Masroor Rock-cut Temple

Mentioned on 
+5 other lists 
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Masroor Rock Cut Temple, also known as Himalayan Pyramid, is a complex of monolithic rock-cut temples located in Masroor, Kangra Valley. The temple complex features ornate architectural carvings and is built in the shikhara style of classical Indian architecture. Dating back to the 8th to 10th centuries, these sandstone sikharas are hewn from living rock and are rare for North India.
It was an hour long drive from our air bnb in Rakkar, dharamshala. There are two routes, one going via tiara and gaggal road which is steeper and narrower than the state highway 23 road which has gentle slopes and obviously wider than the other but the distance is 9 kms more than the other. So the choice is yours. The place has relics of single stone carved temple. It's beautiful and so calm and serene. Whoever is interested in some history as well as some serene place, should absolutely visit and spend some time, just sitting and enjoying the beauty of nature around you.

On return from Dharamshala to Chandigarh we planned to visit Masroor Rock cut temple. It is a real wonder as temples are built on one Rock just as in Ellora. Though temples were affected by 1905 earthquake but one can see the temple. Restoration work is going on and idols have been kept for worship. However no one is allowed to offer money.
Ranjay V — Google review
A monolithic rock cut temple of around eighth century. The place is not so popular among tourists. The architecture is wonderful and amazing. Although it was damaged by the 1905 earthquake, still what remains is awesome. A must visit for history lovers.

Masroor Rock Cut Temples – A Hidden Gem of Ancient Architecture Visited on: 6th May 2025 On 6th May 2025, we explored one of Himachal Pradesh’s lesser-known but truly awe-inspiring historical sites —the Masroor Rock Cut Temples. Located about 40 km from Dharamshala, this archaeological wonder is nestled in the quiet village of Masroor, offering a rare and mesmerizing blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. These temples are believed to date back to the 8th century and are carved entirely out of a single rock, much like the famous Kailasa Temple in Ellora. The complex consists of 15 monolithic rock-cut shrines, primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva, though some also depict Vishnu and other deities from the Hindu pantheon. What’s most striking is the intricate detailing in the stone carvings—though many have weathered over the centuries, the remaining figures, pillars, and facades still hint at the grandeur of the original structure. The temples face the Dhauladhar mountain range, and there's a serene water tank in front that reflects the entire complex beautifully—especially during clear daylight. The site is relatively quiet and uncrowded, allowing you to explore at your own pace, absorb the silence, and marvel at the craftsmanship. There’s a calm, sacred energy in the air, and it's easy to feel transported to a different era. Highlights of Our Visit: - The panoramic view of the snow-capped Dhauladhars from the temple platform was breathtaking. - The cool stone interiors offered a welcome break from the summer heat. - The peaceful ambiance made it ideal for quiet reflection and photography. Travel Tips: - You'll need to purchase tickets online from the website of the Archeological Society of India - Best visited in the morning or late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds. - Carry water and snacks, as there are limited facilities around the site. - Wear sturdy shoes—some parts involve uneven steps and rocky paths. - Respect the sanctity of the temple area and avoid climbing over fragile carvings. Final Thoughts: The Masroor Rock Cut Temples are a true hidden treasure of Himachal Pradesh. Though not as widely publicized as other heritage sites in India, they deserve much more recognition for their architectural and historical significance. If you're in the Dharamshala or Kangra region, make the time to visit—you’ll walk away with a sense of wonder and deep appreciation for ancient Indian artistry.

The Masroor Temple, also known as the Rock-Cut Temple, is an 8th-century Hindu temple complex located in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. It's a remarkable example of ancient Indian rock-cut architecture, carved out of a single sandstone rock. According to local mythology, the Pandavas built the temple during their exile.The temple complex consists of 15 rock-cut temples arranged around a rectangular water pond, reflecting the intricate carvings in its still waters. The temple showcases North Indian Nagara architecture style, with a central shikhara tower and a sacred pool.The temple is dedicated to deities to Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Devi, and Saura of Hinduism, with sculptures and reliefs depicting various gods and goddesses. The temple complex was first reported by Henry Shuttleworth in 1913 and is believed to have been built between the 7th -9th centuries AD.The temple is located in the Kangra Valley, 43 km from Dharamshala. The temple is open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.the Entry fees I think ₹25 And the Best Time to Visit in this month ie October to February forpleasant weather and festivals.

Shaktipeeth Shri Bajreshwari Devi Temple, Kangra

Mentioned on

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks

Nestled in the picturesque town of Kangra, the Shaktipeeth Shri Vajreshwari Devi Temple stands as a testament to both spiritual devotion and architectural beauty. This revered Hindu shrine is dedicated to Goddess Vajreshwari and is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, believed to be where a part of Goddess Sati fell according to ancient legends.
Another Shaktipeeth near Dharamshala to visit when traveling there. One of the most beautiful and divine places to experience spirituality. Bit of a walk, climb required amidst a lane of shops, street to reach the temple but the experience after reaching is wholesome. Not much crowd when we went in but lots of monkeys so keep your belongings in check.

Kangra Fort

Mentioned on 
13 lists 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Kangra, India, the Kangra Fort stands as a testament to ancient history and architectural marvel. The fort, sprawling over 4 km on a hilltop at the confluence of River Banganga and Patal Ganga, boasts high walls and intricately carved stone entrances. Visitors can explore its rich heritage through audio tours and a museum displaying artifacts, sculptures, and photographs.
I visited Kangra Fort during my trip to Himachal Pradesh, and it was a wonderful experience. This fort is one of the oldest in India and is full of history and stories. The moment I entered, I felt like I had stepped back in time. The fort is built on a hill, and the views from the top are amazing. You can see rivers flowing below and the mountains all around — it’s truly a peaceful and beautiful sight. The walk up to the fort is a little long, with stone steps and ancient gates, but it’s worth it. Along the way, there are small temples and ruins that make you think about how people lived here hundreds of years ago. The information boards are helpful in learning about the fort’s history. As a visitor, I felt calm and curious. The fresh mountain air and silence made the experience even better. It’s not very crowded, which makes it a great place to explore slowly. If you love nature, history, and peaceful places, Kangra Fort is a must-visit. Take your time, enjoy the views, and feel the connection to India’s rich past.

Beautiful & historic Fort in Kangra. The architecture is beautiful & worth exploring. There’s lot of stairs to climb to get to the top where you get the view of beautiful river flowing & mountains covered with clouds. You can sit, enjoy the view or go for a small picnic. A small ticket of 20rs is needed for entry. Many people visit there with their families so might be slightly crowded. Restroom available inside is not very clean. Beautiful flowers & greenery inside.

Visiting Kangra Fort was an incredible experience! 🌄 The fort is majestic and steeped in history, perched on a hill with breathtaking views of the Kangra Valley. Walking through its ancient stone walls and gates, you really feel the stories of centuries gone by. The architecture is stunning, with intricate carvings and impressive fortifications that show the skill of the craftsmen of that era. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, making it perfect for photography or just soaking in nature. The site is well-maintained, though wearing comfortable shoes is a must because there’s a lot of walking and some steep climbs. Local guides are available and really add value by sharing fascinating historical anecdotes. Overall, Kangra Fort is a must-visit for history buffs, nature lovers, and anyone who appreciates breathtaking views combined with cultural heritage. Definitely a day trip you’ll remember! 🏰🌿

Beautiful fort. Tis incredible to see such feats of architecture so high up in the mountains of Himalayas. It is easy to get to, and the hike is not bad at all. It was not crowded when we visited. There's also a museum across from the Fort that you can visit to know about its history.

Kangra Fort - Amazing fort & museum, so underrated. Centuries of history, steeped in stone. Some claim it be over 2000 years old. Needs good guides and stone tablets to read. Good there were only a few people. It is a gem tucked just off the highway to Kangra & Dharamshala.
Aqua C — Google review
Such a nice place to visit and to know the history of Kangra better. You must have seen fort before but he speciality of this fort is that it is solely built on a mountain so it will give you a trekking with a fort vibe. Must visit if you are near by.
Abhishek S — Google review
The views from the top are quite nice. But the place could be maintained much better — parts of it felt neglected, and there wasn’t much information to help understand its history. It’s worth a short visit if you’re in the area.

Beautiful, humbling place. There was so much to experience from the Golden temple to the jora service to the langar service to the gold sewa workshop. The museums on-site are also there to serve as a reminder of the resilience that Sikhs have had to have to survive and become a large community. There are many gurudwaras and soravars (lakes) on-site to take amrat as well. To be able to sit under the trees that some of the Gurus had done so was also wonderful. A beautiful place to visit.

Visiting Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, was a truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment you step inside, the positive energy of the place surrounds you completely. The sight of the golden structure reflecting on the holy water is absolutely breathtaking, it feels serene and spiritual in every sense. The seva done by volunteers, from helping visitors to preparing and serving food in the langar, is truly inspiring. The langar experience itself is something everyone should have at least once, pure, and full of devotion. The entire temple complex is extremely well-maintained, clean, and beautifully organized despite the huge crowds. The pathway around the sarovar is peaceful for sitting or walking, especially in the early morning or late evening when the lighting makes it look magical. Overall, Sri Harmandir Sahib is not just a religious place but a symbol of peace, equality, and faith. No matter what your background is, you’ll feel a deep sense of spirituality here. A must-visit place that truly touches the heart.

Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, originally built by Guru Ram Das Ji, is a full-on serenity powerhouse. The entire space operates like a high-efficiency ecosystem — calm energy, timeless architecture, and a 24/7 langar that serves thousands with seamless execution. Many devotees believe that with the Guru’s blessings, even the toughest illnesses can find relief and healing here. Stepping inside feels like your mind gets a hard reset — clarity, balance, and a sense of collective harmony all in one place.

Good experience ❤️‍🩹 15 sites Sri Harmandir Sahib, widely known as the Golden Temple, is the holiest Gurdwara and the most significant pilgrimage site in Sikhism. Located in the heart of Amritsar, Punjab, it is a symbol of human brotherhood and equality, welcoming people of all castes, creeds, and races. Key Details Name Origin: "Harmandir" means "Temple of God" (Hari = God, Mandir = Temple), while "Sahib" denotes respect. It is called the Golden Temple because its upper stories and dome are adorned with approximately 400-500 kilograms of pure gold leaf. Location and Architecture: The temple complex is built on a 67-foot-square platform in the center of the Amrit Sarovar (Pool of Nectar), a large sacred water tank. The main temple structure is connected to the shore by a causeway. A unique architectural feature is its four entrances, symbolizing that the path to God is open to everyone from all directions.

Shri Mata Chintpurni ji Temple

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
The Shri Mata Chintpurni Temple is a revered pilgrimage site and one of the Shaktipeeths in India, located in Una district, Himachal Pradesh. According to legend, it is believed to be the place where Sati's feet fell after Lord Shiva carried her corpse and wandered in sorrow. Devotees from all over India visit this majestic temple to worship at the lotus feet of Maa Chintpurni.
After standing in a long queue for almost 6 hours, we managed to get darshan of Mata Chintpurni Ji. This temple is a major pilgrimage destination and one of the 51 Shakti Peethas in India. Devotees from all across the country visit here to pray for their long-cherished wishes and desires to come true. I have seen many married couples coming here with their newborns, with the purpose to offer prayers after wish fulfilment. The temple's main gate is made of gold and once you enter you can get a clear darshan of the idol. Pandits are available to help you with the pooja. There is a tree where you can tie the sacred thread, while uttering your wish or desire in your heart that you want to get fulfilled. Someone has even tied a twin-baby doll on the tree, maybe after getting blessed with twins. I feel grateful and privileged for getting the opportunity to visit such a powerful spiritual place. Shoes need to be kept in one of the many pooja-item shops. Crowd management is really commendable. Highly recommended to visit.😇🙏🏻🛕

The local market near the temple is lively, with many stalls selling prasad, flowers, and souvenirs. There are also small eateries around where you can enjoy simple local food.

visited Chintpurni Mata Temple in Amb, Una, and it was a truly blissful experience. We reached there by taxi, the road was smooth, though about half a kilometer before the temple it became a little sloppy. From the drop point, it was just a 10-minute walk to the shrine. The walk itself felt divine, surrounded by serenity and devotees. The temple is one of the Shakti Peethas, believed to be the place where the feet of Goddess Sati fell, making it a site of immense historical and spiritual importance. The aura inside the temple was filled with positive energy, giving me a deep sense of calm and strength. Overall, the visit was peaceful, well-organized, and spiritually uplifting. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking blessings, inner peace, and a connection with the divine.

Rewalsar Lake is calm, beautiful, and a great place to just sit, chill, and stare into the distance like you’re solving the mysteries of life. The view is lovely, the breeze is nice… but let’s be honest — there’s not a whole lot to “do” here. And before you get any bright ideas — don’t feed the fish. Unless you’re carrying ₹5000 just for the fine. The fish look hungry, but the rules are stricter than school exams. There are some snack stalls nearby and a few places to try Tibetan food, which is actually pretty good and worth a bite. Overall: Great place to relax, click some peaceful pics, and enjoy the lake view — just don’t expect too much action. Come here when your soul needs a break, not when you’re craving an itinerary.

It is located around 18-20 kms away from Ner Chowk. The road to reach there is narrow, and being widened at the very end. The whole town is located around the Lake. The lake is sacred amongst Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists. There’s a monastery, a Shiva temple and a Gurudwara around the lake. The lake is beautiful and it has lot of fish inside it. The garden needs a bit of maintenance and cleaning. There’s a car parking inside the lake premises.

Located in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, the Bhakra Dam is a massive concrete gravity dam that spans the Satluj River. It was constructed from 1948 to 1963 and stands at a towering height of 207 meters, making it one of the world's highest concrete gravity dams. Covering an area of 168.35 square kilometers, it is India's third-largest reservoir.
When on my bike (a Honda cb350) to the Bhakra Dam from Dharamshala. It took me 3 hours to reach. The Dam felt under overwhelming. But the road is breathtaking and I enjoyed every second of it. Note there are check posts 500 meters before and after the dam where you have to show your ID. Photographer is prohibited within those 500 meters.

It is in Bhakra Village in Bilaspur district, Himachal Pradesh (India) It is the highest gravity dam in Asia. The dam forms the Gobind Sagar reservoir. To visit the dam you need to get a pass and register your entry. We went there on Sunday and there was no crowd at all. We had seen the dam from outside because we didn't have visiting passes. You can also visit a few popular temples near the place.

A big and spectacular dam. Ysu can drive beside the dam and see it's beauty, If want to go on the top of the dam then you need to take permission from the local authorities to visit. Photography is not allowed at the Dam but from distant you can take beautiful pictures of the dam, Like I have done. A devine place Nainadevi is also around 20 km from there.

The dam is spectacular. You need to take permits from the local authorities to visit. There is an office at the checkpoint for the same. Also, while the signboard are displayed on the route, it is somewhat tricky to find the correct route. It is better to confirm with the locals on major turns. Photography is not allowed at the Dam but there are a few locations before and after where beautiful pictures of the dam facade and the reservoir can be clicked. If you are also visiting Nainadevi (20 km / 30-35 minutes from there), it is better to start at the temple and view the dam on the way back as the time needed for the dam is not too much.

There are boating point in this area, but you have to drive for like 6 KM more to reach boating point. Don’t pay extra for boating. Private boats ask for like 600 to 800 per boat. Take government boats for like 30 ₹ per person. If you find this things helps you, please comment or like on this. Happy travelling…

Virasat-e-Khalsa

Mentioned on

Museum
Heritage museum
Specialty Museums
The Virasat-e-Khalsa museum is a remarkable fortress-style structure that features exhibits and galleries dedicated to the history of Sikhism. It offers an incredible portrayal of both ancient and contemporary times, with special attention given to light and sound effects within the museum. The wax statues are so lifelike that they can easily be mistaken for real people, making it a perfect example of art and creativity.
A must-visit place that beautifully showcases the rich history and spiritual legacy of Sikhism. The architecture is simply breathtaking — a perfect blend of modern design and cultural depth. The galleries inside take you on an immersive journey through the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and important events in Sikh history. Entry is free, and phones are allowed, but photography inside the museum is strictly not allowed — which honestly helps you stay present and absorb the experience better. The museum is well-maintained, peaceful, and has a calming vibe throughout. One downside — the cafeteria inside is currently closed, so plan your food/snack breaks accordingly. Also, it’s a bit of a walk from the main gate to the entrance, so wear comfy shoes and maybe carry water, especially during sunny days. Overall, a beautifully curated experience and a great place to learn, reflect, and feel proud of Punjab’s heritage.

After visiting the Gurudwara at Anandpur Sahib, I was looking for a place to have lunch when I came across the Virasat-e-Khalsa. I decided to visit with my family, and it turned out to be a wonderful choice. On arrival, I discovered that the complex houses the Virasat-e-Khalsa Museum along with a beautiful park that you can explore. The museum is vast and beautifully curated, providing an immersive experience into the rich history, culture, and sacrifices of our Gurus. It showcases how they preserved and promoted the heritage of our land through challenging times, making it both educational and inspiring. The Virasat-e-Khalsa restaurant on-site serves simple yet delicious food at very reasonable prices. Overall, the Virasat-e-Khalsa complex provides a perfect combination of tasty food, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a deep cultural and historical experience — truly a must-visit in Anandpur Sahib

Site - Huge. Landscape -Qater body around. Architecture - Architect Moshe Sedie, Israel. Interior - No idea- Great- 5 star. Art Work - No idea - The best and great. 5 star. Lighting - No idea- Very Poor- 1 star. Sound - No idea. Only if you download the app and use headphone. --- It has a beautiful architecture but more than that Art Work inside, displaying whole history of Sikhi starting from its inception to 1948. Everything so beautifully designed, executed various pavilions, it is totally mesmerising. Artist put so much effort to connect all dots well. But sadly, lighting design is upto 5% thus absolutely flawed. Very first three story pavillion has day & night theme depicting 24 hours life in Punjab from rural to urban, from shop to home to all religious places but time for night is longer than the day thus you are unable to see the beauty and hard work out by artist/s and from behind guards keeps whistling, insisting you to keep moving (though it was not crowded at all!!)!! And this fault in lighting design is everywhere, less or more, you can't even read some display texts!! Ita worth visiting multiple times. Required time duration to complete it - 3-4 hours. Toilets - lavish and clean. Timing -1000 to 1630 (Monday Closed). Timing must be recieved, must be open ar 0900.

This was a very spiritually uplifting Gurudwara to visit. The Gurudwara is very well managed and meticulously maintained. Everything was perfect. The upstairs of the Gurudwara has the Darbar hall as well as historic weapons of Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji (Sri Sahib and Katar) while the downstairs has horse prints of Guru Sahib’s horse. The Gurudwara offers langar, a travellers hostel (200RS per night for very basic accommodation) as well as langar and free parking. A true blessing to visit.

Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji came to this place 4 times. After winning the Battle of Bhangani on his way back to Anandpur Sahib, via Gurdwara Sri Baoli Sahib Dhakauli and Gurdwara Sri Nadha Sahib Panchkula, Guru Gobind Singh arrived here. At the time a bhatha (kiln) was situated. It was burning at full capacity. Guru Ji asked the bhatha labourers about a place he could rest. Knowingly or unknowningly the labourers pointed towards the bhatha. Guru Ji directed his horse (Neela) to step on the extremely hot kiln. At once the bhatha cooled down and Guru Ji's horse hoof left a mark (a hoof print which can be seen at the Gurdwara). One of the labourers informed Chaudhary Nihang Khan, the owner of the bhatha, who was in his Qila at the time. He rushed to the bhatha and to his astonishment saw Guru Gobind Singh sitting on the bhatha. Chaudhary bowed his head in front of the Guru and asked for a pardon. Chaudhary then took Guru Ji to his fort. On the following day, Guru Gobind Singh and his Singhs proceeded to Anandpur. During Guru Gobind Singh's second visit, Guru Ji came to this place for the engagement of Alam Khan, Chaudary Nihang Khan's son. On Guru Gobind Singh's return from Kurukshetra, Guru Ji stopped here for his third visit. After Guru Gobind Singh left Anandpur for the final time, Guru stopped here for his forth and final visit. He asked Nihang Khan to look after Bhai Bachittar Singh as Bhai Ji had been mortally wounded. As a huge mughal force was chasing Guru Ji, he left. But before leaving, Guru Ji provided Nihang Khan with a Sri Sahib, a katar and a shield. The items can be viewed at the Gurdwara and Bhai Bachittar Singh's shastaars can be viewed at Gurdwara Sri Shaheed Ganj Bhai Bachittar Singh in Kotla Nihang, Ropar. Prakash Diwas of 1st, 5th and 10th Patshahi, Sangrand with Amrit Sanchar, Jor Mela from 1st Poh to 4th Poh and the anniversary of Baba Jiwan Singh Ji on 11th are organised here.

When exploring Kasauli, a visit to Christ Church is a must for travelers seeking a blend of heritage and spirituality. This historic church dates back to the British rule and showcases architectural splendor with stained-glass windows and a clock tower. Located near Mall road, it offers a tranquil environment that provides insight into the region's colonial past and spiritual heritage. The church's serene ambiance makes it an essential stop for cultural enrichment in any Kasauli itinerary.
It is one of the most mesmerizing, peaceful, and spiritual places I have ever been to. Because it is placed nearby the market or parking stand you can easily go there by foot. This parking space (50 Rs. for two wheeler) is for all tourists as vehicles from other places are not allowed in that area. Only taxis can go towards the sunset point and Gill Beet Trail. The church is surrounded by tall deodar trees, feels like a serene oasis. It's stunning example of Gothic architecture, with its stained glass windows beautifully shows the scenes of Jesus Christ and Mother Mary.  The wooden interiors and sloping roof give it an enchanting, old-world charm. A number of tourists come to visit this Church especially on weekends. Even if you are not religious, you will find yourself drawn to its beauty and serenity and it is truly magical. The church is well-maintained, clean, and has a rich history that you can learn about from the friendly people there. Officially, the photography is not allowed inside, you can capture some gorgeous pictures outside as the church framed by the lush surroundings. At this church, you can experience the glimpse of history, beauty, and spirituality together. It is must visit placed in Kasauli.

Christ Church, Kasauli – A Peaceful Hilltop Retreat with a Touch of History Nestled in the serene hills of Kasauli, Christ Church is a beautiful and calming place to visit, especially if you're someone who enjoys peaceful environments and colonial charm. Located at the heart of this quaint hill station, the church stands as a quiet reminder of British-era architecture, with its stunning Gothic design, stained-glass windows, and tall pine trees surrounding it. The church is not just a religious spot but also a perfect place for travelers seeking tranquility. The calmness of the area, the cool breeze, and the scenic views make it ideal for reflection, photography, or simply sitting and soaking in the peace. Being one of the oldest churches in Himachal Pradesh (built in 1853), it carries historical significance too. What makes it special: Situated in a picturesque hill station, surrounded by lush greenery and colonial-era buildings. Offers a calm and peaceful atmosphere, away from the chaos of city life. Great spot for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and nature seekers. Just a short walk from Mall Road, making it accessible for all. One downside to keep in mind is the presence of monkeys in the area. While they generally don’t bother visitors if left alone, it's advisable not to carry food openly or engage with them. Pro tips: Visit during early morning or late afternoon for the best experience. Avoid feeding or teasing monkeys. Carry a camera – the church and its surroundings are truly photogenic. Whether you're in Kasauli for a weekend getaway or just passing through, Christ Church is definitely worth a visit for its timeless charm and peaceful vibes.

On a recent visit to Kasauli, I had the pleasure of visiting Christ Church, and it was a truly serene and memorable experience. We went on a Saturday morning, and to our delight, there was no wait, allowing us to enter and explore at our own pace. The church itself is a beautiful example of neo-Gothic architecture, with a peaceful and timeless atmosphere. Inside, the stunning stained-glass windows depicting Christ, Mother Mary, and St. Francis and St. John are the main attraction. The vibrant colors and intricate details are breathtaking, especially when the light streams through them. It's the kind of artistry that makes you want to sit and contemplate for a while. A unique and touching part of the visit was the opportunity to buy candles for prayer. You simply sit inside the church, and a caretaker comes around to offer candles. There's something deeply personal and humbling about lighting a candle in such a historic and spiritual space. It’s a simple act that adds a layer of personal reflection to the visit. The overall feeling is one of tranquility and calm. It’s a place to escape the hustle and bustle, to find a moment of peace, and to appreciate the history and architecture. The lack of crowds on a Saturday was a major plus, making the experience even more intimate. Whether you are a history buff, a spiritual seeker, or just looking for a quiet place to sit and think, Christ Church is a must-visit in Kasauli.

The Christ Church Kasauli situated close to the bus stand, was constructed by the the British family who founded the town of Kasauli itself. The church is a magnificent structure built in the shape of a cross. Set amidst a grove of chestnut and fir trees, the church offers quiet and tranquil atmosphere. Earlier the church was known by the name of Anglican Church. In the year 1970, the church was brought under the aegis of the CNI (Churches of North India). It is currently managed by the diocese of Amritsar. The Christ Church is the prime building in the centre of the heritage area of Kasauli town and as one enters the main town, this is the first building which comes to view. This church was previously an Anglican church and was founded in the year 1844,😇🙏

A very beautiful church built in 1800s by the Britishers. Marvellous architecture, very similar to other churches established by the Britishers in various hill stations across India. The church is open from morning till a little post sunset. The church has guards ensuring one doesn't litter it and create nuisance. There is a washroom and parking nearby. The church is very close to the basement parking at kasauli i.e. the moment you enter the hill station fee barrier. A must go, once you are here.

Sunset Point in Kasauli is a popular destination for nature lovers and couples seeking romantic views. Located near the Kasauli Club, this lookout offers breathtaking vistas of the sun setting behind the majestic Himalayan mountains. Visitors can also enjoy sunrise views from this point, making it an ideal spot to start the day. The area surrounding Sunset Point is known for its misty wooded peaks and tranquil valleys, providing a serene atmosphere for quiet walks and photography opportunities.
A beautiful experience, and actually magical which will leave you confused whether it's dawn or dusk. A easy walk about 30 mins to one hour, but you won't feel the pinch. As the walk is through beautiful ancient british era bungalows and trees, and flowers blooming. Just near sunset point is a small cafe. I didn't like cafe much as it was filled with plastic (selling items). The walk was beautiful and so was the timing. It felt like looking at a sea with mountains, and the sun dipping. We were there for an hour until the sun finally went in. Beware of the monkeys, don't feed them please. Don't try to shoo them either, just walk your path and they would be fine. Please don't litter this beautiful place, the army takes in a lot of effort to keep it open to the rest of country. We should respect that.

I've been visiting Kasauli Sunset Point regularly over the past 15 years — around 15 to 20 times — and it never loses its charm. This spot holds a special place in my heart for its peaceful and calming atmosphere. The serenity here is unmatched, especially on quiet weekdays when you can truly absorb the beauty of nature without distractions. The view during sunset is breathtaking, and if you’re lucky to catch it on a cloudy day, the place turns magical — almost surreal. The best time to visit is from September to December, when the weather is pleasant and the skies are clear. Tip: Try to avoid weekends (Saturday & Sunday), as the place tends to get crowded with tourists from nearby states. On such days, the peaceful charm fades and the area feels more like a regular park rather than a serene hill station. If you're someone who appreciates quiet moments and scenic beauty, make sure to plan your visit during weekdays. Kasauli Sunset Point is truly a gem — a peaceful escape that deserves to be treated with care and respect.

One of the most beautiful sunset views I’ve ever seen—peaceful hills, glowing skies, and a calm vibe that’s hard to describe. It's nature’s therapy. I visited on a weekend and found it a bit crowded, so try going on a weekday for a quieter experience. There are two small eateries nearby for chai and snacks—simple but perfect. ✨ Tips: – Arrive 20–30 mins before sunset for the best spot – Wear a light jacket (it gets breezy) – Avoid weekends if you prefer less crowd – Carry your camera—every angle is a wallpaper

A Golden Farewell at Sunset Point, Kasauli Sunset Point in Kasauli truly lives up to its name, offering a spectacular view as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple. It's a must-visit for anyone in Kasauli seeking a tranquil and picturesque experience. Getting there is quite easy. You can enjoy a pleasant walk from the main parking area, which is a great way to take in the serene surroundings. Alternatively, taxis are readily available to drop you closer to the viewpoint, making it accessible for everyone. The sunset itself is the main draw here, and it's absolutely mesmerizing. The panoramic views of the valleys and distant peaks make for a stunning backdrop, perfect for photography or simply soaking in the natural beauty. A crucial tip: Don't bother visiting on a cloudy day! The entire purpose of the point is to witness the sunset, and if the sky is overcast, you'll be left disappointed. Plan your visit for a clear evening to ensure you get the full experience. Be prepared when you go, as there are no shops or vendors at Sunset Point. Remember to carry your own water bottles and any snacks you might need to stay hydrated and energized while you enjoy the view. Overall, a highly recommended spot for a beautiful end to your day in Kasauli!

If you're in Kasauli, you simply can't miss this. Watching the sunset from this point is a breathtaking experience. Seeing the sun dip behind the hills and paint the whole sky in shades of orange, pink, and red is just magical. It's the perfect way to end the day. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, with a cool breeze and a panoramic view of the valleys below. It makes you feel so calm and connected to nature. Whether you're a tourist or a local, making your way here for the evening is 100% worth it. It’s the highlight of Kasauli!

Named after Colonel James Gilbert, who established it during the British rule in India, this trail provides an adventurous hiking experience.

Great trek with mesmerizing views. This is a must go trail if you're around Kasauli and a nature lover. On the trail, there aren't many shops, so carry water and snacks (and pls keep the trail clean). There's a nice view of sunset at the end of the trail.

A Serene Stroll Through Nature: Gilbert Trail Kasauli Gilbert Trail in Kasauli offers a truly peaceful escape into nature, earning a solid four-star rating. It's a fantastic spot for those looking to unwind and soak in the tranquility of the hills. Be prepared for a walk! While you can either walk or hire a cab from the main parking area to the starting point, you'll still need to put in about 300 meters of walking to truly immerse yourself in the trail. The path is well-defined, and you'll often find people stopping to take photos, capturing the stunning views and serene surroundings. It's easy to see why – the lush greenery and fresh air are incredibly invigorating. The real charm of Gilbert Trail lies in its quietude. It’s a very peaceful place, perfect for a leisurely stroll, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the calm away from the bustling town. Just remember to carry your own food and water, as there are no shops or facilities along the trail. This is a purely natural experience, and being self-sufficient will enhance your enjoyment.

I recently visited Gilbert Trail with a group of six friends, and it was such a wonderful experience that I felt compelled to share. From the moment we arrived, the serene atmosphere provided a perfect escape from the city's hustle. The trail itself is impeccably maintained—wide, clean, and paved, making it easy for all seven of us to walk side-by-side without any trouble. We spent the entire time chatting and laughing while enjoying the breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and lush landscape. The peaceful sounds of nature and the shade from the trees created a truly tranquil backdrop for our catch-up session. What we appreciated most was how the trail caters to everyone. Whether you're looking for a vigorous walk or a leisurely stroll, the flat terrain is accessible and enjoyable. We noticed many families, joggers, and other small groups, all sharing the space respectfully. There are also plenty of benches along the way, which was great for when we wanted to pause, sit together, and just soak in the natural beauty. It was the ideal blend of light exercise, beautiful scenery, and quality time with friends. I cannot recommend Gilbert Trail enough for anyone looking to spend a refreshing few hours outdoors. We left feeling rejuvenated and are already planning our next visit

Sanjeevni Hanuman Temple, Kasauli

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Manki Point, also known as Sanjeevni Hanuman Temple, is a small Hindu temple located on a hilltop in Kasauli. The temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman and is home to many monkeys. Visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding area from the top of the hill. The temple was recently reopened after being closed due to Covid-19 restrictions. Visitors are not allowed to bring cameras or phones and must deposit all bags at the check point before proceeding on foot.
A visit to Hanuman Ji temple is truly rewarding! Be prepared for a hard trek and a long walk with many stairs — it’s definitely challenging. But once you reach the top, the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views make it all worth it.”

Everything A grade, only to reach there especially for elderly is bit difficult.As vehicles are not allowed and got to walk steep road for 4 to 5 km is difficult . Govt should start e rickshaws for public.

This is the highest point of Kasauli. Took a cab all the way up to the air force sub station. From there it was a 30 min climb (would have been much faster if I was alone). It is just a lot of stairs but they are nicely paved and well maintained. Senior citizens and even 70+ year olds also come up if they take a lot of rest in between (there are places to sit and rest). The temple at the top has a peaceful vibe. There are monkeys here and you'll be instructed to not carry food in your hand. If you have the "prasadam" from the temple, carry them in your pockets. This is also known as the Monkey point or Manki point. Our cab driver told us "Manki" is not a spelling error but refers to the hindi word "mann ki" (something related to heart/soul) but not sure about it's authenticity. The main downside of visiting this place is that it is close to the air force station and all electronic devices are prohibited - meaning no photography at all. Most of the pics you see here on this pin are actually from different places in Kasauli (added erroneously ...smh). Some pictures of the temple can be taken from a km away from the Gilbert Trail if you zoom in. There is a paid locker where you submit your bags and devices and go for the hike.

Temple is located at 6500 feets. 300 steps to climb. Only taxis are allowed from Mall Road Car Parking or you trek for an hour. Mountain views are awesome. It is believed that during Lord Hanumans flight from himalayas bringing Sanjeevani booti his left foot was rested on this hill and hence the importance of this place. Mobiles, photography etc strictly prohibited 🚫 in this area.
CA. G — Google review
Its a beautiful temple located on mountain top of kasauli. The visiting time is till 4pm all around the year and 1-2 is lunch time. There is no Entry fee. Taxi service is available from mall road to manki point for 200-250 rupees per person but I would highly recommend to cover the beautiful trail on foot as you get to enjoy the beautiful path. Its is hardly 3-4 kms and an easy trail. If you are lucky enough you get to see the valley covered with beautiful flowers specially during monsoon (mid July- September end). Or you can choose the small path going via sunset point which connects to manki point in between and is about 1-1.5kms and slightly steep. Phones, smart watches and bags are not allowed inside the temple area as it is a Cantt area and you can submit your belongings by paying some charges. Carry cash as you will be needing it for buying food/water inside the temple premises. After entering the cantt area, temple is half kilometer on top with 282 stairs. You can enjoy the view from top. Beware of monkeys if carrying food items.
Pratiksha N — Google review
the Sanjeevani Hanuman Temple is a must visit place in kasauli. Located atop a mountain, the temple is accessible only by foot. Be aware that it's situated within an Air Force station, meaning no mobile phones or electronic devices are allowed inside. A paid locker facility is available to store your belongings before you proceed. Security checks are mandatory before entering the temple area. Please note that many Google Maps photos for this location are inaccurate due to the no-phone policy; they often depict other Kasauli locations. Despite these restrictions, the temple itself has a wonderful, peaceful atmosphere and is definitely worth the trek. One important tip: monkeys are abundant, so don't carry food items or other stuff in your hànd and it's advisable to visit in a group.

Amazing experience, slightly tiring as you have to climb your way and it’s steep. You get a beautiful view of Kasauli from the top, as it’s the highest point there and certainly hold high religious value and gives peace. A must visit place, if you are in Kasauli. No entry fee, no electronic gadget or cameras allowed but they have a paid counter to deposit your belongings safely.

I visited Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh early morning recently, and it was a refreshing experience! This man-made lake, built in 1958 by Le Corbusier’s team, is a serene spot with calm waters reflecting the Shivalik hills. The early morning vibe was magical—cool air, chirping birds, and a stunning sunrise painting the sky. The walking path was perfect for a peaceful stroll, and I loved watching locals jogging and practicing yoga. The nearby café served tasty snacks, adding to the charm. However, some areas had litter, which slightly detracted from the beauty. Also, more benches would’ve been nice for resting. Despite these, Sukhna Lake’s tranquility and scenic views make it a lovely spot to start the day in Chandigarh.

A Serene Escape and the Jewel of Chandigarh! During my visit to Chandigarh for the ISRT meeting this September, a trip to Sukhna Lake was the perfect way to unwind.

A leisurely stroll along the clean, wide promenade was so refreshing and offered a wonderful escape from the city's hustle.

I have been visiting this place and it remains an incredible destination to relax and reconnect with nature. Sukhna Lake, a serene reservoir at the foothills of the Shivalik Hills in the Himalayas, is an integral part of Chandigarh’s planned cityscape. Even today, it stands as one of India’s most famous artificial lakes and planned city, offering a tranquil experience with still waters. Nestled at the forefront of Sector 1, the lake is surrounded by lush forests and sits adjacent to the governor’s residences of both states. The morning sunshine here is truly mesmerizing, creating a magical aura for early risers. Joggers, walkers, and yoga enthusiasts find their perfect spot along the lake’s edge to embrace the refreshing start of the day.

Very faithful and peaceful and beautiful palace. Spiritual healing and peace are the properties of the Gurudwara Dukhnivaran Sahib, one of the most revered Gurudwaras in Punjab. Located in Lehal, a part of Patiala, it is famous for its curing properties for any ailments that anyone may be suffering from. Visitors have faith in abluting in the holy water of the pond here, because of its healing qualities. Gurudwara Dukhnivaran Sahib's origin is tied to a villager named Bhag Ram from Lehal, who sought the blessings of Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji to end a mysterious plague afflicting the area. In January 1672, the Guru visited Lehal, spending time by the village pond, preaching and meditating under a banyan tree. His presence and meditation led to the plague's eradication. Consequently, the site where Guru Ji meditated came to be known as Dukhnivaran, meaning "the end of all sufferings", and this name was given to the Gurudwara. Between 1748 and 1782, Raja Amar Singh of Patiala established a garden in honour of Guru Tegh Bahadur's special visit, entrusting its care to Nihang Sikhs. Court records from 1870 mention a garden belonging to the Guru and a well, used by the Nihangs. In 1920, plans to build a railway line threatened the banyan tree where Guru Tegh Bahadur had sat, but workers refused to cut it down. Consequently, Maharaja Bhupinder Singh cancelled the project. Although a Gurudwara had not yet been built, a committee was formed in 1930 to raise funds and begin construction. Twelve years later, in 1942, the building was completed under the supervision of Maharaja Yadavindra Singh, a devout Sikh. True to its name, Gurudwara Dukhnivaran Sahib is believed to alleviate grief for those who visit with a pure heart and offer sincere prayers.

Gurdwara Shri Dukh Nivaran Sahib is not just a religious site; it's an oasis of profound peace and spiritual solace. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere envelops you in a sense of calm and serenity. The architecture is stunningly beautiful, with the gleaming white marble and gold domes creating a majestic yet welcoming sight. The complex is incredibly well-maintained, with spotlessly clean premises and beautifully landscaped gardens that invite quiet contemplation. The highlight, as the name suggests ('Dukh Nivaran' meaning 'Eraser of Sorrows'), is the peaceful and uplifting energy of the main sanctum. Listening to the continuous recitation of Gurbani (Guru's hymns) is a heart-touching experience that feels truly liberating. The Langar (community kitchen) is run with immense dedication and selfless service (Seva). The food is simple, delicious, and served with so much love and warmth, embodying the core Sikh principle of equality and community. Whether you are seeking spiritual blessings, historical knowledge, or simply a quiet place to find inner peace, this Gurdwara is a must-visit. The volunteers and staff are helpful and humble. An absolutely unforgettable experience that stays with you long after you've left. Highly recommended for everyone.

Shri Kali Devi Mandir, a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Kali, was constructed by Sikh Maharaja Bhupinder Singh in 1936. It is a highly revered religious site that remains bustling throughout the day with devotees seeking blessings from Maa Kali and hoping for their wishes to be fulfilled. Situated in Patiala, this must-visit temple boasts of new infrastructure and a well-maintained parking area.
We visited the temple on a Sunday and believe me it was too crowded. We don't get to see the deity properly as the priests will literally push you away. Frankly speaking, cleanliness of the surroundings of the temple needs to be worked on...it was littered with garlands, wine bottles and Puja items. If these things are not allowed inside the temple..then it must be restricted.

Gurudwara Sri Manji (Baoli) Sahib Ji is a stunning Sikh temple adorned with gilded domes and intricately designed marble prayer halls, set within a spacious colonnaded courtyard. This sacred site marks the location where the sixth Guru, Guru Hargobind, took refuge during his journey to meet Emperor Jahangir. Nestled along G.T.
The Gurudwara Manji Sahib was built on the site where the sixth Guru stayed during his visit to Ambala city. The main Gurudwara building is on G.T. Road (Shershah Suri Marg). Devotees come to this pilgrimage site to take a dip in the nearby pond. They also take nectar from the stepwell built by the sixth Guru during his stay here. Gurdwara Baoli Sahib or Gurdwara Manji Sahib – It is said that Guru Hargobind stayed here on his way to meet Emperor Jahangir. Villagers of nearby Khurrampur Majri complained of a chronic shortage of drinking water. The Guru encouraged them to dig a stepwell and ordered some of the Sikhs living there to help the villagers dig the stepwell and bridge it. On returning from Delhi, the Guru was happy to see that the work was completed. The Sikhs established a memorial platform, the Manji Sahib, at the place where the Guru lived near Baoli.

Very calm and serene place. Visited this place during my SSC exam. The place is beautiful especially at night. There's a pond behind the main Gurudwara which is lovely. They have good room facility to stay at night. Only 300 for a night. Rooms are spacious and they are also clean as well. Although the top most rooms can feel a little hot in summer. But it's the ideal place to stay if you are going for an exam.

Gurudwara Sri Manji Sahib Ji is one of the oldest Gurudwara Sahib in Ambala City. Many people come here to pay offerings to Guru Har gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Guru of Sikhs. This religious place also has a history attached to it. I have shared the details in the pictures. This Gurudwara Sahib has Bauli Sahib. It is believed whosoever drinks this holy water or takes bath from this holy water or She get rid of all the diseases and their wishes will be fulfilled. Waheguru ji Mehar karn 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Waheguru ji. A peaceful religious point (Gurudwara) associated with 6th Sikh guru, Guru Hargobind Sahib ji. He stayed here for 1 night while going to Gwalior jail from Amritsar. And on the request of local people the Guru dug the spot in this location to pour out holy water called Jal.

Place is well maintained. It reminds the period of mahabharat war and when Arjun refused to fight against his relatives, Loard krishna told him to fight as his karma and not to seek the fate of war because everything that happens is as per the wishes of bhagvan krishna.

Historically, it is an important place but very poorly maintained. Sarovar here is also not properly maintained. Scenes of Mahabharta are created through statues but kept in the rooms which can be seen through windows. A tree, names Akshay Vatt, which is believe to be from the period of Mahabharat or witness of Gita Updesh by Krishna to Arjuna is not well maintained.

Krishna, the embodiment of intellectual and spiritual glory has been a subject of adoration ever since the character got deified as a God. His versatile personality made him a deity. Unfolding the mystery of Krishna is virtually an enchanting experience as every time you untwine the fabric of Krishna you discover a new dimension in it. The divinity and human aspect of Krishna as revealed by his character in the literature is unparalleled in the history of human civilisation. He has been a source of perennial inspiration to the art and literature. He is the most popular character in Indian myths and legends. Washrooms available inside Water,drinks,ice creams available inside

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Brahma Sarovar, located in Thanesar, is a significant Hindu water pool surrounded by sculptures and temples. It is a historic site that has been mentioned by the 12th-century scholar Al Beruni in his memoirs about India. The sarovar attracts pilgrims, especially during solar eclipses when it is believed that taking a dip in its waters can absolve one of all sins.
A place with religious significance. It is believed that Lord Brahma performed a yajna here in which all demigods participated and since then this place is called Brahma Sarovar. A well maintained place. Lot of locals come here for morning and evening walks. There is a Hanuman ji temple outside the premise and Shiva temple inside along with Maa Katyayni temple and some other temples too. Very peaceful and serene place. In the evenings aarti is performed at the sarovar, just like Ganga aarti. We couldn’t attend the full aarti as a huge storm suddenly brewed up in Kurukshetra at the time of aarti. There are many incidents marked on the pillars which have sone relevance to Kurukshetra. I loved the place and it’s upkeep.

I had the chance to visit Brahma Sarovar in January this year, and it was truly a beautiful and peaceful experience. The place holds immense historical and spiritual significance, yet it’s surprisingly less known among tourists. The energy here is something you feel the moment you step in. It’s serene, scenic, and deeply rooted in India’s legacy. I really hope more efforts are made to promote this hidden gem—India needs to know more about treasures like this!

Brahma Sarovar is an ancient, sacred, man-made water tank in Kurukshetra, Haryana, India, associated with Lord Brahma and the Hindu faith. It is a significant pilgrimage site where devotees take holy dips for spiritual purification and which hosts the annual Gita Jayanti festival, commemorating the birth of the Bhagavad Gita. The area is also significant for its connection to the epic Mahabharata and offers a serene, peaceful environment with a traditional evening aarti ceremony.

Brahma Sarovar in Kurukshetra is an absolutely breathtaking place, blending natural beauty with spiritual tranquility. The vastness of the area is the first thing that strikes you—spanning across acres of land, it offers a serene and peaceful environment perfect for relaxation and reflection. The large ponds that fill the Sarovar are equally impressive, but dirty waters. One of the most memorable experiences here is the evening Aarti. The atmosphere during the Aarti is nothing short of magical—the sounds of devotional chants and the fragrance of incense fill the air, while the setting sun casts a golden hue over the entire area. It's a truly spiritual experience that brings a deep sense of peace to anyone who takes part in it. The sight of graceful swans gliding across the water adds an extra layer of charm to the place. Watching them move in harmony with the water is both mesmerizing and soothing. Whether you're a spiritual seeker, nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful spot to unwind, Brahma Sarovar is the perfect destination. The combination of its natural beauty, spiritual energy, and the peaceful ambiance makes Brahma Sarovar a must-visit when in Kurukshetra. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a meaningful and peaceful experience!

The history of Kalandar Peer in Panipat revolves around the revered Sufi saint Sheikh Sharfuddin Bu Ali Shah Qalandar Panipati, also known as Bu Ali Qalandar. Here's a summary of his life and the history associated with his shrine: Life of Bu Ali Qalandar: * Birth: Estimates vary, with some accounts placing his birth around 1209 CE in Panipat, Haryana, India. However, an inscription on his tomb suggests his birthplace was Ganja in present-day Azerbaijan. * Lineage: His father, Sheikh Fakhar Uddin, was a renowned scholar and saint, believed to be a descendant of Imam Abu Hanifa. * Education: Bu Ali Qalandar completed his studies at a young age and taught near the Qutub Minar in Delhi for about 20 years. * Spiritual Journey: He is associated with the Chishti and Owaisi Sufi orders. Legends describe periods of intense devotion and spiritual experiences that led to him being bestowed the title "Bu Ali" (Fragrance of Ali). * Qalandar: He embraced the Qalandar way of life, a distinct branch of Sufism characterized by their detached and often wandering lifestyle. * Literary Work: He authored a collection of Persian poetry called "Diwan Hazrat Sharafuddeen Bu Ali Qalandar," a significant work in Sufi literature. * Demise: He passed away in Panipat around 1324 CE. The Dargah (Shrine): * Construction: The dargah, mosque, and enclosure at Kalandar Chowk in Panipat were built by Mahabat Khan, a general during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Mahabat Khan's own tomb is located adjacent to the saint's mausoleum. * Significance: The tomb of Bu Ali Shah Qalandar is a highly respected pilgrimage site for people of all faiths. It is seen as a symbol of faith, harmony, and integrity. * Features: The dargah complex also houses the tombs of Hakim Mukaram Khan and Maulana Altaf Hussain Ali, a prominent Urdu poet. The left wall of the mausoleum has a Qasida (panegyric) inscribed in blue and gold, written by Zahuri Neishabouri. * Urs Mela: An annual Urs Mela (fair) is held at the dargah, attracting devotees from across the country. * Qawwali: Regular Qawwali (Sufi devotional singing) festivals are organized at the shrine. * Syncretic Tradition: Every Thursday, people from various religions gather at the dargah to offer prayers, highlighting the syncretic traditions of the region.

Peaceful serene spiritual and religious place. The tomb is around 700 years old and constructed by Mahabat Khan, a general in the service of Mughal emperor Jehangir, in the honor of the sufi saint of Chishti order. Devotees irrespective of caste and religion can be seen thronging to pay respect.

The Dargah of Hazrat Bu Ali Shah Qalandar in Panipat, Haryana, is a revered Sufi shrine dedicated to Shaykh Sharfuddin Bu Ali Qalandar Panipati (1209–1324 CE), a prominent saint of the Chishti order. Born in Panipat, he was a renowned scholar who taught near Delhi's Qutub Minar for two decades before embracing a life of spiritual devotion. His Persian poetry collection, Diwan Hazrat Sharafuddeen Bu Ali Qalandar, remains influential in Sufi literature. The mausoleum, constructed by Mughal general Mahabat Khan during Emperor Jahangir's reign, showcases exquisite Mughal architecture, including a blue and gold qasida (panegyric) inscribed by Persian poet Zahuri Neishabouri. Adjacent to the saint's tomb are the graves of Hakim Mukaram Khan and Urdu poet Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali. The shrine is a hub of interfaith harmony, attracting devotees from various religions, especially on Thursdays and during the annual Urs Mela, which features qawwali performances and communal meals. Located near Panipat Junction railway station, the dargah is easily accessible and stands as a testament to India's rich spiritual heritage. To delve deeper into the teachings and legacy of Hazrat Bu Ali Shah Qalandar, consider exploring his poetic works. The Deewan-e-Shah Bu Ali Qalandar is available in both hardbound and paperback editions, offering insights into his spiritual philosophy. For a broader perspective on Sufi traditions, We Are Lovers of the Qalandar provides a comprehensive overview. Additionally, for those interested in Islamic art, the Islamic Home Decoration Table Decor Bookend serves as a meaningful keepsake.

I recently visited Jurassic Water Park in Sonipat with my group of friends, and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable outings we’ve had in a long time. The park truly lives up to its name — the dinosaur-themed surroundings, lush greenery, and well-maintained rides make it a perfect getaway for both fun and relaxation. We spent the entire day there and didn’t feel bored even for a moment. The water slides and wave pool were the main highlights. Each ride offered a different thrill level, from high-speed slides for adventure lovers to gentle ones for those who just wanted to relax. The wave pool and rain dance area were also big hits with our group. The music and DJ added a lively vibe, and everyone enjoyed dancing under the sprinklers. One thing that stood out was the behavior of the staff — they were polite, friendly, and always ready to help. They ensured everyone’s safety and maintained cleanliness around the pools and sitting areas. The food court offered a decent variety of snacks and drinks at reasonable prices. Overall, our experience at Jurassic Water Park was fantastic. It’s a great destination for families, friends, or school groups looking to spend a fun-filled and refreshing day. We loved it and would definitely love to visit again!

Jurasik Park Inn – Honest Review I recently visited Jurasik Park Inn, and overall, it was a pretty average experience. Water rides were okay — nothing too exciting, and honestly, not well maintained. The pools were basic and lacked proper hygiene, which was a big letdown. We already had our own swimming shorts, but they still didn’t allow us entry without renting their own, which felt unnecessary and inconvenient. Food options were very limited, and whatever was available was overpriced for the quality. Definitely not value for money in that department. We bought our tickets via voucher deals at ₹650 per person, which was still manageable. But if we had paid the regular ₹999 per person, it would not have felt worth it at all. The parking area was spacious and well-managed — probably one of the few things that were truly good. Coming to safety and enjoyment — many rides seemed more risky than fun. Injuries felt more likely than thrills, and while the amusement rides were slightly better, some of them required extra charges, which was disappointing. In short, it’s an Average park — fine if you're getting a discounted deal and just want to spend a casual day out, but don’t expect anything too exciting or well-organized.

It's good but hygiene can be maintain. There was foul smell in water and no wave in pool area. They have water park first and amusement park in in back side.

Disappointing experience >Online tickets are useless, as we still have to take a counter ticket and entry bands and there is no seperate queue for those who have online tickets. >They don't even allow a water bottle inside..it's a full-on money making system inside. >It's a waste for a toddler parents. Because In kids slides adults are not allowed. And in adults slides kids are not allowed. >In the food area they have kept coolers.. Ofcourse because they are making money. But, in the waiting areas indoors/ outdoors...NO COOLERS..not even fan. > I was there till 3 pm, the rides for kids were not functional till that time. >The staff was not supportive and cooperative..at times they were rude too. > Child ticket is only applicable if a child is 4 feet or less. But if it's plus 1 or 2 inch, they will consider it under adult. Which is so foolish. > People from near by places can think of going to this place..but people travelling from noida/delhi and other far locations must think twice.
