Gangolihat is a historic cultural town and prominent pilgrimage center tucked at an elevation of roughly 1,760 meters in the Pithoragarh district of Gangolihat. Known as the seat of the powerful Katyuri and Chand kings who ruled the Gangoli province between the Saryu and Ramganga rivers, the town is celebrated throughout India for its ancient Shakti shrines and subterranean limestone caves.
The spiritual heart of the town is the revered Haat Kalika Temple (Maa Mahakali), consecrated by Adi Shankaracharya and worshipped by the Kumaon Regiment as their patron deity. Pilgrims and tourists touring eastern Uttarakhand use Gangolihat as the base hub to visit the famous underground cave wonders of Patal Bhuvaneshwar and explore ancient Chamunda, Vaishnavi, and Ambika Devi temples.
Truth is, the panoramic views of the Panchachuli snow range from the pine ridge viewpoints are unforgettable. The town bazaars and temples remain open daily with free entry for all visitors.
The best months to visit Gangolihat are from September to May when the mountain weather is clear, sunny, and pleasant.
