Common Questions

Is the temple actually closed all year?
The temple doors are officially open for worship only on Raksha Bandhan. However, you can trek to the location year-round to view the magnificent stone architecture and the surrounding meadows.
How hard is the trek?
It is rated as Easy to Moderate. The trail is mostly a well-defined forest path, but the final ascent to 11,800 ft is steep enough to get your heart rate up.
Where does the trek start?
The trek starts from Devgram village in the Urgam Valley, which is accessed via Joshimath and Helang.
Are there food stalls on the way?
No. Once you leave Devgram, there are no human settlements or tea houses. You must carry a packed lunch.
Can I do this in one day?
Yes, very fit trekkers can hike up to the temple and back to Devgram in a single, long 8-hour day.
Will my phone work?
You will have network in Devgram (Jio/BSNL), but it vanishes as you enter the dense forest.
Is it safe for solo trekkers?
While physically safe, the forest is dense and unmarked. A local guide from Devgram is highly recommended so you don't get lost.
Is there snow?
In winter (Dec-March), the trail is buried in snow. In the summer/autumn trekking months, it is entirely green and dry.
