Ghandiyal Dham Trek

Khirsu is a hidden dream within a dense forest of pine, Oak and Rhododendron. Encircled by the snow-laden Himalayas peaks, Khirsu is nestled at an altitude of 1,700mt, a place memories its beauty from the fairy tales, one of the most unexplored destination of Garhwal. Situated at a distance of 19km from the Pauri town, Khirsu offers the widest outlook of the mighty Himalayan peaks. On a clear day, you can count at least 300 known and unknown peaks from here, away from the hustle-bustle of the city life. Now crowded by the tourists, this pristine environment is ideal for a rebirth. So serene and noiseless that you can even hear the sounds of the cracking leaves, under your feet. The ancient temple of Ghandiyal Devta in the vicinity is well worth to see.

Jwalpa-Devi Temple: A well- known religious centre on Pauri Kotdwar road. Open round the year. A big religious festival is held every year, during the Navaratras.
