Unforgettable Family Adventure in Ladakh!" Our family vacation with Planet Way Round was no ordinary trip – it was an exhilarating journey that we'll cherish forever. Dr. Rahul Chauhan's expertise and knowledge of the area were invaluable, taking us to hidden gems that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. His guidance made the off-roading drives through challenging terrain a breeze, and his care for each individual in our group was truly commendable. From stunning vistas of snow-capped mountains to pristine lakes and vast expanses of rugged terrain, Ladakh's natural beauty left us in awe. Dr. Rahul's passion for the region's history and culture added depth to our experience, making every moment count. What truly set this trip apart was Dr. Rahul's flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile. He never said no to our requests, and his dedication to ensuring our safety and comfort was impressive. This trip was one of the best breaks of our life, and we can't recommend Planet Way Round enough to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in the Himalayas. If you're seeking a journey that's more than just a vacation, look no further! Recommendation:Trust Dr. Rahul's expertise and let him guide you through the hidden gems of Ladakh. Don't miss the off-roading experiences and stunning natural beauty that this region has to offer! Would definitely recommend: To families, adventure-seekers, and anyone looking for a unique and immersive experience in Ladakh. Planet Way Round and Dr. Rahul Chauhan are the perfect guides to make your trip truly unforgettable!"

I had recently travelled to leh Ladakh with planet way around , as a co passenger with Rahul, words are quite less to express my gratitude the way the trip had went. I had a lifetime of experience with the most stunning, extremely beautiful places in Ladakh with the most adventurous experience without any fear. Been on some of the most dangerous terrain and roads, but with expertise Rahul had shown and the guidance he had provided , I had the wonderful and way more comfortable trip as I had imagined. I would definitely recommend Planet way around if you really want to go out of the box and experience the things which you do not have imagined also.

Church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
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.

An old style British era church reminds you of an epic journey to a place stationed somewhere in memories. The architecture of the church is very nice and you can spend some quiet time with God here. Inside the atmosphere is very nice and peaceful. Now this church attracts many tourists and it is just a few meters away from new parking Kasuali.

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.

A truly serene and beautiful spot in Kasauli! This old British-era church, with its stunning Gothic architecture and peaceful atmosphere, offers a perfect escape for quiet reflection. Surrounded by tall deodar trees and close to the market and parking, it’s easily accessible. The stained glass windows and wooden interiors add a magical charm. A must-visit for history lovers and anyone seeking tranquility!

A historic Neo-Gothic church built in 1853, located on Mall Road. Features stunning glass windows imported from England and beautiful architecture set among pine trees. The location offers peaceful valley views with natural pine fragrance. Mostly open on weekends for tourists.

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,😇🙏
Reena — Google review
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

Mentioned on 
+40 other lists 
Vista point
Sights & Landmarks
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.
Amit K — Google review
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 peaceful spot offering beautiful valley views, especially during sunset. Located 3 km from Mall Road - 2 km by taxi and 1 km walk required. The area is well-maintained by the Air Force and a small play area. Arrive 20-30 minutes early as the sunset happens quickly.
T R — Google review
The place has a really nice atmosphere and peaceful vibes. It’s surrounded by natural beauty and is known for its amazing sunset view. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see the sunset properly because the weather was bad that day. Still, it felt refreshing to visit — definitely worth coming back on a clear day!

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!

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.”

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.

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.

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.

Virasat-e-Khalsa

Mentioned on 
1 list 
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.

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

Very well designed, immersive galleries, informs about Sikhism in detailed narrative, impressive supporting visual narration. Iconic architecture by Moshe Safde and brilliant exhibits by NID. Ticketing could be improved, galleries could have more descriptions for further reference, sound from adjacent galleries distract.

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.

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. The moment I arrived, I was struck by the incredible sense of peace and tranquility.

A leisurely stroll along the clean, wide promenade was so refreshing and offered a wonderful escape from the city's hustle. The atmosphere was calm and rejuvenating, and I could see why it's such a beloved spot for locals and tourists alike. Sukhna Lake is truly the jewel of Chandigarh.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The temple's powerful vibrations will leave you feeling blessed and connected to the divine."
Prince K — Google review
Maa Kali Devi Temple in Patiala is one of the most revered temples dedicated to Goddess Kali, often considered second in significance only to the famous Kalighat Temple in Kolkata. The temple exudes a strong spiritual and peaceful atmosphere that many visitors immediately feel upon entering. It is not just a place of worship but also an important cultural and historical landmark of the Royal City Patiala. Saturdays usually attract large crowds of devotees, so those who prefer a calm and unhurried darshan may plan their visit on weekdays. The temple has long been known for its deep-rooted traditions, including stories of immense devotion where devotees make unique prayers and offerings out of divine faith. Overall, it is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to experience the spiritual heritage and living devotion that defines Patiala’s connection with Maa Kali. The Maa Kali Devi Temple in Patiala also houses a much older and revered temple of Maa Rajarajeshwari within the same premises, located centrally inside the complex.

It's a public park, located near the stadium. The entry to the park is free for the public, though parking of the vehicle next to the park is paid and limited. Best time to visit is during day in winters and evenings in summers. General cleanliness of the park is good. It's a good place to bring kids as the park holds good amount of playbees for them (on a payment though) . Best amongst them is the rent a bicycle, where one can hire a bike for self and the kids too and ride it on the bike track inside the park. There is a place which houses the eats, reasonably priced (vegetarian only). Hygiene along with taste including variety would be rated at 7/10.

The Dargah premise is very massive in size and it’s so beautiful. The role of management is commendable as the Dargah and its inner surroundings are very clean and very well maintained. Also, don’t forget to buy most famous Besan Barfi from here. It’s so tasty, less sugary and the quality is just awesome. Washrooms are so hygienic and tidy just like International Airports or Shopping Malls. Here, no one runs behind you to make you pay for Dharshan and getting blessings of Nakodar Darbar. The pond behind this Dargah is one of the most cleaned and beautiful pond I have ever seen in my life. The water is so clean and the palm trees surrounding it is just so scenic and amazing. This is a divine place. Please do come and get all your pains and sufferings removed at Darbar. Highly recommended👍👍👍👍🙏👌👌🤎🤎Jai Mastan Di.

My recent visit to Gurudwara Nanaksar Kaleeran Sahib was a deeply spiritual and peaceful experience. Surrounded by lush green fields and calm countryside air, this sacred place holds a unique aura of serenity and divine connection. As soon as I stepped inside the Gurudwara premises, I felt an overwhelming sense of calmness and purity. The melodious kirtan (hymns) being sung by the ragis created an atmosphere that touched the soul and helped quiet the mind. The architecture of the Gurudwara is beautiful — simple yet grand, reflecting traditional Sikh design with its white marble and golden dome. The premises were immaculately clean and well-maintained, showing the dedication of the sewadars who serve here with true devotion. The experience was further elevated when I received the Hukamnama Sahib, the divine order of the day, which felt personally guiding and deeply meaningful. I’ve attached the image of the Hukamnama as a cherished reminder of the spiritual wisdom received that day. The Langar (community meal), as always, was a symbol of equality and kindness — prepared and served with love, reminding us of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings of seva (selfless service) and vand chakna (sharing with others). Overall, my visit to Nanaksar Kaleeran Sahib was more than just a trip — it was a soulful experience that renewed faith, brought peace, and filled the heart with gratitude. A truly divine place that every devotee should visit. 🙏✨ #GurudwaraNanaksarKaleeran #Hukamnama #Faith #Peace #Sikhism #Seva #SpiritualJourney

The Gurudwara was established by Baba Nand Singh Ji for the social welfare of the Sikh community. They wanted to spread the message of our all 10 Guru's through our Holy book Gurugarnth Sahib. Moreover, whenever you will visit here you will find artificial Tigers & Lions everywhere, the reason behind the wild animals used to come here to listen the Gurubani and train frequently stopped nearby railways line without any stopage ( locals beliefs).

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.

The musuem is inside the lalgarh palace complex. Museum is only dedicated to artifacts, photographs, trophies and personal achievements of the bikaner royal family. The museum is well maintained, the cost of ticket is rs.50 per person. Not much to see apart from the life history of the royal members. Not worthy to visit.

ICAR – National Research Centre on Camel (NRCC) in Bikaner is a one-of-a-kind place dedicated to camel research and conservation. Located around 8 km from the city, it’s easily reachable and offers a mix of education and fun. Visitors can see different camel breeds, learn about their use in Rajasthan, visit a small museum, and even try camel-milk ice cream and kulfi. The centre is open mainly in the **afternoon (around 2 PM – 6 PM)**, so plan your visit accordingly. Entry fee is about **₹50 per person**, and you can spend 1–2 hours exploring. The place is clean and well-managed, though some walking on sandy paths is needed, which might be a bit tiring for seniors. Staff are friendly and often explain about the camels and the research work. It’s a unique experience, especially for families and animal lovers, offering something different from forts and temples. A calm, educational, and memorable stop in Bikaner!

This impressive fort showcases an eclectic mix of architectural styles that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region.

An amazing fort and must visit fort. It is beautiful and very well maintained. The buildings are stunning and the history is so interesting.

Entry fee for Indians is 150rs and for foreigners it is 600rs. This includes fort and museum entry along with a free guide. Do not fall for guides operating independently. instead prefer the one that comes along with the entry ticket.
Adarsh N — Google review
Visiting Junagarh Fort in Bikaner felt like stepping into a grand chapter of Rajasthan’s royal history. Unlike most forts that sit atop hills, this one stands proudly on flat land, making it easier to access—especially for senior visitors. The moment I entered, the intricate carvings, beautifully painted ceilings, and royal artifacts took me back in time. Every corner of the palace complex had a story to tell—from the royal bedrooms to the weapon galleries and ornate courtyards. The fort is open from **10 AM to 4:30 PM**, and the ticket price is quite reasonable—₹50 for Indians and around ₹300 for foreigners. Audio guides cost about ₹350, but I chose a local guide who was both informative and entertaining. He explained the history with such passion that it made the whole visit more memorable. Accessibility-wise, the fort is fairly senior-friendly as it’s on level ground and cleanly maintained, though a few narrow stairways and uneven sections might require caution. Parking is available near the entrance, and staff members are quite helpful if you need assistance. Overall, my experience at Junagarh Fort was both educational and emotional—a glimpse into Rajasthan’s regal charm without the hassle of steep climbs. The guide’s storytelling, the preserved grandeur, and the sense of calm inside made it one of my favorite stops in Bikaner.

Junagarh Fort is an absolute gem in Bikaner! Unlike most forts built on hills, this one stands proudly on the plains — yet looks grand and majestic. The architecture is stunning, with beautifully decorated palaces like Anup Mahal and Phool Mahal showcasing intricate carvings, mirror work, and vibrant frescoes. The museum inside is fascinating, with royal artifacts, old weapons, costumes, and even vintage aircrafts and carriages. The guided tour was excellent — the guide shared some amazing stories about Bikaner’s royal past. The fort is very well maintained, clean, and great for photography. I’d recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon for the best light. If you’re in Bikaner, don’t miss Junagarh Fort — it’s a perfect mix of history, art, and royal charm!

A wonderful historical place of Rajasthan. One must visit to explore it's unique style known for its rich architectural heritage, opulent palaces, and intricate decorations. Built by the ruler Raja Rai Singh between 1588 & 1593, it stands on a plain, unlike many hilltop forts, and features red sandstone walls. The fort complex includes multiple palaces, temples, and pavilions, reflecting a blend of Rajput, Mughal, and Gujarati architectural styles. You have to purchase tickets to explore it. Few parts of the fort is closed for tourists.

The main fact that Ghee was used to make foundation instead of water. The story behind is that people gone to Seth Bhandashah for the donations to make tample. But at that time a drop of ghee spilled off from the hand of Seth and the Seth immediately wiped it by his another hand to avoid weasteage. After seeing this, The priest tonted the Seth that you can't even spare a drop of ghee, how will you make that luxurious tample. The Seth then declared that in making of the foundation of the Tample, the ghee will be used instead of water and all the ghee will be provided by him. The priest had taken it lightly, but next morning what he found that tons of ghee was there as Seth Bhandashah promised. At the time of May and June, one can witness that even today ghee comes out from the floor of tample. The tample is dedicated to First Tirthankar Bhagwan Rishabh Dev

Karni Mata Temple in Deshnok is one of the most unique and spiritual places in Rajasthan. The temple is beautifully built in marble with detailed carvings and silver doors that add to its charm. The main attraction is the thousands of sacred rats (called kabas), which are considered the incarnations of Karni Mata’s devotees. It’s said that spotting a white rat here brings good fortune. The atmosphere is filled with devotion and peace. The temple premises are clean and well-managed, and local vendors outside offer prasad and souvenirs.

A truly divine and unique experience — the temple is home to hundreds of holy rats, and it is believed to be auspicious if you spot the rare white one. The temple seems to be under renovation currently, but the darshan was amazing and peaceful. You can feed the mice inside the temple; they are harmless but often move close to your feet, so walk carefully. On normal days, the crowd is minimal, especially during morning hours, making the darshan smooth and quick. A must-visit spiritual place known for its faith, devotion, and extraordinary belief system.

Temple is located 500m off highway. Approach or road from highway towards temple is narrow only one car can pass. Touch have to wait for car to exit then you can take your car in. I recommend to park on highway and walk. Most people after reaching parking place get to know parking charge is Rs 100 and do not park and go back to highway to park. Any day you will have 1000s of visitors guaranteed. You would surely be in queue. There is no arrangement for shoe stand. 1000s of shoes are scattered everywhere. Food grains are donated by devotees are also scattered everywhere. Once you will enter the temple, you will see rats. So much rush that you will get few seconds to see goddess, then you will be pushes away. Even my daughter could not see the goddess, pushes away. Temple is big and magnificent.

Jai MAA KARNII♥️✨ 🐀 Karni Mata: The Rat Goddess of Deshnok Karni Mata, revered as an incarnation of the Hindu Goddess Durga, was a legendary warrior sage who lived between the 14th and 16th centuries in Rajasthan. She is the tutelary deity of the royal families of Bikaner and Jodhpur, credited with laying the foundations for their major forts, including Mehrangarh and Bikaner Fort. Karni Mata is central to the history of the region and is widely worshipped for her powers of victory and protection. Her most famous legacy is the Karni Mata Temple in Deshnok, often called the "Temple of Rats." This unique sanctuary is home to over 25,000 black rats, known as kabbas, which are considered sacred and protected. The deep reverence for these rodents stems from a famous legend: when Karni Mata's stepson, Laxman, drowned, she pleaded with Yama, the god of death, to restore his life. Yama eventually relented, but reincarnated Laxman and all male members of her Charan clan as rats. Therefore, the kabbas are believed to be the reincarnated souls of her family and followers. Devotees travel from afar to offer food and prayers to the rats, considering it highly auspicious to eat food nibbled by them. Spotting a white rat among the multitude is considered particularly blessed, as they are believed to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her sons. The temple is a stunning example of faith intertwining with unique folklore, where rodents are not pests but sacred family members in an unbroken cycle of life.

The initial surprise of seeing so many rats quickly turns into fascination. Watching the devotees and rats coexist so peacefully is a powerful sight. We came here during afternoon hours and there was almost no crowd at that time. Locals told me that it becomes crowded during special fests, so plan accordingly. There is ample parking space and food options.
