Jakhu Temple

Jakhu Temple is a famous and sacred temple in Shimla dedicated to Lord Hanuman. It is located on the highest hill in the city, giving visitors amazing views of the mountains and valleys below. The main attraction is the giant 108-feet tall Hanuman statue, which can be seen from many parts of Shimla.

To reach the temple, visitors can trek up a beautiful forest path or take a cable car from The Ridge. The climb is a bit steep, but the refreshing pine trees, cool breeze, and birdsong make the journey enjoyable.

There are many monkeys around the temple, as Hanuman is their beloved deity. Visitors are advised to keep mobiles, food, and bags safe from them. Inside the temple, people pray, ring bells, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Jakhu Temple is a must-visit for those who love nature, spirituality, and beautiful viewpoints. Standing here feels like you are on top of the world, close to the sky and mountains.
