HOME DESTINATIONS Lansdowne
Tarkeshwar Mahadev Temple
A forest-wrapped Shiva shrine offering deep calm, deodar views, and a legend-soaked spiritual escape.
A Shiva temple set deep in deodar, cedar, and pine forests, about 38 km from Lansdowne—the kind of place where the forest feels like part of the shrine. Tradition links the name to Tarkasur, whose story is woven into the temple’s identity; the setting is so dense and atmospheric that many people visit as much for the spiritual calm as for the legend.
