About Jakhu Temple In Shimla

Jakhu Temple in Shimla is a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman and is famed for being home to thousands of adorable monkeys.

There is a huge statue of Lord Hanuman at the temple, standing at 108 feet high, which is the cynosure of all eyes. The temple is located on the highest peak of Shimla, at a height of 2455 meters, and is a major attraction in terms of religious travelers. While trekking to the temple, visitors can see the 108-feet tall Hanuman Statue in Jakhu Temple, hidden behind the deodar trees. The Hanuman statue is visible from anywhere on the hill. 

Jakhu Temple History

It has an interesting legend behind it, related to the Ramayana. It is said that Lord Hanuman rested here while going back to put Sanjeevani Hill back in its place. And this is why the top of Jakhu Hill is flattened. The temple has been constructed around the footprints of Lord Hanuman. It is said that you must ring the bell by the doorway before leaving so that the Lord takes heed of your prayers.

Jakhu Temple timings

The Temple timings for visitors are from 7 am to 8 pm. The Jakhu Temple is located at a distance of 5 km from Mall Road in Shimla. For those wondering how to reach Jakhu Temple should know that taxis are available at Mall Road to visit the temple. 

Apart from its religious significance, Jakhu Hill is also a great place to enjoy some of the most beautiful views of Shimla. The lush green winding pathways that take you to the temple are a treat for nature lovers. Well paved and well maintained, people of all ages can easily walk the entire way without breaking a sweat, although you can also make use of the ropeway that has recently been put in place to transfer devotees to the temple.

Book our Himachal an Punjab trip for 10n/11d thru Travel on ease. It was a very good experience with them ,special thanks to Ms Baby Dharta who was always there to help us. Since it was our first association with Travel on ease, we were a bit skeptical and anxious ,but all thanks to Baby ma'am who cleared our doubts. Keep up the good job guys !

Virendra's 9 days trip to Shimla

I want to give 1 star but feedback is not submitting below 3 stars so i have to give them 3 stars forcefully. I did not attend the Himachal trip, not by choice, but because of the serious and unforeseen geopolitical situation that made travel unsafe and impossible. Despite reaching out via email for clarity and support, I received no timely or responsible response from your team. Flights were canceled, regions like Shimla and Dharamshala were under high alert, and travel was clearly not feasible. In such circumstances, citing standard cancellation policies and offering only a credit note is highly disappointing and insensitive. This experience reflects a lack of seriousness in handling customer communication and crisis situations. I expected better professionalism and empathy. I sincerely hope you take this feedback seriously and improve your communication, support, and refund policy handling in future cases.

Nabil's 6 days trip to Shimla

I had booked my entire 5N-6D trip through Turn on vacation for the first time and I am extremely happy with the experience with them, Thanks to Mr. Sandeep who arranged the whole trip and booked hotels as per our suitability. . Cab during the trip was very comfortable specially the cab driver was very polite and soft spoken. Overall It’s a wonderful experience. Will definitely recommend and consider Turn on vacation for our travels plans.

Zala's 5 days trip to Shimla

Planned a trip with Travel to Himachal.. the beauty of Travel on ease is you can customize each part of your trip, the flights, the days, the stay, the places you wanna see and it's order. And then they cover you throughout the trip.. with a 24*7 customer care chat open with prompt replies.. so you r rest assured that you have someone backing you up throughout.. and the hotels they have chosen for me has never disappointed me.. Manali stay had a Jacuzzi stay was a river front.. I couldn't have chosen it better. Firsts trips as yet and they haven't disappointed till now.. hoping to go again with you guys.. thank you
