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.

Shivr's 5 days trip to Shimla

Lets start with the driver. In spite of his perfect driving skills and good behaviour, he could use some maturity. Asking us to be ready at 08:00, he ate breakfast at 09:15. Ttravel Vichar follow-up was non- existant but Prerna at Travel Triangle was excellent. Hotels: Nandini Villa in Dharamshall

a is the very best with supper caring and professional staff. Stylia hotel in Dalhousie: The view from the room was excellent but there it all stops. They are not used to European tourists, they did not have knives to the fork, they could not offer non-veg food the first day, did not have shower in the bathroom, the electrical installations didn't work properly, the room was very cold, the electrical sockets did not fit the plug and were not placed pracyically. Worst of all, there was no wardrobe to hang clothes. Vijay, the Manager, wwas though very accomodating and did his best to make ourr bearable. Grand Cobbanaa hotel was ok but did not have hair drier. To conclude tge hotel staff in all hotels very friendly and did their best to help our stay. Hotel Nandini Villa

Food taste of Manaw Valley Resort was very dull. When asked for the same they replied "we serve dull food only". Not a good experience with the food there. Apart from that no other issues with our stay in any of the hotels. Cab driver was the best I have come across. He was friendly throughout..

Krishna's 6 days trip to Shimla

This was our was first trip-planning with Travel Triangle, and we got to connect with Ms Urmila - our travel agent from The Ideal Tours. She is very sincere in her approach and designed the itinerary nicely. Travel Triangle was also very much cooperative and kept their commitment. Our full trip w

as awesome, we ( myself, my husband and our son) enjoyed a lot, We visited Amritsar, Dharamshala and Dalhousie. Visited the much awaited Golden temple and Wagha Border parade. Enjoyed the mesmerizing scenic beauty of nature , including the life-time experience of paragliding. The hotel room in Amritsar was congested and lacked in proper ventilation, though the staffs were very amicable. They served 3 bottles of free mineral water to us while we checked out, The hotels in Dharamshala and Dalhousie were very nice , with picturesque beauty and amicable stuffs. All thanks to our trip guide Sunakshi Sharma from Travel Triangle and our travel agent Ms Urmila. Our Driver Mr. Kanhaiya was cooperative and guided us throughout the trip. Our car was having some problem with the AC. When this problem was reported to Ms Urmila, she took this matter seriously and replaced the car at Dharamshala, which is much appreciated. They were always in touch with us during the trip. Kudos to the team. We would definitely recommend Travel Triangle - The Ideal Tours to our friends and relatives. Thank you. - Krishna Ghoshal
