People here call it London Fort. It was built long ago when the Gorkhas ruled, and later came under British hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This<strong> London fort in Pithoragarh<\/strong> is not in good condition. Some walls are broken, and the corners have faded. But the view it offers is amazing, in fact, you can see the whole valley below and faraway snow peaks that glow softly during sunrise and sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is quiet here.

It is placed gently on a hill above Soar Valley and is known for its deep spiritual feel. This Pithoragarh temple is named after Sage Kapil Muni, who is believed to have meditated here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to climb more than 200 steps to reach this place. But the view along the way makes the walk feel light. Once you step inside the cool dark cave, everything becomes still. The main naturally formed Shiva Linga, and the shapes on the wall look like different Gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for a quiet place to sit and pray, this cave feels just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to try:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Walk slowly up the steps and take in the valley views<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Sit inside the cave and feel the calm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Offer a simple prayer to Shiva<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 If you visit during Mahashivratri, the temple feels more alive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Location: <\/strong>Soar Valley, near Takari Village, Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand \u2013 262501<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Timings:<\/strong> Open from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Suggested read:<mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\"> <\/mark><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/how-to-plan-a-trip-from-dehradun-to-kedarnath\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">How to Plan a Trip to Kedarnath from Dehradun<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thal_Kedar_%E2%80%93_A_Peaceful_Trek_to_Shivas_Hill\"><\/span><strong>Thal Kedar \u2013 A Peaceful Trek to Shiva\u2019s Hill<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 17 kilometers from Pithoragarh, Thal Kedar is a calm and spiritual spot loved by Lord Shiva\u2019s devotees.

A small road takes you part of the way, but the rest is a soft forest trek that feels peaceful at every step. There are trees lining your route, and birds call to each other through the silence. It is simple, and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you get the chance to travel during Shivaratri, you will see the place turn into a quiet festival, filled with prayers and mountain winds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to try:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Take the gentle forest walk and listen to the stillness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Sit at the top and look out at peaks like Nanda Devi and Panchachuli<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Close your eyes in the temple and feel the mountain\u2019s silence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Visit during Shivaratri to see the temple come alive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Location:<\/strong> Near Suntara Pokhari, about 17 km from Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand \u2013 262530<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Timings:<\/strong> 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tip: Start early so you can return before dark.

This peaceful place was created to protect the musk deer, but it offers much more to those who love nature and stillness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air feels cooler here. Trees swaying, and if you\u00b4re lucky, you might get a view of a Himalayan black bear or a deer quietly running between the greens. Amazing views of the Panchachuli peaks in the distance, it all feels very magical. You don\u00b4t have to hurry here.

Locals say that this cave holds the spirit of 33 crore gods. And once you are inside, you will feel why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You walk slowly, guided by a local priest. The stones take the shape of Ganesh, of Shiva\u2019s hair, of Sheshnag holding the earth.

The air is fresh, the people are kind, and the roads lead you to moments that feel almost untouched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Munsiyari-1-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Munsiyari in Pithoragarh\" class=\"wp-image-267\" title=\"Munsiyari in Pithoragarh\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Munsiyari-1-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Munsiyari-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Munsiyari-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Munsiyari-1-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Munsiyari-1.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Things to do in Munsiyari&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Try Khalia Top Trek<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit Birthi Falls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explore this old Kumaoni village&nbsp; Darkot Village&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Panchachuli View Point&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Address &#8211; <\/strong>Munsiyari, District Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand \u2013 262554<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best Time to Visit<\/strong> <strong>Munsiyari&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">March to June and September to November offer the clearest skies and best views.

Close by is the famous Om Parvat, where snow forms a clear \u201c\u0950\u201d symbol on the peak is what the whole magic is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Adi-Kailash-Yatra-_-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Adi Kailash Yatra \" class=\"wp-image-310\" title=\"Adi Kailash Yatra \" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Adi-Kailash-Yatra-_-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Adi-Kailash-Yatra-_-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Adi-Kailash-Yatra-_-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Adi-Kailash-Yatra-_-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Adi-Kailash-Yatra-_.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Adi Kailash Yatra Details:<\/strong><br><br><strong>Best Time to Start Yatra:<\/strong> May to June as well as September to October<br><strong>Starting and Ending Point:<\/strong> The Yatra starts from Pithoragarh and ends at Jolingkong for Adi Kailash darshan.

The weather is pleasant and usually cool, suitable for sightseeing, temple visiting, and long walks in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who enjoy greenery and soft rains, <strong>July to September<\/strong> brings quiet monsoon charm. The hills glow green, and the clouds often touch the mountains, but travel can be slower due to occasional roadblocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you love snow and cold winds, <strong>October to February <\/strong>brings a chill to the air. The views become crisp, and mornings feel peaceful. Just carry warm clothes and travel safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Personal Tip:<\/strong> Try visiting in <strong>March or October<\/strong>. The weather is kind, the views are clear, and the crowd is smaller. You\u2019ll feel the true calm of this hill town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Connectivity from Delhi:<br><\/strong>Getting to Pithoragarh from Delhi is not as short as reaching Rishikesh, but it is smoother than you would expect. To plan a trip from Delhi, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a train to Tanakpur (the nearest railway station), then drive about 150 km (around 5 hours).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive the entire way roughly 500 km, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tempotravller.com\/\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">Tempo Traveller Hire in Delhi<\/mark><\/strong><\/a>, which takes about 12\u201314 hours, depending on how often you stop for chai and selfies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buses run regularly to Almora and Champawat, from where you can get shared taxis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a bit of a journey, but that\u2019s partly why Pithoragarh still feels quiet and undiscovered. And trust me, once you see those views and breathe that air, you will realise it was worth every kilometre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span>Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pithoragarh is not just another hill town. It is a quiet pause from the fast-running life. The valleys whisper stories, the temples hold deep stillness, and the sky here feels closer than anywhere else. If you trust the calm of this place, it won\u2019t disappoint you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As personal advice, try to skip the hassle of calling different people for transport. Book your car rental or Tempo Traveller in advance. It saves time, keeps your journey smooth, plus lets you focus on what truly matters- the experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are tired of noisy hill stations and busy tourist spots.
