A ridge-top Shakti temple above Rishikesh, celebrated for sunrise, sweeping Himalayan peaks, forest approaches, and wide Doon Valley views.
About the place

On clear mornings, Himalayan ranges rise beyond layered valleys, while a forest trek from Hindolakhal offers a quieter approach to the sacred summit.
