We invite you to explore the mystery and spirituality of Patal Bhuvaneshwar, a limestone cave temple hidden in the heart of India. Dedicated to the worship of the majestic Lord Shiva, this temple captivates with its ancient aura and enigma.

Inside, you'll encounter a series of caves steeped in legend and lore, their interiors shrouded in mystery and illuminated by a soft glow of light, preserved immaculately through the ages. Embark on a journey of discovery, delving into the heart of ancient traditions and beliefs.

According to legend, even the Pandavas themselves, the revered heroes of the Mahabharata epic, visited this sacred temple with their wife Draupadi, unveiling the ancient secrets and adventures that unfolded during their journey to the Himalayas.

During this journey, you will find yourself immersed in the heart of an extraordinary mountainous world, where every step is illuminated by the sun's rays and offers awe-inspiring vistas. Traverse dense forests, feel the ancient wisdom of the trees, and traverse crystal-clear river cascades to reach the most enchanting corners of the Himalayas.

Explore the remarkable Nagmandir Temple, situated just 10 kilometers from Chowkori in Berinag. Dedicated to honoring the serpent king with multiple heads, known as Sheshnag, this temple captivates with its magnificence and historical significance.

According to Hindu mythology, Sheshnag is revered as a significant deity who forms the bed of Lord Vishnu and fosters the welfare of humanity. Nagmandir Temple, believed to have been constructed by Brahmins from Maharashtra in the 14th century, has become a place of devotion and reverence for pilgrims and worshippers alike.

Stepping into this sanctuary, you'll delve into the realm of spirituality and uncover the grandeur and significance of Indian mythology.

A highlight of Gangoliha is the ancient Khat Lalika Temple, dedicated to the goddess Kali. This sacred site draws thousands of devotees and pilgrims annually seeking peace, spiritual harmony, and the splendor of nature.

Lastly, another prominent tourist destination is the Nakuleshwar Temple, a renowned religious site near Chowkori in Pithoragarh. The Nakuleshwar Temple is crafted in the distinctive Khajuraho architectural style, attracting historians and devotees year-round. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple houses 38 stone sculptures depicting various Hindu deities.
