Shikhar Temple (also revered as Mool Shikhar Mandir or Shikhar Mahadev) is a high altitude sacred Shiva shrine sitting high on the highest peak near Kapkot, roughly 18 km from Bageshwar. Situated at an elevation of over 2,250 meters, this ancient stone temple commands striking 360 degree panoramic vistas of the snow capped peaks of Trishul, Nanda Devi, and Maiktoli.
Revered by local mountain communities as a powerful manifestation of Lord Shiva, devotees climb up the scenic forest trail passing through oak, pine, and rhododendron woods to ring brass bells and seek blessings for rain and community prosperity. Pilgrims touring northern Uttarakhand cherish the serene meditative solitude and pristine mountain air.
Truth is, early morning sunrise over the high peaks from this vantage is pure bliss. Temple darshan is open daily from sunrise to sunset with free entry for all travelers.
The best months to visit Shikhar Temple are from March to June and September to November when mountain weather is pleasant and trails are clear.
