Know Your Destination

Madmaheshwar Temple Trek:
Out of the five temples that adhere to Lord Shiva in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, Madmaheswar comes 2nd in the cluster. There are no motorable roads directly connected to the sanctum, from onwards Ransi village you’ll have to trek. Heightened at 3,497m the trek to the temple is accessible moderately.
The complex of the temple is nestled in between the four pillars (Chaukhambha) of the high-mountainous peaks of Kedarnath and Neelkanth. The vicinity also features the endangered Himalayan Musk deers and Himalayan monal pheasant to be precise.

Rudranath Temple:
Surrounded by the dense, lush green forest full of Rhododendron flowers and meadows of Alpines, Rudranath Temple is the 4th temple in the Panch Kedar circuit. Within the temple complex, you’ll witness numerous tanks filled with sacred waters and even at its backdrop, the peaks of Trishul Parvat, Nanda Devi and Nanda Ghunti can be seen.
To add to this, the pious river of Vaitarni flows near the temple and makes the environment more spiritual. The trek to Rudranath ji starts from the Sagar village and hardly requires 30 min to reach.

Panar Bugyal:
A retreat to the Panar Bugyal landscape in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand is considered very tranquil and serene. It’s a highly balanced and well-paved trek with almost no difficulty but offers spectacular views of High-rise mountain peaks. This paradise blooms and glows even more in the pleasant weather of spring and summer, giving birth to numerous enchanting alpine flowers.
Rudranath temple falls under a trek of 10 km from this pasture land. The route to the bugyal is approachable from various major destinations of Uttarakhand.

Kalpeshwar Temple:
With the pristine vistas, the Urgam Valley situated in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand encompasses the revered shrine of Lord Shiva called Kalpeshwar. This is counted as the fifth divinity sanctum of Panch Kedar temples. The route to the doors of this temple is one of the most approachable and motorable roads. It’s hardly 300m above Devgram village that you’ll have to cover by foot.
Moreover, it’s also the only Panch Kedar temple that is available for the Devotees to have darshans throughout the year. On its way, you’ll also witness the confluence of two devout rivers, Alaknanda and Kalpganga.

Sagar Village:
At a distance of 5-6 km from Gopeshwar is located this pristine village, Sagar. The villagers here entertain the life of authenticity. The hustles of the outside world can easily be forgotten in this nature’s wonderland. There are numerous streams of fresh water flowing along the village and even several treks to different temples and to meadows start from here.
Locally proven as a highly pious and sacred temple of Sakleahwar Mahadev is also situated here.

Ransi:
The village that serves as the gateway to one of the Panch Kedar temples, Madmaheshwar in itself is a peaceful hidden jewel. In the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, this tiny hamlet comprises many sceneries in its surroundings. The place also offers a rich variety of biodiversity. Many devotees take this route for other different treks as well such as Nandi Kund Lake, Kanchani Tal and more.
The region also delivers a deep insight into the terraced lands, greenery and picturesque landscapes.
