A holy shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, this temple is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga's. Spend time absorbing the spiritual energy and marveling at the beautiful Himalayan landscape.
If you're fit and up for a challenge, head to Gandhi Sarovar - a serene lake located at a height of 14,000 feet. The trek offers breathtaking views of nature's beauty, terraced meadows and glaciers.
Embark on a trek to the beautiful Vasuki Tal - a high altitude lake that is considered as one of the most scenic natural spectacles in the region. Enjoy cool, fresh mountain air, the sound of birds and the beautiful sight of Himalayan peaks.
Visit Shankaracharya Samadhi which is a memorial that marks the sacred remains of Sri Shankaracharya - the great saint and philosopher who visited the shrine in the early 8th Century. Further, head to Swami Vivekananda Meditation Rock - a serene place to meditate and enjoy the mesmerising views of the snow-capped mountains.
Take a day trip to Sonprayag, a picturesque town situated on the confluence of the Mandakani and Basuki streams. Spend time exploring local markets, take a dip in holy waters or play by the rocks. Next, visit Gaurikund - another holy spot where Lord Shiva and Parvati are believed to have met.
If you have more time, consider adding a day trip to Triyuginarayan Temple - a temple believed to be the spot where Lord Shiva and Parvati got married. For less time, skip Gandhi Sarovar or Vasuki Tal trek. Always carry a first aid kit and consult locals/authorities before heading out on a trek.
