    Mukteshwar

    Set near Nainital in Uttarakhand, Mukteshwar is a tiny hill town amidst the snow-clad mountains. Mukteshwar is home to a 350-year-old Shiva Temple known as Mukteshwar Dham and is famous for its proximity to adventurous activities and breathtaking views of the Himalayas. Mukteshwar's verdant paths and winding alleys make it a great place to go hiking, as well as rock climbing and rappelling. Some of the most popular tourist destinations in this area are the colonial-style cottages and residences, as well as the attractive orchards, rolling meadows, and other natural spots. The best way to experience Mukteshwar is by simply allowing yourself to travel slowly and take in the views of the nature.
