This temple is very beautiful, the view from here is also very beautiful and attractive. Here the body of Goddess Sati had fallen, so the name of this temple is Chandrabadani, it is in the Chandrakoot mountain, five stars are less for this temple. Jai Maa Chandrabadni.🙏

I was fortunate enough to have the darshan of mata.

Vibes like a heaven

Beautiful view... A place of peace and solace

Such a Holi place located near tehri dam.

The temple look has changed with time. The place around the main shrine looks like a modern temple.

This place is also known as shaktipeeth of Mata Sati. A beautiful track of about a kilometre full of mist and fogs when you reached to the top you feel the you are above on the cloud.☁️☁️🌨️

Wow awesome atmosphere, have good time while travelling

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.

The sound of turbulence of Bhagirathi river can be heard from around 1/2 km away when one drives through the mountains.. its tremendous.. Tehri dam, koteshwar dam etc are location on Bhagirathi river generating millions of watts of electricity for the region

What a beautiful,awesome & spiritual place Cannot described in words Feel it

I cannot imagine a second say to five star for the pious turbulant religious river. I took bath at performing asthi vishrarjan at Sangam at Deveprayag with Alaknanda. Some of the most fabulous times of my life. Vibes are ultimate.

It's a holy and beautiful river of uttarakhand and it's origin is from Gaumukh glacier. It's water is so cold and it form river Ganga at devprayag joining with alaknanda.

The place is very peaceful and tranquil

Very old temple, it's very nice and very peaceful.

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.

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.

This temple is located on Alaknanda river. This temple is surrounded by mountains and water it makes more beautiful and attractive.As per mythology the goddess changes her form three times a day. Dhari Devi is considered the guardian and protector of the Char Dham pilgrimage.

Its famous temple in Kumbha nagri Haridwar.. Mata chandi devi Temple located in Mountains.. Rope way also available.. Best Experience.. Must visit If you are in Haridwar..

★★★★★ / 🌿 “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.

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.

Looking for the perfect spot to relax a while around the Gange river, then this is something I would suggest. Just near the Ram Ghula, you would find the Ganga Mandir. Have the darshan and you would find the place where I had captured this photo.

Jai

Nice view but need well mantenance

Very peaceful place

Beautiful place

Serene , Calm and Believe

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.

Truly one of the best spiritual experiences of my life. Felt divine and calm attending the Ganga Aarti here. Too much crowded and if you need good places to sit, consider reaching there early. After Ganga Aarti you can sit at the ghats enjoying the peace and serenity.

Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh is a beautiful and peaceful place to experience the true spirit of the Ganga. The atmosphere here is calm in the mornings and truly divine during the evening Ganga Aarti. Watching the lamps floating on the river with the sound of chants feels magical. The area is well-maintained, and you can sit by the river to relax or take a holy dip. It’s one of those places where you feel peace and positivity all around. A must-visit spot for anyone traveling to Rishikesh.

Triveni Ghat is a truly spiritual and beautiful destination in Rishikesh. The evening Ganga Aarti is mesmerizing, with soulful chants and vibrant rituals that create an uplifting atmosphere. Sitting by the banks of the Ganges surrounded by mountains, you feel tremendous peace and positive energy. It can get crowded during the Aarti, so arrive early to get a good spot. The whole experience — from the holy dip in the river to the aarti and the nearby temples — makes Triveni Ghat a must-visit for anyone seeking serenity and divine vibes in Rishikesh.

Its a amazing experience to see ganga aarti there. Ghat is also good and clean. Maybe ut could be little bit crowded depending on any special occasion. But still it look peaceful.

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.

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.

Ram Jhula is one of the most visited places in Rishikesh. It's the way to Famous Ashrams like Parmarth Niketan, Geeta Bhawan, Beatles Ashram. Also you can go to taxi stand for Neelkanth Mahadev and also paidal marg for the same. It has beautiful ghats for Maa Ganga Snan. Very scenic in evening and night. Also breeze in the night on this bridge is very calm and serene. Best month to visit Rishikesh and Ram Jhula is October and November. Please do not litter on these Holy places. Be kind to all. Highly Recommended. Thanks

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. The wind feels cool and fresh. Many tourists come here every day to enjoy the calm environment. In the evening, the lights around the bridge make it look even more beautiful and peaceful. 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. What to Do There Walk or Cycle: Cross the bridge on foot or bicycle to enjoy the views and the serene atmosphere. Explore Markets: Browse the small markets at both ends of the bridge, offering souvenirs, local handicrafts, and religious items. Visit Ashrams: Discover the spiritual essence of Rishikesh by visiting the temples and ashrams that line the bridge. Photography: Capture the picturesque scenery of the river, mountains, and the bridge itself.

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.

Where Divinity Meets Eternity – Daksheswar Mahadev Temple, Kankhal In the serene heart of Kankhal, Haridwar, lies Daksheswar Mahadev Temple — more than just a temple, it is a place where myth and divinity quietly breathe as one. This sacred site holds deep significance in Hindu mythology, marking the place where King Daksha performed his yajna and where Goddess Sati, overcome with grief and devotion, surrendered herself to the sacred fire. The temple echoes the divine tale of Lord Shiva’s sorrow, the creation of Virbhadra, and the eternal love between Shiva and Sati — a story of cosmic energy, sacrifice, and spiritual union. Even today, the energy here is palpable — peaceful yet deeply powerful. As you walk through the temple’s corridors, you don’t just witness devotion… you feel it. The gentle chimes of the bells, the fragrance of incense, and the chants in the air transport you to another realm. It’s a place where time slows down, where the heart feels light, and where the spirit quietly bows. A must-visit for every spiritual traveler, devotee, or seeker of divine peace. Daksheswar Mahadev Temple is not just a destination — it’s a divine moment carved into the heart of Haridwar.

Nice wark.... 💯

This place is truly lovely and captivating, giving the impression of being a sage's ashram from the Styug era. Children are taught about their culture and Sanatana here.

Shanti kunj haridwar is the spiritual headquarters of the All World Gayatri Pariwar. there are palpable sense of peace and divine energy.it's spred over a large area.Visitors can participate in daily prayers, Gayatri Mantra chanting, meditation, and Yagna ceremonies.

shantikun Retreat Experience 🌿✨ In June, we visited Shantikun with our family and stayed for around 4 days. The environment was incredibly peaceful and serene, offering us a much-needed break from the hustle of daily life. 🌸 The people there were warm, kind, and spoke with such love and respect—it truly felt like a spiritual home. During our stay, we participated in Sharamdaan (voluntary service), took part in a sacred Hawan (fire ritual) 🔥, and even received Diksha (spiritual initiation), which made the experience deeply meaningful and memorable. 🙏 Overall, it was a soul-refreshing journey filled with positivity and tranquility. 🌞

It was such a great feeling of peace and happiness of mind, in the premises of Shantikunj. Full of greeneries and cleanliness inside the campus. A must visit for anyone visiting Haridwar. Only the entry process needs to be modernized. Digitized entry will make the entry process faster and smoother.

One of the worst places I have visited in my life, Its name should be Ashanti kunj. Reason - 1.Mannerless guards and other people. 2. Unheignic rooms or you can say halls. 3. Poor planning, you have to borrow Blanket and mattress from a central place and carry to your hall. 4. You can't buy water bottle from 9 PM itself ,u need to fill from water coolers. 5. No reason to stay here except free of cost , technically u should leave ur respect aside if u want to stay here. This place is not for young person who went to enjoy Haridwar, its for those who are only spiritual person. There buildings are clean but rooms were very unheignic and filled with manner less people. Kindly don't take your kids to this worst place, stay safe and take a good Hotel or refer some good and reputed Ashram if you want to live in ashram only.

Shantikunj Haridwar is more than just an ashram; it's a sanctuary of peace, spirituality, and selfless service that leaves a lasting positive impression. From the moment you step onto its well-maintained grounds, a palpable sense of tranquility washes over you, a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The serene atmosphere, coupled with the gentle chanting and the fragrance of incense, creates an environment conducive to introspection and inner peace. The teachings and philosophy of Gayatri Pariwar, which are at the heart of Shantikunj, resonate deeply with their emphasis on holistic well-being, ethical living, and selfless service. Participating in the daily yagnas is a powerful and uplifting experience, fostering a sense of community and spiritual connection. The volunteers, dedicated to their seva (selfless service), embody the spirit of the ashram, always ready with a helping hand and a warm smile. Beyond the spiritual aspects, Shantikunj also offers practical avenues for personal growth and well-being. The various workshops and training programs on topics like stress management, yoga, and meditation are invaluable. The well-organized and clean accommodation, along with the simple yet nourishing food, further contribute to a comfortable and conducive stay. What truly sets Shantikunj apart is its unwavering commitment to social welfare and the upliftment of society through initiatives in education, health, and environmental conservation. Witnessing this dedication firsthand is both inspiring and humbling. A visit to Shantikunj is not just a retreat; it's an enriching experience that rejuvenates the mind, body, and soul, leaving you with a renewed sense of purpose and positivity. It's a place where you can truly connect with yourself and the divine.

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. 🙏

mansadevi Temple is a peaceful and beautiful place in Haridwar. The view from the top is really nice and you can go by ropeway or by walking. Water and sitting facilities are available at almost every turn which helps a lot while climbing. No photography is allowed inside the temple and there are no entry charges. A proper shoe stand is also available. The temple feels very spiritual and calm.

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. Photography isn’t allowed inside. A must-visit for peace and divine blessings.

✨ Beautiful and peaceful experience at Maa Mansa Devi Temple. The temple is very well-maintained, and the darshan was smooth with no waiting time. The surroundings felt serene, and the overall vibe was truly divine. A must-visit for anyone coming to Haridwar. Highly recommended for a calm and spiritually uplifting experience. 🙏✨

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.

The mansa devi trek is pure bliss! Amazing views and a perfect trail." ​"Loved every step! The view from Maa mansa devi s absolutely worth the climb. 6/10 track!" ​"Incredible track, incredible view! Feeling blessed at Maa mansa devi." ​"This trail has the best line and the best sights! Truly happy with the mansa Devi Darshan."

Tehri Dam is an impressive feat of engineering and a sight to behold! The sheer scale of the dam and the vast reservoir it creates are awe-inspiring. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, offering stunning views of the Himalayas… It's a great place to appreciate both nature and human ingenuity. A must-visit for those interested in engineering marvels and scenic beauty♦️

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 the highest dam in India and one of the tallest in the world, standing at 260.5 meters. The dam is part of a multi-purpose project. We are so excited to visit there and it's really an amazing experience.

I am very interested in visiting the Tehri Dam and seeing it for myself. While it serves as a source of electricity and water management, it is also utilized by Uttarakhand tourism as a location for adventure. There are many boating activities available. I have observed visitors thoroughly enjoying themselves while participating in activities such as jet skiing and motor boating.

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..

Nice view peace wind and water sports many activities dam view must visit once in life highest dam in the world rock earth dam

Average.

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

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.

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 architecture and artwork around the temple are stunning, reflecting traditional Buddhist craftsmanship and incredible attention to detail.

The area around the temple is also lively and enjoyable — great for shopping, exploring local handicrafts, and trying delicious Asian cuisine. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for both spiritual seekers and travelers looking to explore something unique in Dehradun.

The monastery has a spacious area and beautiful scenery. I arrived in the late afternoon, so I didn’t have enough time to explore everything. There’s a shoe storage area that charges 3 rupees per pair, but it wasn’t operational when I visited. There are many wooden chairs for visitors to rest. Everything is wonderful.

Robber’s Cave in Dehradun is a naturally beautiful spot—a narrow gorge with a stream running through it—but honestly, it didn’t feel as peaceful as I’d hoped. The place was overcrowded, which took away from its natural charm and made it hard to enjoy the serene vibe I was expecting. The rock formations and cold water are impressive, and it could be a lovely experience if you manage to go at a quiet time. But if you’re looking for a calm, reflective escape or somewhere to just breathe and soak in nature, this isn’t the best choice on busy days

After spending days in the hills, visiting Gucchipani felt like a refreshing little adventure. The place is known for its natural cave formation where a cold stream flows right through the rocks — and walking barefoot in that crystal-clear water is pure fun. As soon as I entered the narrow cave, the temperature dropped and the sound of running water echoed beautifully. Sunlight peeking through the gaps above created a magical vibe. It’s not a long trek, but every step inside feels like walking into nature’s own secret tunnel. The water was icy cold — perfect to beat the heat — and it was amazing to just sit near the waterfall at the end, dip your feet, and let the calmness sink in. Outside, there are a few small cafes serving Maggi, chai, and pakoras — the perfect mountain snack combo after the walk.

The crowd ruined the experience as there was hardly any space to truly appreciate its beauty. The cave was overcrowded, and the water flow was minimal—made worse by the number of people, making even the dirty water hard to see. The ticket price is ₹30 per person. It’s better to go on foot, as the route is not suitable for cars or other vehicles. To enjoy it properly, avoid visiting on weekends or during rainy days.

A beautiful and unique spot in Dehradun! Robbers Cave (Guchhu Pani) is perfect if you enjoy nature and a bit of adventure. Walking through the cold stream between high rock walls is an amazing experience — super refreshing, especially in summer. The place is easy to reach and has basic facilities like changing rooms, lockers, and food stalls nearby. However, it can get quite crowded on weekends and cleanliness could be better. Try to visit early morning for a calmer vibe. Avoid going during heavy rains as the water level rises quickly. Overall, a must-visit place for a short getaway or a fun day with friends and family.

It’s a good natural place to visit in Dehradun. You can walk through the natural caves in the water and if you keep walking in the end you get of caves but can still walk with the stream. There are some spots to jump in and play in the water. Near the entrance there are so many shops selling swim clothes, renting flip flops and providing locker and changing room service. It’s very popular place and hence very crowded. There is plenty of parking space but since it gets crowded it can hard to find a parking spot. I would suggest coming early in the morning to avoid the crowds and also have enough time to explore. The river can be dangerous and is prone to flash floods. Be careful in rainy season and follow the advice of the staff.

It's a very beautiful & amazing place to hang out with your loved ones. Once you enter you'll be mesmerized by it's scenery & you can take dive into the waterfalls. The ticket price is 35rs for adults but the drawback is they only accept cash no option for online, so you better carry the loose money. Entry was smooth as we went there early so there was no rush as such. You have to wear slippers because of the waterfalls. You can rent the slippers as there were many sellers. The best time to visit there is summers. Hope you all find this helpful 🙏 🙏

A must-visit place in Dehradun! Gucchupani (Robber’s Cave) is a truly unique spot where you can walk barefoot through cool, flowing water between beautiful natural rock formations. The whole experience feels refreshing and adventurous at the same time. The water is crystal clear, and the surroundings are calm, making it a perfect escape from city life. It’s best to visit in the morning or late afternoon when it’s less crowded. Carry an extra pair of clothes and slippers, as you’ll definitely want to wade through the stream. There are also small eateries nearby for snacks and tea. Overall, a peaceful and fun experience with family or friends — highly recommended if you’re in Dehradun!

Great place for devotional visitors. Has a large parking spot in an open ground and a lift is there to bring people to and from ground area. ##Caution for 4 wheelers## Google maps shows incorrect way to the temple , from near ShuttleZone Badminton and HM Gate Garhi Cantt. The road ahead is extremely narrow and it is instead recommended to go from Tapkeshwar road from Garhi chowk instead. ##### There are around 3 distinct temples in the area. It was heavily damaged in sep-oct 2025 floods but temporary and secure bridges have been built to navigate and renovation is ongoing without hindrance to visitors (Nov 2025). The two cave like temples are in natural (or probably natural like) caves and require ducking and slight crawling.

The name Lal Tibba means "Red Hill", it is the highest point in Mussoorie. From here, you can get a great view of the surrounding peaks. It is located at the top of Landour and is a popular tourist destination. It is a great place for picnic. The peak is beautiful and the surroundings are scenic. The best time to visit the Lal Tibba is during sunset or sunrise.

🌄 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.

Beautiful place and must visit if you visit mussoorie, they offer great service and memorable experience for a life time. Place get very busy during day. They charge 50 rupees per person as a entry fees and you can use it when you order something from them, which is very reasonable as everyone wants to get inn and place is very small. Highly recommend place

A haven..Lush greenery, serene silence, and endless walking roads. Cycled to the majestic main building,which was classic explored hidden forest trails and enjoyed bird watching. A nature lover's paradise. Perfect spot for peaceful walks, cycling and connecting with nature. Highly recommended for a refreshing escape from the city's chaos.

10/10 place. I went there for just hanging out. The weather inside is amazing. Beautiful scenery. You can roam around the whole place. Imagine how the movies were shot there. See the rich history of the building. The pictures I shot were pure gold. There is also a ticket to enter of ₹25 and I suggest you to take your own personal vehicle there but it is not a necessity.

It was an unexpected but mesmerizing visit we went Walked a little but the buildings caught my attention that was something Specially museums are very attractive and well decorated with history and past of country's forestry and people life in forest

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.

Highly recommended for both devotees and travelers. 🙏
