Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Must do!! Best if you carry water bottle (please get it back too and don’t throw trash there). Keep walking, talk to your loved ones. Do a research on the kinds of birds you can see here and download relevant apps (merilyn is what I use) you can see beautiful birds, best views of the snow capped mountains, flowers in spring (march-april). Carry tea or simple snacks and plan a picnic here. Best if you go during afternoon/evening. Mostly the place is a simple walk, but the view is great. And if you enjoy being in the jungle then this is perfect.
It is a serene place to relax and have a great time with your family and friends. There are small and not so difficult trails you can walk to enjoy the artistic view of nature around. The pine trees and flowers in the park are really beautiful. Please do not pluck flowers and do not litter. 🙏 It requires at least 1 hour to see around but you can spend more time. The ticket is priced at Rs 50 for adults. It has these amenities.. Toilets Dustbins Benches to sit and relax Swing Sheds Some paid adventure activities for kids in a small area. Parking is outside in the open area at a safe distance from the main road. There are eateries outside where you can get plenty of food options to choose from. Enjoy the weather and scenery.
50₹ ticket for one adult. 25₹ ticket for one child below 9 year. It is a one time park location if you are coming here first time. There are some little activities here which has separate ticket. Green place filled with trees. A Hidden Gem for Nature Lovers! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful — this place is truly a must-visit for anyone who enjoys nature, peace, and panoramic views. I highly recommend bringing a water bottle with you — and please, take it back with you. Let’s help keep this beautiful spot clean and trash-free for everyone to enjoy. The walk is simple and serene, perfect for a relaxing stroll with your loved ones. It’s a great place to talk, unwind, and reconnect with nature. If you’re into birdwatching, do a little research beforehand! You can spot a variety of birds here, and I personally use the Merlin app for identification — it makes the experience even more rewarding. In spring (March-April), the flowers are in full bloom, making the area look absolutely magical. The views of the snow-capped mountains are breathtaking and offer amazing photo opportunities. I suggest packing some tea or light snacks and turning your visit into a peaceful picnic. Afternoon or early evening is the best time to visit for both good lighting and cooler weather. If you enjoy being in a forest-like setting, you will absolutely love this place. Highly recommended for a short escape into nature!

Visiting Surkanda Devi Temple was a spiritually uplifting and scenic experience. The trek to the temple, surrounded by dense forests and misty mountains, felt both adventurous and serene. From the top, the panoramic views of the Himalayas were simply breathtaking. The temple’s peaceful aura and connection to local legends add a deeper spiritual charm. It’s a perfect blend of devotion, nature, and tranquility.
Visiting Surkanda Devi Temple was one of the highlights of my trip to Kanatal! To reach the temple, you’ll need to climb a short stretch of steps, and then you have two options: either take the ropeway (₹225 per person) for a quick ride up, or continue the scenic trek to the top. A quick tip: beware of the mischievous monkeys along the way, they’ve absolutely mastered the art of snatching snacks and bags, so keep your belongings close! 🐒 The temple itself is beautifully maintained, clean, organized, and peaceful. The moment you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Himalayas that makes every step worth it. You can easily spend hours here soaking in the serenity, admiring the architecture, and just being present in the moment. If you’re anywhere in the Tehri region of Uttarakhand, Surkanda Devi Temple is an absolute must-visit, a perfect blend of spirituality, nature, and scenic beauty. 🌄🙏
One of the Shaktipeeth where Maa Sati's head was said to be fallen. The temple is on a hill with amazing views from all sides. The trek not too long and properly paved can be steep in some places so recommended to take frequent breaks if your not used to the trekking. There is a option for cable cart but it was not operation during the time we visited (Mid Aug). At the top the air feels fresh and very calm.
I went for the evening aarti at Surkanda Devi temple and honestly it was such a peaceful experience. The whole place had this divine energy, and with the cool breeze blowing. The view from the top was just breathtaking – mountains covered in mist and the sky slowly turning golden. When the bells started ringing and the aarti began, it gave me goosebumps. Sitting there, with nature all around and the sound of prayers, it was truly mast and unforgettable
Surkanda Devi Temple, located near Dhanaulti in Uttarakhand, is a revered Hindu shrine and a must-visit for both pilgrims and nature enthusiasts. ​Key Points: ​Spiritual Significance: It's one of the 51 Shakti Peethas, where, according to mythology, the head of Goddess Sati fell after her self-immolation. ​The Trek: The temple is situated at an altitude of approximately 2,757 meters and requires a 2-3 km moderate trek from Kaddukhal village. The path is well-maintained and offers scenic views. ​Ropeway: A ropeway has been built to provide easy access for those who cannot or prefer not to trek. ​Location & Views: The temple is nestled amidst dense forests of deodar, rhododendron, and oak, providing stunning panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks, including Chaukhamba and Nanda Devi. ​Best Time to Visit: The ideal time is during the summer (April to June) and autumn (September to November) for pleasant weather and clear views. Winters (December to March) bring snowfall, making the trek challenging but offering a unique, snow-covered landscape. ​Nearby Attractions: The temple is a short distance from popular hill stations like Dhanaulti, Kanatal, and Mussoorie, making it a great day trip. You can also explore places like Tehri Dam and various adventure activities in the region.
This is my once in a lifetime experience getting to the feet of Mata Surkanda Devi at 10000 ft above. There are two ways to reach the Temple. Trekking and Ropeway. We took ropeway as we were with Senior Citizens. Also the trekking is difficult. Taking Ropeway is also time saving. It's so peaceful above and literally above the clouds. Amazing experience.
Every morning view start with this famous and worshiped temple as I open my main door. Because as I look straight to the beautiful view I see the mountain on which this beautiful and famous temple situated. I often visit this place a year or 2 from my childhood. Foreigners and many other states people frequently visit this place because it's nearest to mussoorie the overrated place of uttarakhand and nearest to my beautiful town chamma or chamba tehri garhwal uttarakhand.
This temple is so beautiful; I just love going there. It has such a calming vibe, and sitting to meditate feels incredibly peaceful. Plus, the view from the temple's location is mesmerizing—you can even get a glimpse of the Himalayas! It's also one of the Shaktipeeths, and for those who can't walk, there's an affordable ropeway. It's definitely a must-visit if you live nearby and have the time.

If you want a school who can take care of your kids professionally, must go for it
I recently read through their reviews, and it's quite concerning to see how poorly they handle feedback. For instance, one customer mentioned that their paragliding session was canceled due to weather conditions, and they didn't receive a timely refund. Instead of offering an apology, the response from the business was dismissive, saying they had booked another slot for the customer the next day. This approach seems unprofessional and lacks the proper customer service attitude required for any business to thrive."
The location is good however the services are very poor. The basics and the security measures for kids aren’t apt.
Booked for paragliding for morning slot and paid advance to one staff Nikita with the assurance that the confirmation mail shall be sent to my mail id but no mail received till now neither the call is answered. Very unprofessional attitude.after making numerous calls through ivrs, at 2.30 pm I was asked to come to lake side but again diverted to some other operator. No sign board of universal adventures on roadside or elsewhere .Returned back after loosing money, time and efforts. Never recommend any body to book online with advance bookings payment in name of universal adventures , mussorie and fell to their trap.
You guys should work on your services In case the booking for paragliding has been canceled from your side because of the weather then you guys should refund the amount on time… Even after the multiple follow ups your executive Keshav Nautiyal is not bothered to answer the call nether processed the refund. Customer experience is very important in your business, for which your team is least bothered
WORST EXP EVER! Would GIVE NEGATIVE SCORE! I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. AND PLS DO NOT GO, IF YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE. The haunted house had no electricity The bumping car started producing smoke and buring smell. I cannot trust rest of their rides with my life. The managers gave us the excuse ki ghar mai electricity jaati..waise hi jaati hai...tf is this reasoning? This is a business, we paid for your services and you give us worst services possible? Its your responsibility to ensure such incidents doesnot occur. If possible i will definately sue this place for deficient services under the CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OF INDIA
Nice track. Calm place to visit as there are only a few who reach the top and rest leave in between. Suggest you to go there early morning so that u reach approx 9 am there. One star miss due to the road reaching there have some sections so narrow that only 1 car cross at a time. If someone come from front one have to take their car back thus allowing other to pass.
Fake advertisement and fake review. It was worst experience. Location on google map is incorrect. They told me to go somewhere where they have all activities point. I tried to went there but road is very risky and dangerous. If you think to go, please think twice before risking your life. Especially, near evening time it will be very dangerous. In addition, it is not possible to drive car, you can go only via bike. I didn’t reach at location and felt unsafe so I come back halfway.
