-visit, a perfect blend of spirituality, nature, and scenic beauty. 🌄🙏

One of the Shaktipeeth where Maa Sati's head was said to be fallen. The temple is on a hill with amazing views from all sides. The trek not too long and properly paved can be steep in some places so recommended to take frequent breaks if your not used to the trekking. There is a option for cable cart but it was not operation during the time we visited (Mid Aug). At the top the air feels fresh and very calm.

I went for the evening aarti at Surkanda Devi temple and honestly it was such a peaceful experience. The whole place had this divine energy, and with the cool breeze blowing. The view from the top was just breathtaking – mountains covered in mist and the sky slowly turning golden. When the bells started ringing and the aarti began, it gave me goosebumps. Sitting there, with nature all around and the sound of prayers, it was truly mast and unforgettable

Surkanda Devi Temple, located near Dhanaulti in Uttarakhand, is a revered Hindu shrine and a must-visit for both pilgrims and nature enthusiasts. ​Key Points: ​Spiritual Significance: It's one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, where, according to mythology, the head of Goddess Sati fell after her self-immolation. ​The Trek: The temple is situated at an altitude of approximately 2,757 meters and requires a 2-3 km moderate trek from Kaddukhal village. The path is well-maintained and offers scenic views. ​Ropeway: A ropeway has been built to provide easy access for those who cannot or prefer not to trek. ​Location & Views: The temple is nestled amidst dense forests of deodar, rhododendron, and oak, providing stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks, including Chaukhamba and Nanda Devi. ​Best Time to Visit: The ideal time is during the summer (April to June) and autumn (September to November) for pleasant weather and clear views. Winters (December to March) bring snowfall, making the trek challenging but offering a unique, snow-covered landscape. ​Nearby Attractions: The temple is a short distance from popular hill stations like Dhanaulti, Kanatal, and Mussoorie, making it a great day trip. You can also explore places like Tehri Dam and various adventure activities in the region.

This is my once in a lifetime experience getting to the feet of Mata Surkanda Devi at 10000 ft above. There are two ways to reach the Temple. Trekking and Ropeway. We took ropeway as we were with Senior Citizens. Also the trekking is difficult. Taking Ropeway is also time saving. It's so peaceful above and literally above the clouds. Amazing experience.

Every morning view start with this famous and worshiped temple as I open my main door. Because as I look straight to the beautiful view I see the mountain on which this beautiful and famous temple situated. I often visit this place a year or 2 from my childhood. Foreigners and many other states people frequently visit this place because it's nearest to mussoorie the overrated place of uttarakhand and nearest to my beautiful town chamma or chamba tehri garhwal uttarakhand.

This temple is so beautiful; I just love going there. It has such a calming vibe, and sitting to meditate feels incredibly peaceful. Plus, the view from the temple's location is mesmerizing—you can even get a glimpse of the Himalayas! It's also one of the Shaktipeeths, and for those who can't walk, there's an affordable ropeway. It's definitely a must-visit if you live nearby and have the time.

One of the most turbulent rivers in Uttarakhand, legend has it that the force of the waters was tempered by allowing the waters to fall into Lord Shiva's locks of hair before merging with the ground. The sound of its waters can be heard from quite a distance and bathing in its ice-cold waters (in any season) is one of the most revelatory experiences. I bathed in its waters just before its confluence with the Alakananda at Devprayag. The surrounding high mountain ranges with their evergreen slopes etch a picture in one's mind that cannot be captured by any mechanical device.

Tehri Dam is such a beautiful place to visit! The views are absolutely amazing — you get a perfect mix of mountains, water, and greenery all around. It’s super peaceful and feels like a breath of fresh air away from the city hustle. The lake is huge and looks stunning, especially during sunrise or sunset. You can just sit by the water and enjoy the calm vibes, or go for a boat ride if you're feeling adventurous. There are also some fun water sports like jet skiing and kayaking if you're into that kind of thing. The drive up to the dam is scenic and smooth, and the whole area is pretty clean and well-kept. It’s a great spot for a day trip with friends or family, or even just to chill solo and soak in nature. If you're anywhere near Uttarakhand, definitely add Tehri Dam to your list. It’s one of those places that makes you feel relaxed and happy just being there. Highly recommend!

A very very nice place for enjoying water adventure activities!! Some people consider it as mini maldives. It’s about 110 km from Dehradun and 70 kms from rishikesh.. The way to tehri is very much amazing. It’s located ahead narendra nagar.. i love the views in the way🤟🏻 One issue in water activities is with water flyboard.. it’s cost is 3500 for 10 minutes. They provide well trained guide with a person less than 50 kgs. Above 50 kgs person have to perform that on ur own, and that’s unable to fly.. We tried and failed, and we seen many people getting fail from performing that activity correctly! So try on ur own risk..

Shri Tungnath Temple, Panch Kedar

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Tungnath is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, situated on a mountain peak 12,000 feet above sea level. The 2.5 to 3 mile trek to reach the temple is quite challenging but fulfilling and offers breathtaking views of snow clad mountains. Limited food options are available for visitors, but they can enjoy Maggi noodles while admiring the scenic beauty around them.
Easy trek of 4km. It took me 2 hours to reach the temple and one hour to get down. Chandrashila is further 2km trek from the temple. Where you will get 360° view of mountains. Its a good trek for all weather. If you like snow trek visit the place in Jan & Feb to have experience of snow covered trails. If you like flowers and colorful trek, this trek is full of Buransh flower in Mar and Apr. But the temple is closed from Nov to Apr. So during this period you can only enjoy trek and surroundings. While from May to Oct the temple is open and you can visit the temple. But wont get any good views like snow and flowers. So it depends on your purpose and choice. I visited this place twice. Once in Mar end and second time in Oct starting this year. Sharing pics for reference of both the season. For Chandrashila view, I would suggest to start the trek in night or early morning around 3am to see sunrise from Chandrashila. Or plan your trek to reach Chandrashila before 2 pm in the afternoon. Because after 2pm weather changes in mountains and there will be clouds and you won't be able to get any view as they are thick clouds and wont be clear after 2pm.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Mesmerizing Shree Tungnath Trek in October Trekking to Shree Tungnath Temple in October was an unforgettable experience! The weather was cool and pleasant, with clear skies offering breathtaking views of the snow-capped Chaukhamba and Kedarnath peaks. The trail was covered with vibrant autumn colors, making every step feel magical. The trek is moderate — not too difficult, but you’ll need good stamina, especially for the last steep climb towards the temple. Once you reach the top, the serenity and divine energy of Tungnath, the highest Shiva temple in the world, make it all worth it. If you start early morning, you can even trek further to Chandrashila Peak for an incredible sunrise view. October is the perfect month — fewer crowds, clear views, and pleasant weather. Highly recommended for spiritual seekers and mountain lovers alike! 🏔️🙏

Shri Tungnath Temple, the highest Shiva temple in the world, is an incredibly peaceful and spiritual destination. ​The main journey involves a challenging but rewarding 4 km uphill trek to Tungnath, which typically takes about 4 hours to climb. For those visiting both Tungnath and Chandrashila Peak and returning to the starting point, the total round trip time is approximately 8 hours. ​Trekking Details: ​Trekking Poles: Sticks for support are highly recommended and are readily available for rent at the starting point of the trek. ​Best Time to Visit: October is the ideal month for a visit, offering the most favorable weather conditions. ​Beyond Tungnath: ​For the adventurous traveler, the Chandrashila Peak offers another wonderful trek, requiring an additional 1 km climb from Tungnath for truly spectacular views.

Om Namah Parvati Patye Har Har Mahadev! Tungnath is the highest Shiva temple in the world, located at an altitude of 3,680 meters (12,073 ft) in the Garhwal Himalayas. The best time to visit is between September to November, when the temple doors are open for devotees. If you’re planning a visit, I highly recommend starting your trek early, around 3 to 3:30 AM. Trekking in the dark might sound tough, but the trail is well-maintained and much easier when it’s cool and quiet. Reaching the temple before it opens is a truly peaceful and spiritual experience. For those chasing sunrise magic, don’t miss the Chandrashila Peak trek, which is about 2 km from Tungnath. The views from up there — sunrise lighting up the snow peaks, and clouds swirling below you — are unforgettable. Take photos, make time-lapse videos, but don’t forget to carry warm clothes and shoes with good grip. There are a few local shops near the temple selling water, tea, and snacks. Yes, the prices are a bit higher — but considering the effort it takes to stock supplies at this altitude, it’s totally fair and appreciated. Photos and videos can never fully capture the beauty and peace of this place — it's something you have to feel with your own eyes and soul.

The view from the top, especially during sunrise or sunset, is unforgettable. The route is clean, and small tea stalls along the way help you recharge. Overall, it’s a perfect blend of adventure and spirituality — a must-visit for every nature and Shiva devotee.

Hindu temple

Nestled in the majestic Himalayas, Kedarnath Temple is an 8th-century Shiva temple and Hindu pilgrimage site adorned with Pali inscriptions and mythological scenes. Pilgrims embark on a soul-stirring journey through breathtaking landscapes, including the glacial lake Gandhi Sarovar, where Mahatma Gandhi's ashes were immersed.
It's a great emotional experience to reach here after a 16 kilometres trek. It may take 5 or more hours to reach the shrine depending on your stamina. *September* is the month you should choose to avoid heavy rush. At night Kedarnath can be too cold to hold. It's a high altitude place situated in the greater Himalayas. The temple is one of the most visited sacred places in India. It's one of the Char Dham Yatra temples in Uttarakhand and one of the 12 Jyotirlinga temples in India. Unforgettable divine experience... Do the registration online before you visit the temple for a hassle free Yatra. Jai Shree Kedar... Om Namah Shivaya... 😇🙏

I recently had the profound blessing of visiting Shri Kedarnath Temple, and I am still overwhelmed by the spiritual power and majestic beauty of this sacred place. It is, without any exaggeration, a 5-star experience that transcends any rating system. From the very beginning, the journey itself is a form of meditation. The trek from Gaurikund is undoubtedly challenging, but every step you take through the stunning Himalayan landscape, with the sound of the Mandakini River beside you and the chants of "Har Har Mahadev" all around, strips away your worldly worries and prepares you for the divine darshan. The moment I first laid eyes on the temple, standing strong and ancient against the backdrop of massive, snow-covered peaks, I was moved to tears. The entire valley vibrates with a divine energy that is palpable. The darshan of the sacred Jyotirlinga was the absolute pinnacle of my journey. The feeling inside the garbha griha (sanctum) is indescribable—a powerful sense of peace, history, and an immediate, personal connection to Lord Shiva. Everything about this place is magical: the crisp, cold mountain air, the sound of the temple bells, the morning aarti that echoes off the mountains, and the sense of unity with thousands of other devotees. This pilgrimage is not just a trip; it's a transformative experience. It tests your body but fills your soul. I left a piece of my heart in Kedarnath, and I brought back a sense of peace that I will cherish forever. I wholeheartedly recommend this divine journey to every single person.

"A place where faith meets the heavens — truly heaven on Earth." Kedarnath isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience that touches your soul. The temple stands tall amidst the majestic snow-capped Himalayas, radiating peace and divine energy. The journey may be challenging, but every step feels guided by something higher. The echo of temple bells, the chants in the crisp mountain air, and the sight of the shrine against the endless peaks fill your heart with gratitude and wonder. It’s a place where spirituality and nature blend perfectly — humbling, powerful, and unforgettable. Visiting Kedarnath is not just a trip; it’s a journey inward, one that reminds you of faith, endurance, and the beauty of being alive in such a magical corner of the world.

Kedarnath Mandir is truly a dream destination for every devotee. The moment you set foot here, you feel the presence of Lord Shiva in every stone, every chant, and every breath of the mountain air. The entire experience is humbling, refreshing, and life-changing — a perfect connection to Sanatan Dharma.📿🔱🏔️ The government has made excellent arrangements throughout the journey. Helicopter services are smooth, the roads are well-maintained, and there are clean toilets, mobile washrooms, shops, and places to eat along the way. The atmosphere is made even more special by supportive fellow devotees, welcoming locals, and bhajans playing throughout the route. The weather and scenery add to the divine feeling everything about the journey is comforting and safe. Even after reaching the temple, guest houses and lodges are very welcoming — some feel like home, with piping hot meals and warm hospitality. You can even arrange for darshan with ease. The temple itself radiates peace and devotion; it’s a place that stays with you forever, filling your heart with faith, calm, and awe.Kedarnath isn’t just a temple; it’s a complete spiritual experience, one of the most beautiful, devotional, and well-managed pilgrimages you can ever take. 🥰🥹🙏🏻

The Kedarnath Temple is an intensely spiritual and unforgettable experience, set against a stunning backdrop of snow-capped Himalayan peaks. The pilgrimage is described as a life-changing journey, but it comes with physical challenges, such as the long, high-altitude trek, crowded conditions during peak season, and unpredictable weather. The majestic setting of the temple, with the Mandakini River flowing nearby and peaks like Kedarnath and Kedar Dome in the background, is a major highlight. The scenery makes the challenging journey feel worthwhile.

It's a divine place and must visit place for those who believe in hindu mythology. To finish shri kedarnath track by foot you should have 3 to 4 days and if you have 2 days better to go with helicopter services from fata base. And most important is to book your hotel room in advance at kedarnath temple. Try to stay near to temple. Try to start your day at very early morning to avoid long queues and good open darshan of pindi.

Superb experience, awesome place to visit for friends and family. A point on the glacier where it gets converted into river is called the snout or mouth of the Glacier. One such famous snout of Gangotri glacier is called Goumukh or the source of Bhagirathi river - a tributary of Ganga. If one loves adventure and landscape photography then the Gangotri trekking is the best. There is a trek of 19 km from Gangotri to Gaumukh. It takes take around two days and two nights.
