Kalpeshwar Temple is a small but ancient temple located in the Urgam Valley of Chamoli district in Uttarakhand, India. It is one of the five temples that form the revered Panch Kedar pilgrimage circuit, with Kalpeshwar being the fifth temple visited in the sequence. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple holds a significant religious importance, especially considering the naturally formed stone lingam that it houses. The structure of Kalpeshwar Temple is modest, made out of stones and wood, reflecting the typical architectural style of mountain temples. This sacred site is cradled by lush greenery and is surrounded by dense forests and terraced fields, offering a serene and contemplative environment. The temple can be accessed through a trekking route that meanders through picturesque landscapes, including alpine meadows and rhododendron forests. Devotees and tourists alike undertake this journey, drawn both by the temple's spiritual aura and the area's natural beauty.
