Tracking to Maa Bharmani Temple situated on the Hilltop (Sansal, Baijnath)

There are many beautiful places around us which are still not connected by the road and we can reach these places by tracking. At my native house in village Mandher (Baijnath), I used to see a small village on the hilltop from childhood and I always thought about reaching this place one days. My requests to reach there in childhood were not accepted by my parent because they thought it is too danger for a child to visit it. From my village, this place is situated at a sharp climb which makes the journey difficult. The only way to reach this place is by foot because this place has no road connectivity because of its location on the hilltop.

Thanks to few friends, I started my journey to reach a small yet beautiful temple of Maa Bharmani situated at the hilltop. We took with us water, prepared tea, cooked food and maggi. It was wise decision to carry some water and eatables because these locations can be very hostile and we may not find any person on the way. There are two ways from villages sansal and mandher to reach this place. The way from Sansal village is much better and wide, however, I chose the way from Mandhar village side because it was near to me.

Regular commuters on this path take only one and half hour to climb to nearest village of Barahan on this route but people like me need slightly more time and rest on the way.

Taking a rest and drinking tea on the way, we reached a small village called Barahan. Even at this height, we can find all the facilities in this village like electricity, water taps, concrete roads and dish TVs. At meet a few old people in the village who were aware of my grand father and meet him in past because of the Govt Ration Depot held by him.

Our destination, Maa Bharmani Temple was still away and we needed to climb more to reach it so we stayed in this village for some time and filled our water bottle. This small village provides a great view of life on hilly people who still enjoy a life depended on nature.

Eating food in the solitude of nature is a great enjoyment and one should carry some food with it because we feel tried after climbing. We also need to be aware of the dogs on the way because they can attack or bark at you by finding you strangers.

Next step was to reach the top of hill where Maa Bharmani Temple is situated. This temple serves a few village nearby villages and we found all facilities is this temple like a concrete floor, store-room and availability of electricity.

The temple was closed and the temple presit was not present when we reached the temple so we prayed to diety from the outside and enjoyed the view from top. The view from top is very nice and I was able to see my tiny house from the top.

After spending some time there, we started our back journey and started to descend. On the way, we burn some fire and cooked maggie. It was again a fun to enjoy self cooked hot maggie at this place. The time was 2:45 PM when we started our down journey because sun sets early in hills.

By 4:30 PM, we reached our home in Mandhar village slightly tried on the one day climbing and then come back. Overall, it was a great experience and fun to discover something so close but very farway.

Beautiful Mahakaleshwar Pandoi Devta ji Temple at Pandoa (Shimla)

You are aware of my road trip on the stretch Nalagrah-Ramshehr-Arki-Basantpur-Luhri -ANNI. When from Basantpur-Tatapani Road, we take a right turn on MDR 22 towards Luhri and Rampur then we follow the Satluj river continuously and get a chance to see communities living near Satluj river and in this valley. We also get a chance to see their culture and beliefs. Today, I am going to talk about the Pandoi Devta temple situated just a few meters away from this road at Pandoa village. Himachal Pradesh can be known as a place of thousands of deities; therefore, we say it the land of Gods. This temple is not visible from the road and you need to take an unpaved road that is 300 meters long to reach this temple. Pandoi Devta temple is a set of one main temple and two Kothis. At this place, we can find the same style of Shivlinga as we find at the Ujjain; therefore, this place is also known as Mahakaleshwar Pandoi Devta ji Shahib. It is believed that this Shivlinga was created by Pan...

Exciting Journey to the Hatu Peak and Hatu Maa Temple, Narkanda (Shimla)

Today, I will discuss another journey to the top of a hill, earlier, I shared my journey to Prashar Lake , Shakti Devi Temple , and Tracking to Bharmani Maa Temple which all were situated on the hilltop. When a person goes to a hill station then he loves to see hills and peaks. There are some peaks around us that are accessible by the road and one such beautiful peak is Hatu Peak near Narakanda (Himachal). People can easily reach the top of the hill by a narrow road which becomes slippery in the snow. Like most of the peak, the Hatu peak does give a great glimpse of the valleys and hills around. On the top, we can find the wooden temple of Hatu Maa. The wooden temple shows the beauty of craftsman skills and gives us an opportunity to see the style of temples in this area. Hatu Peak is the famous and second highest peak in the Shimla region and the good point is that we can reach this point in our car; therefore, many people visit this place. The road to visit the Hatu peak is ver...

Journey to Hill Station Paneu (Paneo) and Naag Temple (Lesser Known Gem of Hills)

I always love to visit hilltops because they provide the ultimate beauty and adventure. My journeys to Hatu Peak Narkanda , Prashar Lake in Mandi , and to the ancient wooden temple of Skhati Devi in Chhatrari are some of its examples. This time, I got a chance to visit an ancient Naag Temple situated at Paneu (Paneo) hill station where a British rest house is situated. This hill station and Naag temple are situated 7 KM away from Kungash in Anni Tehsil of Kullu. The ancient Naag Temple is situated at walking distance from the main top and gets a chance to walk through the tall (some are around 50 feet of height) deodar (Pine) Trees. The last six-kilometer road to the Paneo is not metaled and it is very narrow at some points accompanied by a steep climb. This area is predominately an apple-growing belt and we can find many apple orchids on the way. Around the temple, we can find a small pond that gets its water from rain. The temple also resembles the famous Kamro...

My Journey to Masroor Rock Cut Temples (Kangra, Himachal Pradesh) with Pictures and Review

In this post, I am going to share the experience of my recent visit to famous Rock Cut Temples in Masroor Village of Kangra district in Himachal Pradesh. This village is about 38 KM away from Kangra Town and here we can see 15 rock-cut temples in Indo-Aryan style. I came to know about this place through the pictures of a friend on Facebook. This place looked very attractive in pictures so I decided to visit this place. I took the route through Dehra town situated at the bank of Beas river. The disadvantage of taking this route is poor road conditions. It is around 35 KM from Dehra. After a journey of one hour from Dehra, I reached the Masroor Rock Cut Temple site. When you reach the temple site, then you first see the backside of the temples. Masroor Rock Cut Temples Th...
