JAGESHWAR – A scenic village blended in spirituality
Ecoplore brings you to the offbeat divine destinations of Kumaon. Uttarakhand is famous for Char Dham Yatras but you might know about the hidden ancient Shiva temples in the vicinity of Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary. Here we will take you to Jageshwar Dham.
A three-hour drive from Almora takes you to 7800 feet high in mountains and lands you at a beautiful eco stay in Vridh Jageshwar, facing the snowy Himalayan mountains. 100-year-old Kumaoni house restored with stones. The eco-stay is surrounded by a forest of kafal, rhododendrons, oak and cedar. The interior of the house reflects Kumaon culture. How can we forget the best part of the stay; It was delicious food. The ecostay is a perfect combo of comfort, culture and calmness. It is 15 minutes drive from Vridh Jageshwar temple, where Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of an old man.
We have found another gem in the forest of rhododendrons, overlooking a beautiful valley. This eco-friendly hotel is a must-visit place for adventure lovers. This eco-hotel offers bicycle rides, Binsar forest trekking, hiking, meditation and reading activities. You can enjoy fresh farm-grown vegetables and chapatis made of ragi flour ground in a watermill. Interaction with locals about the village lifestyle and simple village walks will fill your heart with joy.
Jageshwar Dham temple is a sacred place, which according to folklore is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The reason for this is that the temple is surrounded by cedar trees, which is mentioned in the Dwadash Jyotirlinga verses. We found our third ecostay here, facing the beautiful cedar trees forest; near Jageshwar temple. I would love to define it in one word “wellness”. You can choose this eco-friendly hotel for physical, mental and spiritual wellness. On top of that, it is well known for its hospitality, food and luxury. A must visit place to experience peace in Jageshwar.
