1. Chandrabadni Temple.

                                                          

The Chandrabadani Temple is dedicated to the Goddess of power. According to the legends, Lord Shiva while carrying torso of his consort Sati, accidentally dropped it here and her weapons got scattered all around the place. Thus, even today huge number of iron trishuls (tridents) and some old statues can be seen lying around the revered temple of Chandrabadani.

Situated at the top of Chandrakut hill, this temple is one of the Shakti peeths. As the name suggests, chandrabadni, Goddess Shakti's torso fell on this place.
You have to climb on foot to the temple, a concrete path is there for the convenience. The view towards the destination is pristine, and as you ascend you can clearly see the Himalayan ranges clad in white sheets of snow. At the top there is a small temple and the cold breeze is constant there. At the bottom from where the temple stair starts vendors of puja samagri are there.

The only thing lacking there is a washroom near the premises and even if one is there that is in disgusting condition.

 

• The best view from the top! Need to walk like 100+ stairs... However, it's worth reaching and having a pleasant view of the Shivalik range from top.
