Hanuman Garhi Temple is one of the most peaceful and spiritually uplifting places to visit in Nainital. Dedicated to Lord Hanuman, this hilltop temple is located around 3 km from the main town and is known for its serene atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and stunning sunset views. The temple was built by Neem Karoli Baba in the 1950s, which adds to its spiritual importance among devotees.

As you climb up to Hanuman Garhi, you are greeted by a large statue of Lord Hanuman opening his chest to reveal Lord Rama and Sita, symbolising devotion and strength. The temple complex is simple yet calming, offering a peaceful space for meditation and prayer. The cool mountain breeze and the quiet ambience make it a perfect place to sit, relax, and connect with your inner self.

One of the major highlights of Hanuman Garhi is its breathtaking sunset point. From the top, you can enjoy an expansive view of the surrounding hills, valleys, and the golden evening sky. Many travellers visit the temple during late afternoon to witness the magical transformation of colours as the sun goes down behind the Kumaon hills.

 

Surrounded by greenery and blessed with a naturally tranquil atmosphere, Hanuman Garhi Temple is an ideal spot for spiritual seekers, nature lovers, and those who want a peaceful break from the busy streets of Nainital. It beautifully blends devotion, nature, and scenic charm, making it a must-visit attraction in the hill town.
