Beautiful and very peaceful place to visit in this area. This Lake is very beautiful with fishes 🐠 and Ducks 🦆. It may become more beautiful if bushes at surroundings of the lake were removed.

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.

Rewalsar Lake is a serene and spiritual spot surrounded by three beautiful monasteries, a Gurudwara, and a small temple. The calm atmosphere is perfect for reflection—though the temple’s loud music at times disturbs the otherwise peaceful setting.

A very peaceful and holistic place .The whole town is surrounded around the lake People live over there in peace and harmony, mostly Tibetan. Good place to stay to purify your soul and mind.

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.

Lake Rewalsar, also known as Tso Pema, is a significant pilgrimage site in the Buddhist tradition. It was one of the highlights on our two-week road trip. The lake holds deep spiritual meaning, with unique stories and beliefs in both Buddhist and local traditions—each version equally fascinating.

Spiritual bliss amidst breathtaking beauty! This temple is a hidden gem, nestled in the mountains with a stunning view that will leave you speechless. The trek to the temple involves climbing 1100 stairs, but trust me, it's WORTH IT! The scenic route winds through lush green grasslands, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains that will take your breath away. The mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, with rolling hills and verdant valleys below. As you climb higher, the air grows fresher, and the atmosphere becomes more serene. The temple itself is a peaceful oasis, perfect for introspection and connection with nature. The architecture is beautiful, and the ambiance is calm and soothing. You can feel the spiritual energy emanating from the temple, making it a truly uplifting experience. The views from the top are simply stunning, with the sun casting a golden glow over the mountains and valleys.

We want this place and this place was beautiful and I was getting different kind of spiritual connection over there And landscapes are really amazing from the top.

If you’re fit to hike 1200 stairs one way then you must visit this awesome spiritual place and pay homage to the very revered Shikari Mata. This is perhaps the only worship place on earth which has no roof at an elevation of more than 3350 meter. Miraculously when the entire hill is snow capped the deity idols have no snow on them and visible throughout. It’s around 18 km from Janjehli Valley and can be reached through the forest road half of which is tarred and another half is off road. Better go by local cabs to avoid vehicle breakdown and also to enjoy the breathtaking view on the way. A must visit place for all travel enthusiasts.

It's a sacred, spritual and serene place.Must visit with your loved ones.Always carry some basic things like water bottle, umbrella, warm clothes, medicines, food items etc during these kind of trips.

Very ancient temple, almost 500 years old. Onecan feel the history here.

I visited Shri Triloknath Temple in Mandi and had an amazing experience. The temple is carved out of a mountain, and all the God murtis are too. It's really beautiful and unique. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the view of the beas river is stunning.

The most serene, most beautiful ancient temple on the bank of river Beas. (Bipasha). Its not very big, but perfect in ancient architectural schema, a Sikhara type stone temple with amalaka at the top and very inteicately curved stone motifs on it. The main shrine is with Garvagriha and square mandapam before it. a few other smaller temples are present in the courtyard, but two are comleyely ruined. The courtyard is wonderful, overlooking the mighty Bipasha, with this temple complex and trees. On the other bank another beautiful temple can be seen on the other bank at the confluence of the Suketi Khal with the Bipasha river. The most suitable site to errect the Panchavactro Temple. If one turns to left, the british era beautiful bridge can be seen. This place is a little spot of heaven on earth. The temple have many carvings with a distinct stylisation. The main deity is a big idol of Lord Shiva in its three headed avatar, Mata Parvati on his left lap, mounted on the Nandi the bull. What I found most interesting in this temple is an intricately curved, big Nandi idol in standing position in the temple. I have never seen such a idol of sole Nandi figure in standing position, but always on sitting and awaiting position at entrance of every shiva temple, and this one has one such idol as well. The other idols are many Ganesha idols, Kali murti, Mata Parvati and a peacock mounted six headed Karthikeya in meditative pose, - this is also interesting as it is not common to see the Dev-Senapati ( Commandar-in-chief of the gods) with a Japamala ( rosary). There is a "Padachap" in front of the entrance. The inner pillars must have been very well decorated with stone curvings, but all those has been stiffed off. The plaque outside mntioned the construction is of sixteenth century, but from the ageing it seems profoundly more olden, or perhaps the temple has been sujected to flooding and inundation for prolongged period repeatedly over the millenia., and/or it was recontructed by Sultana Sen the queen of Ajber Sen on an older site predated by a few millenia perhaps at 1520. There is a source of spring within the complex as well.

Mandi, an ancient town in Himachal Pradesh is full of mysteries. The place is quite famous for its scenic beauty but it's way more than that as the town contains a lot of history and spiritual significance in its old structures and folklore. Mandi is called the Kashi of Himachal because it shares the same spiritual significance as Kashi. The town is built on the bank of the Beas River, at the confluence of the Suketi Khad stream. Besides the river ghats and among the town's streets are over 80 stone-built ancient temples, Including Triloknath. The Triloknath temple is one of the oldest surviving temples in the town, dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. It contains a three-faced murti of Shiva, hence the name Trilokinath, "Lord of Three Worlds". It is said that the temple was built by Sultana Devi Queen of Raja Ajbar Sen in 1520. There's a sculpture of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Goddess Narda, and Goddess Sharda, a stone image of three-faced Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, riding on the Nandi along with that of a few more Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

A very beautiful old temple where very less people visit. Temple is very beautifully made but severely damaged by past rulers (Moguls probably). Beautiful relics and idols are still kept for viewers to admire. It also has its own "Leaning temple" like 'Leaning tower of Pias'

Beautiful Temple built in 15 to 16 century. Surprisingly there is no priest in any of the temple in mandi. See attached picture to know about the history of temple. Too many monkeys around be careful about ur belongings.

Beautiful place with full God energy. everyone must visit.

It is very famous Temple in the heart of chhoti Kashi Mandi.The pilgrims from all over India visit this temple while on tour to HP.Neat and clean place No parking problem. Advised not to visit during the raining seasons.

I recently visited the Bhootnath Temple in Mandi and truly felt the divine peace of this ancient place. Built around 1527 AD by Raja Ajber Sen, the temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and beautifully represents the old Himachali stone architecture. The Nandi statue facing the Shiva Lingam adds to its spiritual charm. It’s located right in the heart of Mandi, easy to reach. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves history, culture, and spirituality.

Baba Bhootnath Mandir, located in the heart of Mandi town in Himachal Pradesh, is one of the most revered and historically rich temples of the region. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this temple stands as a timeless symbol of Mandi’s spiritual and cultural identity. Built in the 16th century during the reign of Raja Ajber Sen, the founder of Mandi, the temple beautifully blends history, devotion, and heritage into one divine experience. The architecture of Baba Bhootnath Mandir reflects the classic Shikhara style commonly seen in North Indian temple design. The intricate stone carvings, wooden panels, and beautifully sculpted idols showcase the skill of artisans from ancient times. The sanctum sanctorum enshrines a majestic Shiva Lingam, symbolizing the eternal presence of Lord Bhootnath — the Lord of Ghosts, another name for Lord Shiva. The temple complex, surrounded by small shrines, creates a serene and spiritual ambiance that instantly fills the heart with devotion. Religiously, the temple holds immense significance for Shiva devotees, especially during the grand celebration of Mahashivratri, which is the most famous festival in Mandi. During this time, thousands of devotees and sadhus gather from all over Himachal Pradesh and beyond to offer prayers, perform rituals, and participate in the traditional Mandi Shivratri Fair, a week-long cultural and spiritual extravaganza. Visiting Baba Bhootnath Mandir is not just a religious journey but also a walk through the living history of Mandi — often called the “Varanasi of the Hills” due to its numerous temples. The peaceful aura, divine chants, and architectural elegance make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a blend of spirituality, history, and heritage amidst the scenic beauty of Himachal Pradesh. A place where devotion meets history — truly divine and timeless.

I visited Bhootnath Temple in Mandi and had a wonderful time. The temple is beautiful and has a serene atmosphere. It's situated right in the middle of the market, making it easily accessible. However, the surroundings can get quite rushy. The architecture is impressive, and the temple itself offers a calm and refreshing experience.

This is an ancient temple of God Shiva he is present in form of a stone lingam here. Under the care of Archiological Survey of India, it is a protected monument and revered place of worship for people of mandi and himachal pradeah. The temple is known to.be home for many legends and folklore stories. The temple is situated at the start of a busy shopping lane, named after this temple.

Shikari Mata Temple, perched at 3,359 meters in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, is a serene gem within the Shikari Devi Wildlife Sanctuary.

There is no roof in the Shikari Devi temple, yet the ice does not last in the idols there.

Beautiful place Full of nature , peaceful

While traveling to Manikaran Sahib, we had the blessing of stopping at this beautiful and historical Gurudwara Sahib located in Mandi. It's a serene and spiritually uplifting place that all devotees should make time to visit. The peaceful environment and divine presence truly make it a worthwhile stop. For those coming from far and planning to visit Manikaran Sahib, this Gurudwara is a perfect place for a night stay. The accommodation facilities are very well maintained — rooms and washrooms are neat, clean, and comfortable. The sewa done here is truly admirable. I highly recommend all devotees to take a pause here, offer their prayers, and experience the calmness of this sacred place. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!

The Guru Gobind Singh Ji Gurdwara in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, is renowned for its serene and calm atmosphere, offering a wonderful spiritual experience. Dedicated to the tenth Sikh Guru, it features beautiful traditional Sikh architecture and attracts devotees from all over. Historically, Guru Gobind Singh Ji visited Mandi in the late seventeenth century, blessing the town and its people. This visit left a lasting spiritual impact, and the gurdwara was built to honor his presence. This historical connection, along with its spiritual significance, makes the gurdwara an important religious site in Mandi.

Truly peaceful and beautiful place with spiritual and scenic views

I visited Gurudwara Shri Damdama Sahib on Tarna Road in Mandi, and it was a truly serene and spiritual experience. The place is beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful atmosphere perfect for reflection and prayer. The community there is welcoming and kind. The langar served is delicious and heartwarming. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Mandi.

A very pleasant environment Ac ,Non-Ac rooms are available The food is ok ok

A peaceful and divine place. Gurudwara Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in Mandi offers a serene atmosphere, beautiful views, and soulful kirtan. The langar is served with love, and the entire experience brings peace and spiritual calm. A must-visit spot in Mandi

Gurdwara Guru Gobind Singh Ji is situated in the town of Mandi. The Dasvin Patshah came to visit the area on the invitaionof Mandi's ruler Raja Sidh Sen. Guru Gobind Singh stayed here for a little over six months. His tents were set up on the bank of the nearby River Beas, while the Raja's family accomodated the Mata ji's in the Palace. The Inner place is maintained by the Rulers family. When Guru Sahib was about to leave Mandi, Raja Sidh Sen asked him who would protect Mandi after his departure, who will save us from Aurangzeb's cruelty. The Raja asked his question just as the Guru aimed his banddukh at a clay pitcher floating down the river. The Guru's musket ball pierced the pitcher adding one more hole than its maker, some unknown potter, had given it, but even with that extra hole it continued to float down stream. The Guru used the still floating pitcher as a metaphor to enforce his answer. Turning to the Raja, Guru ji remarked: "Jaise Bachi yeh Handi, Waise Bachegi teri MandiJo mandi ko lutengae, aasmani goley chooteygein.""As this pitcher was saved, so shall Mandi be savedIf anyone tries to loot it, musket balls will rain from the sky Some of Guru Ji's belongings are still preserved here; a Bed, a Rabab (musical instrument), a Bandukh (Musket/Gun), a Gun Kuppy (powder horn) and a Talai (Mattress). There's also a rock in the River Beas on which Guru Sahib is known to have often sat in meditation, during his stay in Mandi. Guru Gobind Singh was known to be an excellent marksman, both with a musket or with a bow. Some of his arrows, which were weighted with an ounce of gold, still exist in collections in Punjab. The ounce of gold was added to afford medicine for any attacker not killed by an arrow shot by the Guru. However, more often than not, the gold served to support of the victim's surviving family members. One wonders if gold was used as well for the Guru's goley (musket balls).

Such a beautiful place in sundernagar 🤩 Beautiful view ❤️ Sunder Nagar Lake, a man-made reservoir in Himachal Pradesh, is a popular spot for its serene beauty and peaceful atmosphere. It's known for being a great place for leisurely walks, picnics, and enjoying the scenic views. It's a popular spot for morning and evening walks for locals. There are stalls selling snacks like momos and burgers, adding to the appeal for visitors. Must visit for mindful view and best experience.........

A great place to spend some evening time and watch the sunset. Ample space for parking.

Sunder Nagar Lake is a beautiful and peaceful spot, perfect for a relaxing outing. The view of the calm water surrounded by lush green hills is truly refreshing. We spent a lovely time sitting by the lake, enjoying our snacks and soaking in the scenic beauty. The gentle breeze and quiet surroundings made the experience even more special. It’s an ideal place to unwind with friends or family, away from the noise of the city. Whether you're looking for a peaceful walk or just want to relax and enjoy the view this lake is definitely worth a visit

Lake in Sunder Nagar, Himachal Pradesh is super calm, peaceful, and quiet. It's a perfect spot for a little walk or a picnic. When we were going to Ner chowk , we stopped here and had our lunch that we brought from home, right next to the lake. Lots of people from around here like to go for walks in the morning and evening. For people who are visiting, it's a great place to take pictures and have snacks by the lake. There are stalls selling yummy momos and burgers, which are really popular. It's so nice to sit by the lake, munch on some momos, and watch the water. One thing I noticed when I visited the lake is that there aren't any dustbins around. I made sure to take my litter back home with me, but I hope everyone who visits does the same. Otherwise, the place might get really messy with litter, and you can already see some litter around the lake.

It comes in the way from shimla to manali road. Good place

Sunder Nagar Lake is more than just a beautiful landmark in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh—it’s a special part of life for those who grew up nearby, including myself. My school is right next to this tranquil man-made lake, and for as long as I can remember, waiting for the bus after classes meant spending quiet moments by its shore, soaking in the calmness and watching the water shimmer with the afternoon sun. The Sunder Nagar bus stand, situated right beside the lake, became a regular spot for reunions, laughter, and the beginning and end of countless journeys—a hub of daily life and energy.What sets Sunder Nagar apart is truly its lake; without it, the town would lose its very essence. Evenings here are magical, with the golden light softening everything and locals—students, families, and elders—gathering along its banks for a stroll, deep conversations, or just moments of peace as mountains ring the horizon. Many locals and tourists alike are drawn to this serene reservoir, which was shaped from the Beas-Sutlej Link Project, offering shady walks, beautiful views, and that rare sense of calm that lingers even when life gets busy.There’s something intimate about knowing a place not just as a visitor, but as someone whose memories are woven into its landscape. Sunder Nagar Lake has grown with the town, shaping its character and its people. It’s not just an attraction—it's the heart that keeps Sunder alive, connected, and somehow always welcoming you home.

Very calm, peaceful and serene place for small walk or picnic. While traveling to Manali we stopped here and had our home cooked lunch by the side of the lake.

It was a one-of-a-kind experience, especially in the snow. We trekked alone through the snowy landscape and even witnessed live snowfall. The next morning, the view was absolutely breathtaking. However, it was so cold that taking photos was a real challenge.

It is a peaceful and beautiful spot surrounded by nature. It holds religious importance as it is linked to Sage Rishi Parashar..so visitors are requested to avoid smoking, drinking or loud music. The weather is refreshing and the views are stunning. Please help keep the area clean and respect its calm and spiritual environment.

Very offbeat place with very less crowd. Religious place, temple of Rishi Parashar. The views are amazing but you can feel difficult to breathe here, so don’t push yourself alot. Lovely journey.

Pics are from 2019. One serene place to visit. Can be reached both by trekking and by bus. They say the water of the lake is holy. • Floating Island Phenomenon At its center floats a small island of vegetation that shifts position over time-covering roughly 7 % of the lake's surface, with the remaining 93 % water Local lore frames it as a "microcosm of Earth" and says its motion foretells natural events • Spiritual Significance A three-storied pagoda-style temple stands on the shore, dedicated to Rishi Parashara. Built in the 13th-14th century by King Ban Sen of Mandi, it was reportedly carved from a single deodar tree and decorated with fine woodwork. The site sees major festivals like Rishi Panchami, Sauranahulia, and other fairs that draw pilgrims from across neighboring valleys. . Legendary Origin According to myth, after the Kurukshetra War, Bhima-one of the Pandavas-struck a mountain with his elbow to create a depression in which the lake formed for Lord Kamrunag, who wanted to stay there forever.

This place is very cool. Especially you can come here with your family to visit and it snows here during winters. ⛰️⛰️🫰🏻🤍🤍❤️❤️💙💙

It's highly represhing and heavenly place. The beauty of the lake is mesmerizing with devince presence of parasar Muni.

Parashar Lake, is a freshwater lake located in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, India at an altitude of 2,730 meters. It is named after Rishi Parashar, an ancient Hindu sage and father of Krishna Vyas, who is believed to have meditated here. The lake is a notable tourist hotspot for its in-floating island, which is believed to mysteriously move across the lake during nighttime.

I visited Jalori Pass during my solo trip in June 2024 and even without snow the place felt magical. The moment you start heading up from Jibhi the scenery begins to change. The road is around 12 km but it’s very steep and narrow and if a vehicle comes from the opposite direction there can be huge traffic especially around the curves. So if you’re driving yourself or even taking a cab just be prepared for that. You can get a shared cab from Jibhi to the starting point or if you have time you can wait for the local bus which comes every one or two hours. Once you reach the top you will find a small temple and a few stalls selling tea Maggi and snacks. I took a short break there before starting the 360 viewpoint trek. The trek itself is about 45 minutes to an hour depending on your speed. It’s slightly steep in places but very doable and the trail goes through pine trees and greenery all around. The higher you go the more peaceful it gets. And the view from the 360 viewpoint is simply stunning. You can see the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar mountain ranges surrounding you in every direction. It feels like the sky opens up and the mountains just keep rolling one after the other. I sat there for a long time just soaking in the view breathing in the cold fresh air and enjoying the silence. It was one of the most calming moments of my trip. This is the kind of place that doesn’t need too many words or activities. Just reaching there sitting quietly and looking at the mountains is enough to make you feel peaceful. Highlights Breathtaking views from the 360 viewpoint Peaceful forest trail with pine trees and mountain air Small temple and local food stalls at Jalori Pass Surrounded by Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges Perfect for a short peaceful solo trek Tips The road from Jibhi is very narrow and steep so drive carefully and avoid rush hours Shared cabs are available or wait for a local bus if you are on a budget Wear comfortable shoes the trail is short but has some steep parts Carry a water bottle and light snack for the trek Early mornings or late afternoons have the best weather and fewer people

Bus drops off right at the temple and you can start trek straight away. 5km one way through the forest. On the other side is Raghupr fort another trek.The lake is small pond.Serolsar Lake is in Tirthan Valley of Himachal Pradesh, located 75 km away from Kullu. The lake is situated at an altitude of 10,170 ft. To access the lake, you've to trek for 5 km. The trek starts from Jalori Pass, the highest altitude point that connects Kullu valley and Shimla Valley. The lake is guarded by thick tall pine trees on all sides. Next to the lake is Budhi Nagin temple. Serolsar Lake is surrounded by a narrow track and a fence around it. The Serolsar Lake wears stunning colours during different times of the year. The lake looks white during winter, half snow-covered and half green during spring and summer, and lush green during monsoon and post-monsoon. This is something worth observing if you have the oppurtuinty to trek multiple times to this lake. Apart from the scenic beauty, the Serolsar lake has religious significance as well. Ilt is a pilgrimage place for the locals. Locals from the surrounding villages come here every saturday to do the parikrama. They mostly offer ghee and oil to the local diety. It is believed the goddess is submerged in the lake and protects the entire region. Serolsar Lake trek is a paradise for someone who loves forest trails. The entire trail is through the dense pine and deodar forests. You also encounter clearings after every hour of the trek which makes them nice resting spots for trekkers to rejoice. From the 360-degree Viewpoint, you get great views of Pir Panjal and the Great Himalayan range. Serolsar Lake trek is an easy trek. It can be done by both fit beginners and experienced trekkers. It's a series of gradual ascents and descents until you reach the lake. The only steep ascent you encounter on this trail is the one that takes you to the 360-degree Viewpoint.

Jalori Pass offers a delightful escape into nature, boasting a moderate 5 KM trek to a serene lake, enveloped by a dense, tranquil forest. The weather here is exceptionally pleasant, noticeably cooler than the Tirthan Valley, providing a refreshing contrast. It's an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful walk amidst stunning natural beauty, offering a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

Jalori pass ... The most beautiful trek I have witnessed Start from SoJa . Went during February end and it's the last snow of that season. The whole trek was covered with snow .. 2 feet deep. And it's just heavenly. - wear snow boots as u can get cold feet and take a good amount of food and water if you are starting this Trek. - at the top around 12 km away is the mountain 360 degree view and a beautiful temple is located. - there all the camps and food stalls are available but during heavy snow , all get covered and shut down. - from the temple there is a trek of 3 km to the fort - for having a fort view. - also 2 km away from this point going above is the place where 🎥 " yeh Jawani hai devani" movie shoot was held.. it's just snow covered trek and you can see all way the white 🤍🤍🤍 color.. - the trek is just freaking awesome and you will have wonderful picture points and views during the journey. ❄️❄️ Feel and Experience this beautiful 🤩🤩 snow covered place.

Jalori Pass - The most beautiful place I have ever seen. At entrance you will see the temple of Mahadev and Durga Maa. In snow ❄️, Jalori pass looks absolutely stunning, beautiful, awesome, I won’t have words to describe this place beauty, all the around if you will se their would be snow covered mountains 🏔️ with surrounding trees make this place looks more eye catching and beautiful. The people here around are so nice and friendly. I visited this place on march 21, 2025. At that time it was all around snow and make sure you take up warm clothes when you visit here, because in the evening the temperature plunges very down, and chilled air make you feel more colder and coldest so caps, mufflers, gloves along with very warm jackets make you feel warmer over here.

Amazing place. Very cold. Clear view. Full of meadows.

Nice place. It's a junction or centre of 3 amazing places nearby Jalori. Serolsar lake, Raghupur fort and 360 view point.

Indira Market in Mandi is a vibrant and bustling place that's a must-visit! The variety of shops and stalls is amazing, offering everything from clothes and accessories to delicious local snacks. The atmosphere is lively and the locals are friendly and welcoming. It's the perfect spot to experience the local culture and do some shopping.

Great Place to be at within the heart of the MANDI Town. It's like Connaught Place of MANDI. Various types of food joints available. All major clothing brands are available.

Good place to visit. Surrounded by eating joints and shopping complex. After a good shopping spree you can relax here.

Garden surrounded by shops or you could say a little shopping mall of mandi town... There are places to sit in the garden with your loved ones... And fast food shops are also available if you feel hungry... For photography lover this place is a one of a kind 😋

Clock tower/Indra Market is the main market area in mandi. A good place for shopping & also a great place to spend some time with your friends and loved ones.

Good place for hanging out with friends. Awesome weather beautiful and decent place .......we can enjoy here with family also....must visit once

As heard there from locals this garden was initially water Sink in ancient time.. A big clock 🕰️ on the top floor of the building which built in the centre of the garden.. market also there which making boundary of the garden.. Paid Parking facility is also there..

Due to cloud bursts in Himachal' various places these days ...its very risky to visit these tourist locations . so please wait for weather and situations clearance

It feels great to visit these places and the mind gets immense peace.The temples here are associated with old beliefs. Every wish is fulfilled by coming to these temples.

A place of god where you can find a fresh positive vibes, greenery, fresh water fall, beautiful temples of god's. A great tourism place.

Visited Karsog valley and Kao temple. Kao temple is a beautiful experience, newly renovated the temple is modelled on the Pashupati nath temple in Kathmandu. Beautiful and serene.

Must visit place..people who want peace and keeping away themselves from busy lives..please visit karsog

Visited around new year, found it so colourful and calm. The altitude is not that high, but you can feel the cool breeze, walk with in apple orchids and forests. You can also explore the valley on foot, enjoy trecking on less travelled roads and walking trails. Must visit if you like travelling to peaceful, less travelled places!! 🙂

It is serene. Every valley is different in itself and i got to experience the same. There are ancient and religious places few kms away. Roads are beautiful. Please be respectful to the wildlife and drive within the speed limits. It’s a peaceful and well respected place, kindly maintain the same decorum.

A patch of rough road in between but easily manageable to drive . There are a few shops where you can buy eatables . A good space in parking ground then about 1000-1500 stairs climb till main temple .

Devotional and Spiritual place . Amazing and Beautiful place

Historical place.on the top of hills.surrounded the greenery.Mata sub ki echa Puran karti hai. Parking is available. Easily reached from janjehli or Devidahad.

Great place in snow covered mountains . Chill weather .. nice and reasonable food . I took 35-40 min. By car From club Mahindra janjehli to reach shikari mata temple gate and then 1001 stairs ( I guess) to temple . . It's like a fairyland .

Beautiful and peaceful place to visit….via janjehli or via devidhar(shorter)

Beutiful places Best for the family tour......... Enjoy the Nature and local culture and beautiful and health full peoples ........ And most important chapter....... Neat clean the please..,.

Free of cost Enjoy your Holiday with nature 😄

Beautiful place.. Calm.. Clean.. Best for meditation.. Peaceful 🌿🍃... Can stay there.. Best for family trips

When you're just 5-10 minutes away from lake, views are mesmerizing. Roads are not in good condition so don't drive too fast. Locals on the way sell something they call Pudina which looks almost different than what we use in Delhi. From parking, lake is quite close. I saw people climbing one more nearby cliff. I think view from that cliff would be amazing as it is at good height. There's Prashar Rishi's temple situated just aside the lake which makes the whole view all the more beautiful.

This place is awesome for trekking. One can go by bus in summer time closer to the temple, but in winter bus will not go to Parashar instead it will go to Baggi. After Baggi you have to trekk through the forest and climb hill. After a 9 km trekking you will reach Parashar lake. There is a small camping arrangement and a room too to stay. It can accommodate four people easily and it's very comfortable to stay. Be careful when you climb the hill in winter because it will be fully covered by visiting this place may be a lifetime experience for anyone.

Good place to visit trekk n camping at tha heivht of around 8000 ft frm sea level....view sre attractive n mind blowing...roads are very dangerous n in bad conditions...at the top nearby lake..u wl find eatables like fast food like maggie, prantha on a reasonable price...mst try once in lyf....

I have been there in that camp. They are caring about their customer. Too polite, please don't judge them. They don't know how to rent their things to customer, you need to ask them. They have many things anyone can easily rely on that. But yes need to improve the food.

Best place to stay and feel the peace here

The food & arrangements were awesome. Bon fire & music. Enjoyed my new year there.

Tourist place👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

Best place for couples

Jai hind 💓

Spiritual bliss amidst breathtaking beauty! This temple is a hidden gem, nestled in the mountains with a stunning view that will leave you speechless. The trek to the temple involves climbing 1100 stairs, but trust me, it's WORTH IT! The scenic route winds through lush green grasslands, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains that will take your breath away. The mountains stretch as far as the eye can see, with rolling hills and verdant valleys below. As you climb higher, the air grows fresher, and the atmosphere becomes more serene. The temple itself is a peaceful oasis, perfect for introspection and connection with nature. The architecture is beautiful, and the ambiance is calm and soothing. You can feel the spiritual energy emanating from the temple, making it a truly uplifting experience. The views from the top are simply stunning, with the sun casting a golden glow over the mountains and valleys. It's a perfect spot for photography, meditation, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature. I would highly recommend this temple to anyone looking for a spiritual experience, a challenging trek, or simply a chance to connect with nature. Whether you're a nature lover, spiritual seeker, or adventure enthusiast, this temple is a must-visit destination!

Shikari Mata Temple is a peaceful and scenic place located at about 3,332 meters in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. It can be reached by road with mesmerising views of entire janjheli & shikari valley . From the parking area, you need to do a short uphill hike of about 10–15 minutes to reach the temple. The place is surrounded by green meadows, forests and amazing mountain views. It’s not just a spiritual spot but also great for nature lovers. A perfect mix of beauty, calmness and a bit of adventure. Highly recommend!

Shikari Mata Temple sits atop on peak -about 3,359 m above sea level. High altitude: steep climb, over 500–600 stone steps. It’s a roofless temple dedicated to the goddess of hunters, Shikari Devi. It is said to be built by the Pandavas during their exile, the temple’s mythology stretches back to the mahabharat. Local devotees said, Despite a roofless shrine, the temple always remains snow-free, even during heavy winter snowfall—while the surrounding peaks are blanketed.

Everyone should visit! Mata Rani blessings are here! Awesome experience and awesome scenery around the mandir. Must visit place.

We want this place and this place was beautiful and I was getting different kind of spiritual connection over there And landscapes are really amazing from the top.

Located at an altitude of approximately 3,200 meters, Shikari Mata Temple is one of the holiest and most spiritually uplifting places in the Mandi district. Nestled amidst the majestic mountains, it’s not only a revered shrine but also the highest peak in Mandi. The temple holds ancient significance, dating back to the era of the Pandavas. I’ve had the blessing of visiting this sacred place multiple times, and each visit has been a deeply energizing experience. The environment is pure and powerful—filled with positivity, peace, and the divine presence of Shikari Mata Ji. You can truly feel the spiritual energy in the air. One of the most memorable visits was when we trekked to the temple from Devidarh village. It’s a beautiful and challenging 9–10 km trek through a dense, serene forest. It took us around four and a half hours to reach the top, and every step felt like a pilgrimage in itself—soothing the soul and connecting us with nature and divinity. In 2025, I had the fortune of visiting again with my family to seek blessings from Mata Ji. From 2018 to 2025, many things had changed, including the stairway leading to the temple, but the peace and divine energy remained as strong as ever. Jai Mata di🙏🏻🙏🏻

I felt a great spiritual connection here. Very calm and clean situated near river banks. It also has a children park and an eat-out.

The temple is beside Beas river and the mountains around give a breathtaking view the temple is calm and have wheelchair accessible entrance there are benches to shit and park for children to play nearby there are various bank atm outside and a car parking. very positive energy while being inside the temple.

Very nice temple & very good atmosphere, situated at Mandi main town beside the river of Biyas, if you stay at Mandi or you cross inside the town then must visit the temple.

I visited Bhimkali Temple in Mandi and had a wonderful experience. The temple is beautiful and very peaceful. The people there are kind and welcoming. The view from the temple is amazing, surrounded by mountains. It's a great place to relax and feel calm. I loved my visit and highly recommend it

Very beautiful location at the bank of Beas river. Very peaceful place to visit with family and friends. There is a beautiful little park also for children to enjoy swings in it. This temple is very attractive and ancient. It was constructed by Pandavas during their agyaat vaas.

Bheema Kali Temple in Mandi is a serene and sacred spot located on the banks of the Beas River. Dedicated to Goddess Bheema Kali, the temple is known for its peaceful ambiance and spiritual significance. The soothing sound of the flowing river adds to the divine atmosphere, making it a perfect place for prayer and reflection. Its picturesque location by the river makes it a must-visit for devotees. The Grabha Griha of the mata is very beautiful. Eveny evening at sunset aarti of mata takes place here which is very peaceful and divine. There is lots of parking nearby for easy access to the temple. Campus of the temple also has a temple of Panchmukhi Hanuman Ji, Ganesh Ji and Shiv ji. There is a childern park inside the campus. Must visit to get the blessings of mata 🙏🏻

When you opt for paragliding they will take you to top of a hill, you might be scared for a while but one the flight is on its peaceful, one can only hear and feel the air and get the Amazing view of nature. The total was roughly of 10 minute which totally depends on the wind conditions. The pilot was trained and was polite, had a good experience.

Good flying experience. They will ask for high price always bargain, don't btake there offers in air like 360 they will ask for extra rate.

Once in a life time experience to be Enjoyed if you ever visit to Manali

Good Experience, Enjoyed high fly. Attention : Before going to the takeoff platform please check your sports shoes bottom sole grip because the platform is a sloping area with slippery sand.

Best place to ever visit in manali. Paragliding is must if you visit monastry

This is the best place for the peace and photo shoot. College and school can approach this place if you are from himachal or near area. Here the migrating bird come for educational purposes can visit. You have to bring your food and water bottle. The area is full of plane you can play here. You can visit in one day this place. You will love this place and the beauty of this place.

Visiting Pong Dam was an absolute delight! The serene beauty of the vast reservoir, the calmness of the water, and the breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar ranges in the backdrop make this place a must-visit for nature lovers.

Great place to visit...... Really nice and calming place to visit with your friends and family..... You can enter with a very nominal fee of Rs.10 per person for indian citizens for foreign citizens Rs.50 per person........ You can also take your own vechicle to the shore with entry fee of Rs.100 per vehicle. You can also enjoy motor boat ride with Rs.1000 per hours basis which is quite expensive in my point of view. One thing they need to improve on that there roads needs maintenance which is in poor condition and they also needs to built sheds in between the roads for visitors.

Pong Dam Wildlife Sanctuary is very beautiful and peaceful. I recently visited here and see so many species of Birds and Water Migratory Birds. I see Golden jackals and Bird of Pray

This is a very big lake. Many beautiful migratory birds come here in January.

One of Beautiful wild life sanctuary. From November to February, birds from Siberia use to come here. Beside it one can go to Rancer island n bathu ki ladi. Can also enjoy boating in Resovair.
