Kainchi Dham – The Sacred Ashram of Neem Karoli Baba
A revered spiritual destination, Kainchi Dham is the ashram of the great saint Neem Karoli Baba.

Jageshwar Dham – The Abode of 125 Ancient Temples
A cluster of over 125 ancient temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, Jageshwar Dham is one of the holiest sites in Kumaon. Dating back 2,500 years to the post-Gupta era, this temple complex is nestled amidst dense deodar forests beside the Jata Ganga stream. Protected by the ASI, it features classic Nagara-style shikharas and over 170 sculptures.

Chitai Golu Devta Temple – The Temple of Justice
Dedicated to Golu Devta, the deity of justice, this temple is famous for its unique tradition of devotees writing their wishes on paper and tying them to the temple walls with bells. Thousands of bells adorn the premises, each representing a wish fulfilled.

Patal Bhuvaneshwar – The Mystical Underground Cave Temple
A sacred limestone cave that holds hidden spiritual secrets, Patal Bhuvaneshwar is believed to be the abode of 33 crore Hindu deities. This 160-meter-long cave descends nearly 90 feet underground, with natural rock formations depicting Lord Shiva, Parvati, Sheshnag, and even the Char Dham. Adi Shankaracharya rediscovered this sacred cave centuries ago.
