Briddha Jageshwar (Vriddha Jageshwar), sitting high on a high mountain ridge roughly 3 km above the main valley of Jageshwar, is believed to be the original site where Lord Shiva was first worshipped in this holy region before the valley temples were constructed. Situated at an altitude of over 2,200 meters, this ancient hilltop shrine offers panoramic vistas of the snow capped Himalayan peaks including Trishul and Nanda Devi.
Surrounded by dense oak and rhododendron forests, the secluded temple complex exudes deep meditative tranquility. Pilgrims visiting Uttarakhand climb or drive up the scenic winding ridge road to seek blessings at the sacred ancient Shiva lingam and soak in unhindered Himalayan panoramas.
Truth is, clear sunrise views here are among the most spectacular in Kumaon. Temple darshan is open daily from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM with zero entry fees.
The best months to visit Briddha Jageshwar are from March to June and September to November for clear mountain vistas and pleasant hiking weather.
