Around 60km from Nainital is Mukteshwar. A sleepy hilly town in the midst of nature. The place is known for Shiva Temple and a decent view of Nanda Devi Himalayan Peak.The shiva temple at Mukteshwar is more than 200 years old. It was set up by a saint who took samadhi here at Mukteshwar.The temple is nestled right on a hilltop.
You need to climb a lot of stairs to reach the temple premises. Climbing can be tough for people who have arthritis pain. It is a quiet place surrounded by oak trees.You will not see many tourists here, except locals.Mukteshwar temple is very close to the beautiful KMVN hotel. If the weather is clear, you would surely see the Himalayan range Trisul and Nanda Devi. I got a glimpse but weather was not good.
Tips: Don't forget to try out " Pears and Ram fhal (fruit)" sold by the locals right outside the temple. They are sweet juicy and aromatic and definitely worth a try.
While returning back to Nainital stop by at Nirvana Organic Kitchen for lunch or a coffee break.
A perfect place to relax and enjoy the dreamy view while sipping hot coffee.
