Hill Top Temple

You have to climb a short flight of stairs to reach the small temple. It is supposed to be 350years old. The diety is a small one of Lord Shiva in white marble - quite unique. We went very early - so..

Lord Shiva Temple

You can visit the temple if you have nothing else to do in Mukteshwar and are staying for quite a long time while enjoying the weather and scenic views.

Divine Abode. Serenity at its best

Must Visit. Take a walking stick. Take a guide who takes around a small hike. Don't use the boring stairs.
