Summers are cool, winters get quite cold and it may snow. Being
a sacred site, crowds throng the place during important religious
festivals.
Experience at Jageshwar
Van Serai is perfect for a peaceful holiday.
It is ideally located for those wanting to introspect, meditate
or take a break from their stressful lives. However, for those
who like a little action, there is plenty to do in and around
Jageshwar.
Temple Visit
A visit to the famous temples is almost mandatory. Reminding
you of the stone balanced structures straight out of a Flintstones
comic or Stonehenge, these temples have been here since centuries
and are a wonder in themselves. The little legends and tales
around the temples are part of the folklore and intrigues which
our local guides would be happy to share with you.
Birding & Nature Walks
The deodars forests at the lower altitude and the pine cover
further up, are the perfect habitat for many rare bird species.
Van Serai‘s in-house birding expert will be happy to initiate
you into the world of bird watching. If you are already into
birding, he would be an interesting source of information on
species specific to this region. You can also choose to explore
the beautiful forests at your own pace, maybe carry a picnic
hamper for a longer trek and make the most of the natural beauty
around you.
Picnics
Nothing like a packed lunch under the Deodar trees while sitting
on a large rock by the rivulet. From having grown up in the
area, our staff knows the undiscovered spots with the best rocks.
Make paper boats or simply watch the small fish swim around.
For the more adventurous, wash your feet in the chilled water.
Village Visit
You can take a walk around the local villages, admiring the traditional
old houses with carved wooden doors and windows. Watch how time
has stood still in some places and modernity has engulfed some
others.
A visit to Jageshwar is incomplete without an interaction with
a local family accompanied with a local Kumaoni meal. Sit around
the bonfire hearing the local folklore and haunting Kumaoni
music and songs. Feel the warm hearted welcome and make a friend
for life. Let our staff know if you‘re interested and
we will help put it together for you.
Exploring Caves
The cave structures in and around Jageshwar are absolutely
enticing. From small holes in the walls to large caves which were
probably used for Tantric congregations.
The entire countryside around the area is dotted with caves, each
one with its own story. The most famous amongst these are the
Airavat Cave and the Pataal Bhuvaneshwar caves, in case you are
feeling adventurous enough to explore them.
Jageshwar Museum
Most of the sculptures and idols found in the Jageshwar temple
complex have been housed in the Archaeological museum just outside
the main temple complex. In all, it houses around 174 sculptures,
each of them beautiful beyond words. Unfortunately, photography
is not allowed inside the museum, and photographs of the sculptures
are not available either.
