Dhwaj Temple

Dhwaj Temple is a revered shrine of Shiva and Maa Jayanti. From Pithoragarh, expect about 10 km by road and then a 4 km walk.

Part of the way is on foot, so it counts as an adventure outing as much as a religious one. From the temple you see the ring of snowy peaks around.

It makes a good half-day trip from town. Carry water, wear walking shoes and ask us when to start.
