Nanda Devi Temple is a sacred thousand year old shrine dedicated to Goddess Nanda Devi (the patron deity of Kumaon), perched gracefully on a mountain knoll roughly 3 km from Munsiyari town center. Built with classical local stone masonry and wooden gabled roofs, the temple stands directly opposite the towering Panchachuli massif, offering one of the most stunning photographic backdrops in the Himalayas.
Revered by the indigenous Shauka community and high altitude shepherds, the temple is reached via an easy 3 km scenic walk from Munsiyari market passing through pine groves and alpine meadows. Pilgrims traveling across eastern Uttarakhand gather here during the vibrant Nanda Devi Mahotsav in autumn to offer prayers for prosperity and safe mountain livestock grazing.
Truth is, sitting on the temple steps during sunset while the snow peaks turn fiery orange is pure magic. Darshan is open daily from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM with free entry for all visitors.
The best months to visit Nanda Devi Temple in Munsiyari are from March to June and September to November when skies are crisp and clear.
