HIGHLY RECCOMEND if you are in Lansdown or around. It's about an hour drive from Lansdowne city center.

4.5Surkanda Devi Temple(354 reviews) - ROPEWAY Makes it easy . One of the Shakti Peets with Outstanding views Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
The ropeway (which started in May 22)made it quite easy to visit. One of the Shakti Peets where the Head of Mata Sati fell and hence Mata's head is only seen in the temple. The views from the temple (and the path) are stunning as the temple is at over 10000 feet above Sea level Due to winds the ropeway stopped working around 1130 am and we walked down via walking path which was very beautiful. (In due course locals feel the walking path may fall into disuse due to the ropeway. ) We came from Harsil via Uttarkashi and the NH34 indicated by Google Maps was being reparied/repaved so the journey was terrible. Do not trust Google maps and ask for directions. There is no phone number to the ropeway as far as I know. So you cannot ascertain if it is working. Ropeway usually stops at 5pm.See more..

The temple is a beautiful place with the environment offering peace and tranquility.

However, it is clearly stated that clicking photos inside the temple premises is strictly prohibited. The area behind the temple is serene. There is a ghat built where people perform puja. You can also sit and relax since the water flowing is soothing to watch, and dipping your feet in it helps you calm down due to the cool temperature.

5.0Hemkund Sahib(119 reviews) - Truly Divine Religious Sites
Hemkund Sahib was a last minute addition in our already chalked out Chardham Yatra itinerary & I'm so happy & grateful that we did it. If you stay in Govindghat the helipad is very close & you may take a pony ahead or just walk it up. But after you reach the top you will certainly be rejuvenated by the positive vibes of this most revered pilgrimage of Sikhs with a wonderful serene lake in its vicinity. Do not miss the Lokpal Laxman temple which is adjacent to this Gurudwara where Lord Laxman had meditated. This is the only temple in the whole of India which is dedicated to Lord Laxman alone. Not to be missed pilgrimage when you are on a Chardham Yatra regardless of your religion. The efforts for the climb are really worth the satisfaction you will achieve after visiting this Gurudwara. Very highly recommended for sure. See more..
4.5Patal Bhuvaneshwar Cave Temple(114 reviews) - A view point for 180 degree Himalayas! Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Caverns & Caves • Religious Sites
1. A must stay place for viewing 180 degree Himalayas. The best time is Nov-Dec to view the snow claden mountains. 2. Both sunrise and sunset are not to be missed- wonderful colouration. 3. Probably the mountain views are better as compared to Binsar and the KMVN is much cheaper. The facilities are moderate and only veg foods are provided. 4. The minimum temperature is close to 0 degree during the winters but there are no room heaters and this is a problem. 5. The Patal Bhuvaneshwar cave is bit difficult for elderly people but there will be a guide cum priest, who will help you out. 6. I strongly feel that people should spend one night at least on their way to Chaukori or Munsiari. 7. The place is about 10 km from Gangolihat and around 90 Km from Lohaghat and the KMVN lodge is within the cave complex but it is not drive inn. One has to climb down about 20-25 steps in order to reach the TRH. Also, it is around 35 Km from Chaukori.See more..

4.0Joshimath(91 reviews) - Auli - Himalaya at its majestic best Religious Sites
Auli is a littele gem in Gahrwal. Its 16km from Joshimath. I visited Auli during march 2013. The moment you will enter the compund of GMVN Auli resort its a different world altogether. I haven't seen the himalayan peaks so close before. The trishul, the Nandadevis were tantalizingly close. Since its almost 10K feet abve sea level, one day should be kept to get used to the thin air at high altitude. On the second day we went for a trek till Garson bugyal. The trek was amazing. As we climbed up the snow increased, and the view got better. We almost trekked for 4 hours. There is also a chair lift service from GMVN till the cliff top resort Auli. It costs 300 rupees per person both ways, but its not worth. Its better to trek and enjoy the viewsSee more..

Visited the temple in June’22. The way to the temple is through a forest trek with beautiful views of pine trees, small streams, birds call etc., it took around 45-50 minutes leisurely walk and with small breaks in between to reach the temple. However, the pathway has ups and downs, rocky surface, at places slippery and stairs, hence may be difficult for Sr. Citizen and Kids. The temple is small and well maintained, we offered prayer peacefully. During our visit, the adjacent waterfall had very small stream of water, spotted couple of people taking bath in the waterfalls. We hired a local guide @ Rs. 300, which was helpful during the trek. Couple of small shops that selling basic snacks and cold drinks are available at the starting point. Overall, it was a memorable visit to the temple.See more..

4.5Pawan Dham(58 reviews) - Glas and mirrors temple Religious Sites
I was told that Pawan Dham Temple is one of the most visited Hindu temples in Haridwar. When I saw it, I wasn’t surprised. The design and layout of the temple is very distinctive. Much of the interior is decorated in a mixture of mirrors and colour glass tiles. One of the presiding deities is a Vishvarupa or universal form of Krishna. Not something I see often in Hindu temples, so it was doubly interesting.See more..
4.5Ma Anandamayee Ashram(58 reviews) - Finding no words to Explain the magic of the place Religious Sites
Anandamayi Ma's samadhi temple is lovely and peaceful. One can stay and meditate as long as one wishes during it's open hours, which is most of day. Visitors come and go. Although some do not respect the silence of the place, they are usually gone quickly. I wrote for permission to stay at Anandamayi Ma International Centre for three days. On arriving there and seeing my room I confess I broke down in tears of happiness. I'd been having a difficult time for the past ten days after having twisted my knee and sprained my ankle on a trek to Vasudhara Falls, then trying to survive the fierce heat, pollution and crowds of thousands at the end of Dussehra in Rishikesh. The room and bath at Ma's Centre were so nicely outfitted! Everything was pristinely clean and in good repair; towels, bedding, bath rug, etc. From every wall, pictures of Ma offered comfort and inspiration. It was nicer than any of the so-called 5 star hotels I'd stayed at; never-mind some of the threadbare ashrams. The food that the cook went to market for in the morning was delicious and ample. It was sattvic and prepared with love. The staff at the centre and the people who managed the two small shops by Ma's samadhi emulated a genuine spirit of care. A few minutes away was a nice ghat where I went every day and soaked my injuries in the healing waters of Mother Ganga. So grateful to have experienced this unassuming, yet love-permeated place.See more..
