⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Tungnath Temple is an absolutely divine and breathtaking place — truly a gem in the Himalayas! 🙏 It’s the highest Shiva temple in the world and surrounded by stunning mountain views that leave you speechless. The trek to the temple is moderate and filled with mesmerizing scenery — snow-capped peaks, meadows, and clouds floating right beside you. The peaceful energy at the top and the view of the Himalayas from there make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience 🌄. A must-visit for both devotees and nature lovers!

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.

Peaceful and Divine Experience at Tungnath Temple Tungnath Temple is truly a heavenly place! The trek to reach it is short but steep, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and fresh air. The silence, the sound of wind, and the divine aura of Lord Shiva make the entire journey worth it. Once you reach the temple, the feeling is beyond words — peaceful, pure, and deeply spiritual. 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.

Tungnath Temple is the world's highest Shiva temple, located in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India, at an altitude of 3,680 meters. It is part of the Panch Kedar pilgrimage and is accessible via a scenic trek from Chopta, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayan peaks. The 1,000-year-old temple is significant for its spiritual importance, and according to legend, it is the spot where Lord Shiva's arms appeared after he transformed into a bull to escape the Pandavas.

Visiting Tungnath Temple, the highest Shiva temple in the world, was an experience filled with peace, adventure, and breathtaking beauty. The atmosphere at the temple is peaceful and spiritual. I highly recommend starting your trek early, around 3 to 4 AM. Take some water and food with you. Har Har Mahadev 🙏

Auli ropeway or Gondola is the worth having experience when you're in Auli. It's an open flying trolley that takes you to the top and you witness breathtaking mountain views. Price per person is Ra.500/- only. You can do several snow adventure activities like Skiing, sledging, trekking etc when you reach the top.

Its the most unique experience. Ropeway costs 1000 and 500 for chair car incase you have reservations. Its a 25 min ride and the most enticing experience. You can see all snow tops. Beautiful scenery. . Tickets for ropeway gets booked easily and it closes by 4. So keep your timelines scheduled.

The longest ropeway in India.A full 25 minutes of hanging over some of the most picture-postcard perfect locales ever. We took it a total of four times during our five days stay there. The staff is helpful the gondola has a standing-only place and in case you want to go to the Auli ski resort you get down at a pillar before the end and take a rickety lift six floors down and then take the ski lift to the resort. The experience of sitting with your legs dangling and nothing but a bar between you and everything else around you ( in the ski lift) is like being in another world altogether. Even if you are not booked into one of the resorts in joshi math, please take this trip up to auli . It's worth every minute and every rupee sent on it

Nice place to visit. It’s very beautiful to visit both in winter and off winter. There are variety of flowers in this place. They looks so mesmerizing. After the rope way we took mule ride to see flowers. It was so beautiful. One must visit.

We went there but couldn't experience it. It's very important to get online booking done if you are choosing a crowded day like new year. Also, the offline booking portal opens at 9 am. So if you haven't got online ticket, try buying it offline early morning.

The true beauty of this place can be enjoyed only during peak winter that's when the entire area is covered in snow and winter sports like 🎿 is very popular. If the sky is clear and visibility is good then you would be able to see some of the peaks. Coming back to the ropeway it's a joy ride for sure but on the expensive side. The counter accepts payment in cash only (as usual in most part of UK and UP). Be aware that though there is a departure and return schedule the cable car won't take off until they have 20-25 people. The ground staff will ask you to enjoy pakoda and wait for your turn. The ride it self is good and takes ~ 21 mins one-way. After reaching the peak you can roam around and enjoy the view , take a pony ride or simply sit back and enjoy pakoda again :-).

This ropeway has two places to board. One is from Joshimath which is closed cabin and you have to go standing and maximum people allowed in cabin ropeway taxi is 25 people. This ropeway taxi goes at the maximum altitude of 10200 feet from where you can view Nandadevi, Trishul, Hathi ghoda Palki and many more peaks. Another ropeway to board is from Auli, which is open sitting seats and four people can sit on it.

Must visit places when you are in kaunsani. Temples are very old and the power you will feel is amazing. The parvati statue inside the main shrine is amazing. 26 avatars of parvati are carved on sides. The lake is good and you can go boating there.

The temples are well-preserved and offer a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious history of the region. The priests are warm and welcoming, adding to the spiritual charm of the place. The nearby river and lush greenery further enhance the tranquil experience. A must-visit for anyone looking to connect with nature and spirituality. Highly recommended!

Baijnath is very famous for the ancient temples and historical importance. The temple is located on the banks of the beautiful Gomti River, in the Bageshwar district (Kumaon region), Uttarakhand. The temple is dedicated to the Lord Vaidyanatha (Lord Shiva as the Lord of physicians). It is said that (euttaranchal.com) the temple was built by the Kumaon Katyuri King in around 1150 A.D. This is a temple complex with the idols of Shiva, Ganesh, Parvati, Chandika, Kuber, Surya and Brahma. The enchanting view of the Himalayan peaks is great seen from this place, particularly the Sun-rise and Sun-set reflections on the mountain. We have visited this place in the month of October with a clear sky all the time. It’s a must visit place

Shridhar Baijnath Group of Temples – Serene Heritage by the Riverside If you're traveling from Kausani towards Munsiyari, the Shridhar Baijnath Group of Temples makes for a perfect cultural and spiritual stopover. Located just about 16 km from Kausani in the peaceful town of Baijnath, this ancient temple complex sits beautifully along the banks of the Gomti River. It's not just another temple visit — it's a moment of connection with Uttarakhand’s rich history and timeless architecture. Dating back to the 12th century, the temples are known for their exquisite stone carvings and tranquil setting. There's a calmness in the air, and the view of the surrounding hills adds to the peaceful experience. It’s a great place to stretch your legs, soak in the heritage, and click some memorable photos. The temples are dedicated primarily to Lord Shiva (Baijnath), and the complex features beautiful stone-carved shrines and idols that reflect the rich architectural heritage of the Katyuri dynasty. It's not very crowded, making it a perfect place to sit, reflect, and connect with nature and history. This stop also fits naturally into the route to Munsiyari via Bageshwar, Chaukori, and Birthi Falls. It adds both spiritual value and a refreshing break during the long road journey. You don't need to spend hours here — even a 30-45 minute pause is enough to admire its beauty. This site is not just a religious stop but a cultural gem worth visiting for its peaceful aura, beautiful setting, and ancient artistry. Highly recommended for anyone interested in history, culture, heritage, serenity and a slice of Uttarakhand’s spiritual past or just some quiet time amid nature.

Temples or group of temples said to be made by pandavas are on unique place and The Baijnath Temple is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located in Baijnath town in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the state and is known for its unique architecture and historical significance.Built in the Nagara style of North Indian temple architectureThe temple is adorned with intricate carvings of deities, floral patterns, and mythological scenes

The temples are ancient and worth visiting. Located on a promontory jutting over a bend of the Gomti river, the temples beauty has been enhanced by damming the river and creation of a lake. Sadly the landscaping around the lake is in poor taste, with ugly architecture and gaudy pedal boats, totally out of sync with the ancient architecture of the temples. Encroachments around the temple overshadow the temples themselves. This place holds a lot of promise, as a spiritual destination, as a recreational zone and as a birdwatching nature reserve. A lot of effort is required to make this a tourist destination. At the moment, Baijnath, with its ugly, poorly constructed buildings has no town planning and nil building regulations. It's a surprise anyone would wish to come here, or having come unwittingly, stay for long.

Har har mahadev. A heritage pilgrim sight of our Sanaatan dharm. Mahadev and Parvati maa temple built here around 9-12th century. The construction is remarkable. Baijnath Barrage is situated next to it . A small lake is made where dishes and snakes can be sighted. Very postive aura ina and around temple. The parking space is huge. 50/- for car. Situated on main road.

Rudradhari Waterfall in Kausani is a stunning natural spot, perfect for trekking and adventure lovers. Surrounded by lush green hills and ancient caves, the easy-to-moderate trek to the falls offers breathtaking views and a peaceful escape into nature. Ideal for those seeking a short, thrilling getaway amidst the beauty of the Himalayas.

Rudhradhari temple and waterfall, both are exceptional places. I went during monsoon which made the trek lush green and waterfall full of flow. Had a bath, visited temple, with no rush at the place. Vibe of this place is unbeatable if you're looking for a spiritual or a peaceful experience.

Beautiful drive through the Kumaoni countryside from Kausani and then a 1.5km walk alongside creek through the forest to falls (underwhelming) and temple. Quiet, peaceful and there are food places at the start of the walk.

From my experience the best time to visit the Rudradhari Falls would be during the monsoon or later May. There is a beautiful trek of about 1.5KM. The waterfall has a Shiv Temple adjacent to it. There are many Eateries before the trek but none on the way. The water is clean and cold. Must visit! Neil's Tip:DO NOT VISIT DURING SUMMERS

Hidden waterfall with good story to hear from locals. Peaceful place with a small trek to reach.

This temple is inside a cave deep in the forest. The hike to the temple is a short yet lovely one. Especially if you start very early in the morning. I had a great time hopping boulders, crossing streams, picking up Rhododendron flowers and clicking ton of pics. A must do hike if in Kausani, but not for the seniors who may have joint pain or are not used to hiking.

Was here during heavy rains and the trek seemed not so easy. We hired a guide who charged us 300 after a little bargaining. But the guide was worth it and he also helped with our 2 year old kid. We had to cross 6 streams out of which 2 were knee deep as the river was little flooded. It was worth the visit once we reached the waterfall which also had a heavy flow. We visited during peak monsoon and you would need to check for leech everytime you cross the stream. Definately the trek was worth it once you reach the temple. Please note there is no Jio or Airtel network at this place.

A quiet and peaceful place with beautiful mountain views. Entry is free, and you can spend 1–2 hours here. Quite high parking fee required for four-wheelers, but space is limited. I would recommend it for a one-time visit if you're in Kausani and got spare time.

What a great place. I will suggest you all visit this place in morning then you will able to see clear view of himalayas and its so beautiful. Very peaceful place. The ashram is located at a convenient distance of a kilometre from the Kausani bus stand. Gandhiji spent a number of days here in 1929 and a lot of people come to this place following in his footsteps. Local legend proudly suggests that Gandhiji was so besotted by the natural beauty of the place that he exclaimed that this was truly the Switzerland of India. He is believed to have been working on his theory of Anasakti Yoga, which preaches the belief in the philosophy of non-attachment to the material world. There is a small prayer room in the ashram, where prayers are held every morning and evening. Much like in the rest of the Kumaon region, sublime views of the Himalayas are abundant and omnipresent. The quietude and serenity of the spot is disturbed by little else and heightened by the locally popular reading library. The ashram also features a small archive-like museum that showcases photographs of Mahatma Gandhi’s stay here along with other paraphernalia associated with him. There is also a study and research centre in the ashram, which work towards taking Gandhiji’s philosophies forward. For those looking for an immersive experience, there are a small number of rooms available that can be rented.

It's a great and peaceful place. You may stay here as well. They have cottages and rooms to stay and food on very reasonable prices.

The place is very serene & tranquil with a lot of history attached to it. It is at this very place that Kausani came to be fondly know as the mini Switzerland of India.

In 1929, Gandhiji came to Kausani for two days but he liked the place so much that he stayed here for 14 days and completed the book Anashakti Yoga. Because of this book, this guest house was named Anashakti Ashram. This place is very beautiful and one can get a panoramic view of the Himalayas from here. Kausani is a small village but a very peaceful place.

Serene place where Gandhi ji once stayed....there's a small museum and meditation place. Views of surrounding hills and valleys mesmerizing...

If in kausani I would suggest spending few minutes here.

Garjiya Devi Temple in Ramnagar is truly a hidden gem! The location is absolutely beautiful, and being right by the riverside adds a serene charm to the whole experience. It’s not just a spiritual place but also an awesome spot for a picnic with family and friends. However, one concern I had was the littering around the river. It takes away from the natural beauty and peaceful vibe of the area. I really hope visitors become more responsible, and some proper dustbins and awareness signs are put up. Also, having toilets easily accessible below the bridge would be a great help. It would ensure cleanliness in the temple premises and make the overall experience even better. Highly recommend visiting, but let’s all do our part to keep this place clean and beautiful!

This is a beautiful temple located by the riverside, surrounded by a serene and scenic environment. The location is excellent, and you can even take a bath or play in the river. To reach the Devi, you’ll need to climb some steep steps, but it’s truly worth it. An excellent place to visit, though weekends can get crowded.”

A truly memorable moment at one of the best temples—beginning with divine darshan and receiving the sacred prashad. After offering prayers, sitting peacefully by the riverside brings unmatched calm. The crystal-clear water flows gently, so pure you can even drink it. A perfect blend of devotion and serenity.

Girijia Devi Maa temple, located near river at very high, you have to climb straight high stairs, after coming down your legs will shiver. Nice and beautiful place all around the temple with river.

Beautiful temple located near the riverside with amazing views all around. There are a couple of steep stairs to reach the temple and it can get crowded during the weekends.

I have visited this place during my visit to Ramnagar. I have not visited the temple inside so can't comment on it but it has big lines to go inside the temple. Beside that there is a beautiful river which is must visit place. There you can take bath in water and devour with Maggie and basic food which is really a good place for hangout with friends and family.

Visiting the Girija Devi Temple🛕 was truly a peaceful and serene experience. Nestled amidst natural beauty, the temple offers a spiritual retreat like no other. Situated on top of a small hillock in the middle of the Kosi River, the temple’s unique location adds to its charm and sacred aura🏔️🏞️ To reach the temple, one must climb a steep staircase, which can be a bit challenging but ultimately rewarding. The panoramic view from the top, coupled with the divine atmosphere, makes the effort worthwhile. Devotees come here to seek the blessings of Devi Girija, and the temple exudes a strong sense of devotion and tranquility🌿🌷 ❗️During peak travel seasons and holidays, expect long queues and a fair amount of waiting. The narrow passage and steep steps can make the ascent difficult, especially for senior citizens or those with mobility issues. It's advisable to avoid the climb if you have any health concerns related to walking or climbing. 💫Overall, the Girija Devi Temple is a must-visit for spiritual seekers and those looking to experience natural beauty along with divinity. Just be prepared for a bit of a climb—and a truly rewarding experience at the top🌟

Another must visit temple for any devout hindu visiting Ranikhet & it has a huge reverence. Visit, seek a manokamna & upon realisation of your wish revisit and tie a temple bell on the temple premises. It's very nice!!

The architecture isn't spectacular, but it's antiquity dates back 700 years according to local lore. The current structure, of course, is more recent in origin and dates to the last century. It's quaintness lies in its thousands of bells, big and small, along the walls of the temples and inside, donated by grateful worshippers. People come here to get their new vehicles blessed!

The experience was wonderful! The place has an incredible sense of peace and tranquility. Although this temple is often associated with Ranikhet, it’s actually located quite far from there — in a serene, isolated spot right beside the Army Jat Regiment check post. Just 3–4 km from the temple, you can also explore a beautiful garden in choubatia, which is said to be the second largest of its kind in Asia.

While the architecture of Jhula Devi Temple may not be grand or ornate, its antiquity and spiritual significance make it one of Ranikhet’s most cherished landmarks. According to local lore, the temple’s origins date back nearly 700 years, though the current structure was built in the last century. What truly makes this temple special are the thousands of brass bells — big and small — adorning its walls and ceilings. Each bell has been offered by a devotee in gratitude, symbolizing wishes fulfilled and prayers answered. The gentle sound of the bells swaying in the mountain breeze gives the temple a truly divine and peaceful aura. 🔔🌿 It’s a tradition among locals and travelers to visit the temple to seek blessings for new vehicles, symbolizing safety and good fortune. The energy here feels both sacred and timeless — a blend of faith, history, and the mountain spirit of Kumaon. If you’re in Ranikhet, Jhula Devi Temple is not just a place to visit — it’s a place to feel. 🙏

Jhula Devi Temple, located in Ranikhet, is a revered shrine dedicated to Goddess Durga. Built in the 8th century, the temple is famous for its unique ritual of offering bells.

The Jhula Devi Temple is not just a spiritual haven but also provides a picturesque view of the nearby Kumaon hills, making it a must-visit destination for both pilgrims and tourists seeking peace and natural beauty.

A distance of 7 km from Ranikhet, near Chaubatia, amidst stunning natural setting, one can easily spot Jhula Devi Temple, an 8th Century ancient Hindu Shrine dedicated to Jhula Devi... another form of Devi Durga. As the idol of Ma Durga ( presiding deity) is sitting on a Jhula, this temple is famous as Jhula Devi Temple. Every year, thousand of devotees offered their prayers to Jhula Devi.

A visit to Jhula Devi is a must when you are in Ranikhet.

700 years old temple of Maa durga in chobatiya of ranikhet cantonment Devotees offer bell to Maa when their wishes are fulfilled. Temple is neat and clean. Pooja samagri (along with a small bell)can be purchased from the shops outside the temple. Vehicles can be parked outside on the road.. One small park and a shop for tea and refreshment. Urinal are provided in nearby area. Overall rating : 4 out of 5

Food was tasty, service was good. But the thing is they are charging almost 50-60% more than the normal prices just because it’s situated in a tourist hotspot. They have a toilet too which is chargeable - 10 INR.

Birthi falls welcome you to munsiyari, atmosphere was awesome, food was not that much good - maggie. Great waterfall , just 15-20 min trek from road to birthi falls.

Food is very comforting and tasty... Owner very hospitable..only high priced.. 850 for people's basic lunch

I didn't like it that much. Yes they are situated right next to Birthi falls, so that's a big plus point,but the food prepared is not that great taste wise. At best its quite average. Usually tourists stop here to as its the only restaurant available in a long route .

It's a very nice water fall near to Munsyari. It's on the road about 25 kms before Munsyari. Nice walkway is made to reach near the waterfall. We can reach after approximately 250 stair steps from the road. After reaching at the fall you can have a wonderful views of entire valley and waterfall. There are only a roadside dhabha is available for refreshment. If you are tired of road journy it's a very beautiful spot for a short break....must visit place

Overly priced dishes…. Tasty also so so… they usually tell there is no restaurant after that… but there are many restaurants… anyways, my advice would be to ask for rate list first then order

Mantu Brithwal bhai is awesome host....enjoyed chawal with freshly cooked pahadi chicken. If you are coming this side than you must have lunch here.

" माँ नैना देवी " .. one of the 51 Shaktipeeths in India, Naina Devi Temple, is located at the northern end of the famous Nainital Lake which is at an elevation of over 6800 ft sea level. Goddess Naini Devi, deity of this temple, represented by the two eyes of the Devi. History : The Naina Devi temple gets its name from Goddess Sati’s eyes (Nayan) which fell at this place when Lord Vishnu cuts her body into 51 different parts. #templesofindia #shaktipeeth #नैनादेवी #thatlazytraveller #thatsolotraveller #incredibleindia #devbhoomiuttrakhand

I want to express my heartfelt congratulation and best wishes on the occasion of 'Nanda Ashtami', the festival that celebrates the worship of Goddess Nanda-Sunanda, the leading deity of Devbhoomi Uttarakhand. I always suggest visiting Nainital for the Nanda Devi Mela, which is something I always recommend. Being a part of the Nanda Devi Mela is something I am always grateful for.

Naina Devi Temple is a quiet and peaceful place with great mythological significance for Hindus. The temple management is very good, polite, and well-organized. We visited during the Nanda Devi festival, when the entire area was filled with vibrant energy and a lively fair (mela) was organized as part of the celebrations. During festivals, the temple timings are extended till 10 pm, allowing devotees more time for darshan. It is truly a must-visit place in Nainital, offering both spiritual serenity and cultural vibrance.

Divine place to visit in nainital. It is said to be one of the maha shakteepeeth. This is the olace where eyes of mata sati fell and since then it is been worshiped.

The city is named after maa Naina Devi. Very popular in uttarakhand and beautiful location. Parking is far away from temple. Use e rikshaw

Visited Naina Devi Temple in Nainital this morning, and it was a wonderful experience! There was hardly any crowd, which made the darshan smooth and peaceful. The temple’s serene atmosphere is truly special, offering a calm and spiritual vibe. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone in Nainital. Just a heads-up, photography isn’t allowed inside, so respect the rules. Highly recommend!

Nainital Lake is a beautiful spot surrounded by green mountains. I visited with my family and we loved the amazing view of the hills reflecting in the clear water. Boating on the lake was a peaceful and fun experience. The cool breeze and calm water made it even better. There are nice pathways around the lake for walking and enjoying the scenery. The place is clean and perfect for families. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature.

It's an awesome experience in Nainital where we have explore all the activities like boating and watching all the views like mango lake view , Himalayan range view , Bhimtal , Lover point and sucidal point etc . The place is just like a heaven where you forgot yourself after watching the nature's beauty.

Nainital Lake, nestled in the heart of the charming hill station of Nainital, is truly a gem of Uttarakhand and an unmissable destination for any traveler seeking tranquility and scenic beauty. The moment you arrive at the lake, its emerald-green waters reflecting the surrounding hills instantly capture your heart. Surrounded by lush mountains dotted with colorful cottages and pine forests, the lake offers a postcard-perfect view that feels almost surreal. Boating on Nainital Lake is an absolute delight and one of the most memorable experiences here. Whether you choose a paddle boat or a traditional rowing boat, the gentle ripples of the water and the cool mountain breeze make it a soothing ride. As you glide through the lake, you can see the famous Naina Devi Temple on one side and the bustling Mall Road on the other, adding a perfect mix of serenity and liveliness to the experience. In the evenings, the lake transforms into a dreamlike spectacle. The shimmering reflections of the streetlights and the colorful shops along Mall Road create a magical ambiance that feels straight out of a fairytale. The surrounding cafes and local eateries serve delicious momos, hot tea, and snacks, making the lakeside strolls even more enjoyable. The panoramic views from Snow View Point and Tiffin Top add another layer of beauty to the Nainital experience, offering breathtaking perspectives of the lake from above. Whether you’re a solo traveler seeking peace, a couple on a romantic getaway, or a family looking for a fun retreat, Nainital Lake never disappoints. It’s a place where nature and serenity embrace you completely—making it one of the most picturesque and soul-soothing destinations in the Indian Himalayas.

What a view maan! Absolutely adored the place. Mesmerizing and unique beauty with buildings on the hillslope sorrounding the lake. You have to be here to enjoy this beauty. Words can‘t express, Photos can’t describe.

Neat and clean , fresh air , lovely lake view , lot of food options at mall road , nainadevi temple is very nice , easy transportation available to haldwani from nainital, boating cost 200rs per person.

Naini Lake, the heart and soul of Nainital, is a breathtaking natural freshwater body nestled amidst seven lush hills in the Kumaon Himalayas. Its distinctive mango or crescent shape and tranquil, shimmering waters immediately capture the visitor’s eye, making it the focal point of this popular hill station. The Scenic Splendour and Ambiance The sheer beauty of the lake is undeniable. Surrounded by the colonial-era architecture of Mallital (north side) and Tallital (south side), the panorama is stunning, especially during sunrise and sunset. . The hills—capped with pine, deodar, and oak trees—provide a majestic backdrop, creating a cool, peaceful atmosphere that is a much-needed escape from city life. Walking along the Mall Road promenade that runs parallel to the lake is a favored activity, allowing tourists to soak in the beauty and the bustling yet relaxed town culture. Tourist Experience and Activities The main draw of Naini Lake is, without a doubt, boating. Visitors have the choice of various watercraft: Row Boats: Typically charged for a half-round or full-round, these are popular for a relaxed ride, as a boatman rows for you. A half-round usually costs around ₹160 and a full round ₹210 (prices are approximate and can vary). Paddle Boats: Ideal for couples or those who enjoy a bit of light exercise, charges are generally around ₹210 per hour. Boating hours are typically from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the early morning and late evening offering the most photogenic light and serene experience. Beyond boating, the lake acts as a hub for other attractions, including the nearby Naina Devi Temple, one of the 51 Shakti Peeths, lending the area a profound religious and historical significance. A cable car ride near the lake offers a panoramic bird's-eye view of the emerald-green waters and the surrounding peaks. Mythology and Historical Context The lake’s mystique is deepened by its mythological roots. It is believed to be the site where the eye ( Nain ) of Goddess Sati fell after her immolation, giving the lake its name (Naini-tal, or 'lake of the eye'). This legend solidifies the area's sanctity. Historically, the town was 'discovered' by the British in 1841 by P. Barron, who was so taken by the spot that he established a European colony here, turning it into the summer seat of the North-Western Provinces, adding a distinct colonial charm to the lakefront. The Downside While breathtaking, the lake's overwhelming popularity means the area, especially Mall Road, can get severely crowded during peak tourist season and holidays. This can detract from the intended 'peaceful' experience. Furthermore, like many heavily visited sites, concerns about cleanliness and water quality are sometimes raised, highlighting the need for stricter environmental protection and maintenance to preserve its natural beauty. In conclusion, Naini Lake is an essential destination that fully lives up to its reputation as a stunning Himalayan lake resort. Its blend of scenic beauty, engaging activities, and deep-rooted mythology makes it an unforgettable experience, provided visitors are prepared to navigate the crowds during high season.

Beautiful lake . Beside the lake there is mall road . You will spot fishes in the lake.Boat riding is available in the lake for ₹320/₹420. This lake beautiful in the night also.

Well maintained zoo , if coming by foot be prepared for the good work out for legs. Tough for elderly people and heavy person. Very steep climb take car. Once you reach you have nice view of lake.

Zoo is located on a peak accessible only through shuttles operating infront of India hotel on mall road. There's lot of walking and steep accent there no caddy available, therefore I would suggest avoiding aged people OT people who are not comfortable with heavy cardio. Overall zoo have decent number of species and animals are quite active.

Frankly, the zoo is nice, if you like climbing hills. I found it strenuous. You have to walk uphill quite a lot to reach the tickets counter and then inside the zoo more climbing. I enjoyed watching the tigers, leopards and red pandas and some mountain goats and deers. But many of the cages were empty. Sometimes only after a steep climb to an enclosure you realise that there is nothing there. Still I liked what I saw though I was really tired with all that climbing up.

Pt. G.B. Pant High Altitude Zoo, Nainital – A Unique Hillside Experience The Nainital Zoo is located on a scenic hilltop, accessible only via shuttle services operating in front of Hotel India on Mall Road. 🚐 The route is quite steep, and there’s a fair bit of walking involved — so it may not be suitable for elderly visitors or anyone uncomfortable with heavy uphill walks (no caddies or private vehicles allowed). Once you reach the top, you’ll find a well-maintained zoo with a decent variety of animals and birds — from Himalayan bears and leopards to barking deer and colorful pheasants. The enclosures are clean, and most animals appear active and healthy. 🦌🐆 The fresh mountain air and peaceful surroundings make the visit enjoyable and educational, especially for families and children. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes and carry water for the climb!

Mesmerizing views of the Himalayas and a variety of animals make G B Pant High Altitude Zoo a must-visit in Nainital! 🏔️🐯 Stunning sunset views, well-maintained enclosures, tiger and a peaceful atmosphere. A great place to connect with nature and unwind. Highly recommended! 😊 What to Expect: - A variety of animals, including Bengal tigers, leopards, red pandas, Himalayan black bears, and several bird species Tips and Reviews: - Be prepared for a steep climb to reach the zoo - Wear comfortable walking shoes, as there's a lot of walking involved. - You can encounter with Langoors on the way from the cab dropping point to the ticket counter. Ticket Price - INR 150 / person Route - Cab is available from the Church area at the Mall road. Cab cost - INR 70/ person. Cafeteria: Available inside the Zoo

The Nainital Zoo is located at a very high point. From Mall Road, you can take a cab service that charges ₹70 per person and drops you near the entry area. After that, you still have to walk quite a bit uphill to reach the ticket counter, where the ticket price is ₹150 per person. Once you enter the zoo, you first get to see some beautiful birds, followed by the Bengal tiger and many other animals. Since the zoo is situated at a high altitude, you have to keep walking uphill inside as well. If you have elderly people with you, it’s better not to take them along due to the steep climb. Apart from that, the zoo is surrounded by nature and the peaceful environment really wins your heart.

"Visited GB Pant High Altitude Zoo in Nainital and was amazed! Home to rare Himalayan species like Red Panda and Snow Leopard. Conservation efforts are top-notch, and the views are breathtaking. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Breathtaking Views at Chauli ki Jali, Mukteshwar! Chauli ki Jali is one of the most stunning viewpoints in Mukteshwar. Perched on a cliffside near the Mukteshwar Temple, it offers spectacular panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges and deep valleys below. The experience of standing at the edge and watching the vast landscapes is absolutely thrilling and unforgettable. The place is also known for its mythological and historical significance, which adds to its charm. It’s a great spot for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers, and the unique rock formations make it even more fascinating. Whether you go for the mesmerizing sunrise/sunset views or just to soak in the natural beauty, Chauli ki Jali is a place you simply cannot miss while visiting Mukteshwar.

Chauli Ki Jali, located behind the Mukteshwar Temple in Uttarakhand, is one of the most beautiful and adventurous viewpoints in the region. Perched at an altitude of about 2,500 meters, it offers breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges and the deep valleys below. The site is famous for its naturally formed rock wall with holes (“Jali” means net or lattice), which adds a unique charm to the spot. According to local legends, Goddess Kali fought a demon here, and the marks on the rocks are believed to be from that battle. It’s also a popular destination for adventure lovers who enjoy rock climbing and rappelling. The combination of spiritual significance, natural beauty, and thrilling experiences makes Chauli Ki Jali a must-visit spot in Mukteshwar.

Near mukteswar kmvn zero point and mukteswar dham, a unique place to feel on top of world in the middle of clouds

It's scenic and I think the only most visited place and attraction in Mukhteshwar, overcrowded no parking at all in season. Long traffic for cars.

A place near mukteshwar dhamtemple with full of natural beauty

If you already went to places like waichin valley, Tosh, munsyari, ladakh etc. this one may not impress you. However, sunset from the cliff is impressive and now the zipline is also added (fare 500 pp). Walking distance (5 minutes) from Mukteshwar mahadev mandir.

This place is situated just beside the Mukteshwar Dham Temple. There is walkway just beside the entry of the temple that leads you to this place. On the entry to the walkway, you have small open shops and eateries where you can munch on Samosa, Kachori, Fruit Chat, Rajma Chawal, Dal Chawal and much more. You need to walk around 500 mts before you reach this place and once you reach there are more eateries. There are even two ziplines if you are someone who loves thrill. The place is now heavily commercialized and that's my first complain with this scenic place. Chauli ki Jhali is essentially a mountain cliff which gives you breath-taking views of Himalayas and there is no wonder this place is so popular but due to heavy commercialization the place is very dirty and too crowded. You can spend good 15-20 mins here taking back the mesmerizing views the place has to offer. Also dno't forget to click some pics on the first cliff just when you enter the area. That spot is a good one. Totally recommened and more so in off season.

Peaceful and Divine Experience at Mukteshwar Dham Temple Mukteshwar Dham Temple is a must-visit spiritual spot in Mukteshwar and is considered to be one of the Shaktipeeths, which makes it even more sacred. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple has a strong spiritual aura that instantly fills you with peace and positivity. To reach the temple, you need to climb a series of stairs from the main road, and the short ascent feels refreshing amidst the natural surroundings. Once at the top, the atmosphere is serene and divine. Apart from its religious significance, the temple offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Himalayas – truly mesmerizing and soul-soothing.

Ancient and tranquil temple dedicated to Lord Shiva with stunning Himalayan views. A peaceful spiritual experience reached by a scenic uphill climb. Highly recommended for devotees and nature lovers

“Mukteshwar Dham is one of the most peaceful and divine temples I have ever visited. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple is situated on a hilltop and offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas. The atmosphere here is calm, spiritual and full of positive energy. The temple is clean, well-maintained and perfect for meditation and prayers. Early morning darshan is especially blissful. A must-visit place in Mukteshwar for devotees as well as nature lovers.”

Great holy temple of Lord Shiva. Around 350 yrs old. We need to ascend some 136 steps but the temple and view from top is worth it. Chauli ki jaali too is near by to this place.

A serene temple with breathtaking views—but be prepared for a bit of a hike! Mukteshwar Dham Temple is truly a peaceful and spiritually uplifting place, perched right at the top of Mukteshwar. The view from up there is absolutely stunning—calm, serene, and perfect for some quiet reflection. The temple itself has a divine energy, and even though it can get a bit crowded, the overall experience is still incredibly soothing. That said, one thing to be aware of is the parking situation. Cops won’t allow you to drive all the way up to avoid traffic jams, so you’ll have to park about 1.5 km before the temple. From there, you have two choices: either enjoy a moderately steep uphill walk or hop on a scooter offered by local riders, which usually costs ₹50–₹100 for the ride to the top. The walk can be a bit of a challenge, especially for elderly people or those not used to walking uphill, so plan accordingly. Despite this small inconvenience, the view and the temple make it absolutely worth the effort.

Holi place in Nainital district of Uttarakhand about 57 kilometers drive from Nainital city. Temple of Mukeshwar Mahadev. Excellent view of snow peaks from Mukteshwar. Many luxury hotels are available there. There was apple orchards on the way. Temple is situated at the top of Mukteshwar.

If possible, AVOID going to the temple on weekends, especially during peak season. The cab-wallahs will not tell you that the cabs will be stopped about 2 kms before the temple, and then you will either have to walk all the way through a nightmarish traffic or hire a two-wheeler to cover that distance. You will end up paying 2500/- to the cab-wallah (from Kasiyalekh) and then either walk 2 kms (one way) to the temple or pay another 200/- to the two-wheeler-wallah (for one person) for riding one way. So, if you are a group of 4, you will have to shell out another 1600/- if you choose to take the two-wheeler ride for all, both ways. The locals exploit the situation, but the administration is not bothered. If you choose to go in a self driven vehicle, be prepared to get mad. If you are only 2 in a group, a better way would be to hire a two-wheeler to the temple from Kasiyalekh instead of going there in a four- wheeler. But, we were told that on weekdays the situation is not so bad. We visited this place on Saturday, 21 June 2025. I tried to find some peace, serenity, and calmness at the temple but failed miserably. The covered concrete steps to the temple are a recent construction (although it has definitely ruined the beauty of the natural surroundings of the temple). Before, it used to be a hike to the temple through the jungle around.

Patal Bhuvaneshwar is a hidden pilgrimage centre, seepded in mystery and mythology, near Gangolihat, on the way to Berinag, at a distance of 35 kms. from Pithoragarh. This shrine is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The way to the cave temple is through a long, narrow tunnel. The cave is 160 m long and 90 feet deep from the point of entrance. Patal Bhuvaneshwar is not merely a natural wonder but the abode of Lord Shiva himself. Skandh Puran has it that the cave serves as a gateway to the netherworld, where the divine trinity—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva—reside in eternal harmony. A nominal fee, and a guide will take you all along the stories, and all hidden caves/ sthanas- Shesh Naag, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, Amrit Kund, Airawat, Kalp Vriksh, Kaamdhenu, Shiv Jatas and many more. A must visit place in all seasons.

An amazing experience and beautiful cave with unbelievable story and structure I just loved this place and there you feel very good environment, i can feel such different energy and power once in this place. It’s a cave with Lord Shiva story all around and temple to worship

Patal Bhuvaneshwar is an absolutely mesmerizing place that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. Hidden deep within the mountains of Kumaon, this ancient limestone cave temple is filled with natural beauty, spiritual energy, and incredible legends from Hindu mythology. As you walk through the cave, you can see naturally formed structures said to represent Lord Shiva, Sheshnag, and various deities - it truly feels like stepping into another world. The atmosphere is peaceful, the locals are very welcoming, and the surroundings are breathtakingly scenic. A perfect mix of devotion, mystery, and nature - highly recommended for anyone visiting Uttarakhand!

Patal Bhuvaneshwar is a fascinating limestone cave temple located in the Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand, India. Here's what makes it significant: Location: It's situated in Bhubneshwar village, about 14 kilometers away from Gangolihat, at an altitude of 1,350 meters (4,429 feet). Description: * This isn't just one cave, but rather a series of interconnected caves. * The main cave is about 160 meters long and descends 90 feet from its entrance. * Inside, you'll find stunning natural formations of stalactites and stalagmites that have, over time, taken the shapes of various Hindu deities and mythological figures. These include representations of Lord Shiva, Ganesha, Sheshnag (the divine serpent), and even what is believed to be the severed head of Ganesha. * The cave is electrically illuminated, allowing visitors to witness these intricate formations. Mythological and Historical Significance: * Ancient Mentions: Patal Bhuvaneshwar finds mention in the ancient Hindu scripture, the Skanda Purana, specifically in the Manas Khand. * Discovery: Legend has it that the cave was first discovered in the Treta Yuga by King Rituparna of the Surya dynasty. It is believed that he was guided through the cave by Sheshnag himself. * Rediscovery: In the Kali Yuga (the present epoch), the great sage Adi Shankaracharya is said to have rediscovered this cave in 1191 AD, establishing its modern pilgrimage history. * Abode of Deities: It's a strong belief that this cave is the abode of 33 crore (33 types, as "koti" in this context means type) Hindu gods and goddesses. * Connection to Char Dham: Many believe that a pilgrimage to Patal Bhuvaneshwar is as sacred as visiting the Char Dham (the four major pilgrimage sites) of Uttarakhand. * Passage of the Pandavas: Some legends suggest that the Pandavas, the heroes of the Mahabharata, meditated here during their final journey to the Himalayas. * Symbolic Entrances: The cave is said to have four entrances: Randwar (path to war), Paapdwar (door of sin), Dharamdwar (door of righteousness), and Mokshadwar (door of salvation). Currently, only Dharamdwar and Mokshadwar are open. It is believed that Paapdwar closed after the death of Ravana and Randwar closed after the Mahabharata war. * Link to Mount Kailash: There's a belief that Patal Bhuvaneshwar is connected to Mount Kailash through an underground passage. Visiting Patal Bhuvaneshwar: * The journey inside the cave involves descending about 82 steps and navigating narrow, sometimes wet passages, often with the help of iron chains for support. * The atmosphere inside is typically dimly lit and solemn, adding to the mystical experience. * Priests from the Bhandari family have been performing religious rites here since the time of Adi Shankaracharya. * The cave timings are generally from 8 am to 6 pm during summer and 9 am to 5 pm during winter, but it's always good to confirm locally. * Entry into the cave is often in batches of 20-30 people. In essence, Patal Bhuvaneshwar is more than just a cave; it's a place steeped in mythology and spirituality, offering a unique and somewhat adventurous pilgrimage experience.

Most Powerful & Heritage Temple Patal Bhuvaneshwar Cave , This Temple Pithoragarh District & Almora 115 Km Distance , (( Wone Car & Taxi Minimum 5.30 hrs Travel Time . )) (( I Am Not Suggest For BIKE Ride Maximum 6.30 to 7 hours and Road is Not Good ))..

A thrilling experience. After getting down from the vehicle, it's 1.5 KM walking distance through a mountain path. For 3 person, ticket charged around 290/-. But when I came to the entry of the downward stairs at this cave, I refused to enter and returned back. But later when I saw that all men, women and even 7 to 10 years kids were entering, then I entered. After climbing down 90 feet of stairs, there was uneven land with misc mythology. Main thing is to hold the chains tightly, which passes from both sides, it will save from any kind of fallen. At the time of climbing up, it's the same funda - hold the chains and move calmly, don't hurry.

It was out of the world experience to enter into cave like this..lots of amazing figures made in cave ,4 dhaam ,ganesh ji dhad,and many more ,one who loves spirituality and wants to explore ,this is best place for all of them.

** Kanpur Zoological Park ** Rating: ★★★★☆ I recently visited Kanpur Zoological Park, and overall, it was a great experience, though there are a few areas that could use improvement. The park is massive and offers a fantastic variety of animals. You can find many species, such as the Royal Bengal Tiger, Crocodile, Wolf, Rhinoceros, Himalayan Polar Bear, Leopard, and more. There are also 25-35 species of birds, including the vibrant Macau, Peacock, White Pelican, Goose, and various types of monkeys. The wildlife diversity is impressive, and the large green spaces make it a pleasant place to explore. It's a lovely spot to spend a few hours with family or friends. However, I did have an issue with the food stalls inside the zoo. While it’s understandable that prices may be a bit higher due to the location, it felt like they were taking advantage of visitors. For instance, a cold drink priced at ₹40 is being sold for ₹50, which is quite a markup. Other items were similarly overpriced, which left a bad taste after an otherwise enjoyable visit. Another area that needs attention is the cleanliness of the water storage areas, like the ponds. Some of them seemed to have stagnant water, and a little more care in maintaining these spots would improve the overall experience. Despite these minor issues, the zoo offers an amazing variety of animals and a beautiful, expansive space to enjoy nature. With some improvements to food pricing and cleanliness, this could easily be a five-star experience. Would definitely recommend visiting, but be prepared for the overcharging at the food stalls!

It's gonna be fun place for kids for adults really not , half the park was empty no lion no tiger no snakes lot more were jst empty cages. Still can be nice place for 1 day picnic. Improved a lot. Just need more variety of Species of Animals. Giraffe , Elephant , Gorilla will make Zoo Interesting And other Animals Which are rare. And More Rhino, And Labeling shud be done more specifically on some birds and animals.

Kanpur Zoological Park remains one of the city’s top family-friendly and educational destinations, offering immersive wildlife experiences in a natural forest setting. Recent refurbishments and commitment to eco-friendly operations enhance its appeal. Most visitors leave impressed—especially those seeking a relaxed, green escape within Kanpur. Attractions & Amenities: Botanical Garden & Lake Aviary, Aquarium & Night House Toy Train & Life-size Dinosaur Sculptures

The Kanpur Zoological Park, famously known as the Allen Forest Zoo, is a wonderful and sprawling sanctuary that offers a refreshing escape into nature within the city limits. As one of the few zoos in India established within a natural forest, it spans over 76 hectares, providing a lush, green environment that feels more like a wildlife reserve. ​The zoo is managed on modern principles, featuring large, open, and moated enclosures that give the animals ample space and a more natural habitat, which is a commendable effort for animal welfare. Visitors can observe a diverse range of fauna, including the Royal Bengal Tiger, leopards, hippos, a variety of deer, and numerous species of birds and reptiles. ​Beyond the animal exhibits, the park is a destination in itself. It features a large, scenic lake with boating facilities, a rich botanical garden, and a popular toy train ride, making it an ideal spot for a full-day family outing. The presence of a dinosaur park and an aquarium adds to the appeal for children.

Nice place to visit. Kids had fun. Very vast area to walk and cover in a day. Requires more cleaning.

Very nice zoo and different different types animals and Birds and you please come zoology and enjoy

The ticket was 70 rupees which is absolutely ok,after entering we took the battery cart for zoo tour the driver works as guide as well, infrastructure of zoo poor,not maintained special request to maintain washrooms,there was train which was now shutdown, roads inside zoo while riding was in very poor condition with pothholes,even the animals area was not at all maintained. Request to authority to maintain roads, washroom and train 🚂

Nice place and clean temple.

The Bara Imambara in Lucknow, India, is one of the most famous examples. Built by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula in 1784, it's renowned for its stunning Mughal architecture, intricate design, and massive hall with an unsupported roof. The complex includes the Asfi mosque, Shahi Baoli, and the famous Bhulbhulaiya maze. Some notable facts about Bara Imambara include - *Architecture*: The Imambara showcases a blend of Mughal, Rajput, and Gothic styles, with no iron used in its construction. - *Purpose*: It was built not only as a place of worship but also as a means to provide employment during a devastating famine. - *Design*: The Bhulbhulaiya maze has 489 identical doorways and only two exits, making it a fascinating and sometimes confusing experience. - *Features*: The complex includes the Asfi mosque, Shahi Baoli, and Naubat Khana. If you're planning to visit, here are some essentials to keep in mind . - *Timings*: 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Mondays. - *Entry Fee*: ₹50 for Indian adults, ₹25 for children, and ₹500 for foreigners. - *Dress Code*: Conservative clothing covering the whole body is required. - *Best Time to Visit*: October to March for pleasant weather.

Bara Imambara is one of the most impressive historical monuments I’ve ever visited. The entire complex reflects the rich heritage of Lucknow, with stunning Mughal-style architecture and beautiful craftsmanship. The highlight is the Bhulbhulaiya (labyrinth) — an intricate maze that is both fascinating and a bit thrilling. The views from the top are excellent and give a great glimpse of the city’s old charm. The Asfi Mosque inside the complex is equally majestic. The place is well-maintained, and the guides are knowledgeable. Plan to spend at least 2–3 hours to fully explore the monument and the surrounding gardens. Overall, a wonderful experience and a must-visit for anyone coming to Lucknow.

Bara Imambara, also known as Imam Bada, is one of the most iconic monuments in Lucknow and an absolute must-visit if you’re in the city. Built in 1784 by Nawab Asaf-ud-Daula, it’s not just a piece of history but also a stunning example of Mughal-era architecture. The highlight is the massive central hall — said to be one of the largest arched halls in the world built without any beams or iron supports. Walking into it, you can’t help but be amazed at the engineering brilliance of that time. Above the hall lies the famous *Bhool Bhulaiya* (labyrinth), a maze of corridors and passageways that’s both exciting and slightly spooky to explore. Beyond the architecture, the place carries deep cultural and religious importance. It was originally built as part of famine relief work and continues to serve as a place of worship during Muharram. The courtyards, arches, and gateways like the Rumi Darwaza nearby also make it a photographer’s delight. On the flip side, the site can get crowded, especially during weekends or festivals, and parts of the complex could use a bit more upkeep. Guides are sometimes pushy, and the summer heat can make exploration a little tiring. Still, none of this takes away from the grandeur of the monument. Tips for visitors: Best time to visit is morning or late afternoon (avoid peak heat). Wear comfortable shoes — the maze requires walking and climbing. Hiring a good guide can enhance the experience, but agree on rates in advance. Carry water and be mindful of the cultural setting. Overall Bara Imambara is more than a tourist spot — it’s a blend of history, culture, and architectural wonder. Despite minor drawbacks, it’s one of the finest heritage experiences in Lucknow and should not be missed

Bada Imambada in Lucknow is one of the city’s most iconic monuments and a true symbol of its rich heritage. The complex includes the famous Bhool Bhulaiya, the grand Asfi Mosque, and the majestic Rumi Darwaza. The intricate Mughal-era architecture, vast arched halls, and detailed craftsmanship reflect the glory of the Nawabi era. The serenity of the complex, combined with its historical charm, makes it a perfect place to explore and admire. A must-visit landmark for anyone wanting to experience the cultural soul of Lucknow.

If you are going to Lucknow, you should definitely go to Bada Imambara. Famously known as Nawabon ka Sheher, I think going to the very Iconic Bada Imambara area is a must. When you reach Bada Imambara, you can get a tuk-tuk or E-rickshaw, which take 100 rs for one ride around the entire area, including the Rumi Darwaza, Shahi Bawli, Clock Tower, Art Gallery in Chota Imambara and back to Bada Imambara where you can go inside and explore Bhool Bhulaiyan, another bouli and the amazing Nawabi architecture, which closely resembles Taj Mahal, in many aspects. You notice it instantly when you see it. The Tuktukwala or E-rickshaw driver also tells you the history of the places and attached stories of different places. And there is no time limit. All this for 100 rs, especially if you are a group of 4, is a very economical and value for money deal. Art Gallery in Chota Imambara is where you get ticket for both gallery and Imambara for Rs. 50 per person And it's the most amazing at evening after sun has set, with the lights. Just one thing to BEWARE of, do NOT buy chikken kari kurti or chikken embroidery clothing from where the E-rickshaw person takes you, you can get better deal and better stuff at other places in Lucknow. This is especially for the first timers.

When you are Lucknow, you will surely visit this place. This is just like Tajmahal in Agra. Nice place to visit but very crowded. Ticket price is ₹50, to cover all sites in this complex as well as Chhota Imambada. Guide will charge according to the number of people in your group. But remember, after the payment, you will be added to large heterogeneous group of visitors. You won't get personal attention. Guide will be already tired and you are least likely to enjoy.

Crazy crowds. Don't go inside the maze if you are claustrophobic or don't like crowds. The maze is nice and the view from top is good too. If you like these type of architectural places. You can just look from outside too and walk in the courtyard. Also, it will not feel any different than other similar buildings if you don't get a guide to tell you some of the facts around the building.

This place covers a huge area. Its very well maintained. The entry ticket is quite less-Rs. 25 for the Indians. There are ASI boards outside individual ruins to give proper information about the place. There's no guide there. Place is easily accessible by auto, cabs or nearby metro station.

The complex is beautifully maintained with lush green lawns that contrast starkly with the ruins. It is a large area, so prepare for plenty of walking. Information plaques are placed at key locations like the Baillie Guard Gate, Dr. Fayrer's House (where Sir Henry Lawrence died), and the Memorial Museum. The 1857 Memorial Museum, housed within the complex, is a must-see. It contains artifacts, paintings, and maps that offer a detailed, if slightly biased toward the colonial perspective, overview of the events of the siege. What makes the site so compelling is that the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has intentionally preserved it in a state of ruin. The bullet-ridden walls, the gaping holes from cannonballs, and the crumbling arches are not restored; they are left as silent, powerful witnesses to the conflict. You can clearly trace the trajectory of the cannon fire on the main Residency building, the Treasury, and the Banquet Hall. The adjacent cemetery, where thousands of British and Indian soldiers, women, and children were buried, adds a somber layer of reflection. Entrance fee for foreigners is ₹300. Morning hours are highly recommended to avoid the harsh midday sun, especially during the summer months.

Having lived in Lucknow all my life, I had visited The Residency as a child, but only recently did I truly explore it — and it turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had in the city. The moment you enter, you feel transported to another era. The bullet-marked walls, damaged structures, and remnants of cannons silently narrate the intensity of the 1857 uprising. Every part of the complex — from the Baillie Guard Gate and Treasury Building to the church ruins, museum, and underground chambers — carries a haunting yet fascinating historical charm. Walking through the wide lawns, peaceful pathways, and shaded areas, I found myself reflecting on the resilience and sacrifices that shaped India’s past. The small museum offers well-curated information, and the graveyard adds emotional depth to the experience. Climbing some of the vantage points gives you a beautiful view of the entire complex. The Residency is not just a monument — it’s a preserved memory of India’s struggle, the city’s heritage, and a chapter of history that still echoes through its walls. If you’re in Lucknow, this place absolutely deserves your time and attention.

Loved the experience of going back to the Residency after 9 years again. The place has been maintained very well and kept clean. The ASI has also illuminated the buildings in the evening. The small museum is also informative about the history of the place. One must visit when in Lucknow.

The Residency is the site of British Habitation during the colonial period in Lucknow. Later during the 1857 revolt it became one of the most active centres for revolutionary activity.

It is worth getting a guide while visiting here as the place would otherwise seem uninteresting.

Structurally it's worth it... I mean it has been planned to present the values of Bhim Rao Ambedkar, but then this is where the praise stops. Instead of calling it a park, it should have been called as a recreation center for appreciating values of Baba Saheb. When it comes to calling it a park, there are no trees, just marble structures. Recommended to go in early morning before 10:30am or after 5:30pm Summer season it must be a heat factory. Basic entry ticket available

The Koshi River, also called the Sapta Koshi for its seven major tributaries. This is one of the largest rivers in Nepal, originating in the Himalayas, it flows southward, cutting through the Mahabharat Range and the Churia Hills before entering the Terai plains. The Koshi is significant for its immense water volume and its role in irrigation, hydropower generation, and supporting diverse ecosystems, including the Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve. However, its volatile nature, particularly during monsoon seasons, has earned it the moniker "Sorrow of Bihar" in India due to frequent devastating floods.

I traveled by bike to the Koshi River, and it was an incredible experience. The journey was thrilling, with scenic landscapes, fresh air, and the excitement of the open road. Riding alongside the river, I felt a deep sense of peace as I took in the vast expanse of water and the surrounding natural beauty. Watching the sunset over the river made the trip even more memorable, making it a truly refreshing and unforgettable adventure.

The Kosi River near Mathura is a peaceful and scenic spot that offers a refreshing break from the hustle of city life. Surrounded by natural beauty and a calm atmosphere, it's a perfect place to relax, take a quiet walk, or simply sit and enjoy the flowing water.

It's also a nice stop for those traveling between Delhi and Agra. If you're into photography or nature, you’ll appreciate the picturesque views, especially during the monsoon when the river is fuller and the surroundings are lush and green. While it's not a major tourist destination, that’s part of its charm – it remains relatively untouched and peaceful. Just make sure to keep the place clean and respect the natural environment. Highly recommend for a short visit if you're passing through the area or exploring the Mathura region.
