Tarkeshwar Mahadev Temple

Tarkeshwar Mahadev is an ancient and powerfully atmospheric Shiva temple in a dense deodar forest 36 km from Lansdowne at 2,092 m — one of the most revered Shiva shrines in Garhwal, believed to grant all wishes of sincere devotees. The surrounding ancient cedar forest, Himalayan wildlife, and the temple's remote forest setting create an extraordinary spiritual atmosphere. A top Lansdowne pilgrimage and eco-tourism destination. Best trekked from Satpuli (14 km forest trail).
