Now and then I hear my friends embarking on these <strong>spiritual journey<\/strong>s and I often found myself wondering what&#8217;s the appeal. However, as fate has it, on a very fine day I found myself packing for the Badhangarhi Temple in Gwaldham. along with <a href=\"https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/mahavatar-babaji-cave-tour-package-from-rishikesh.html\"><strong>Mahavatar Babaji Cave\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Overview: Badhangarhi Temple<\/h3>\n<p>Many people believe that one doesn\u2019t simply visit temples, it calls to them. I was not one of those people. Yet, when I came across this enchanting Gwaldam tour package, I couldn\u2019t resist myself. It was the perfect vacation I was looking for<strong> serene locales,<\/strong> lovely green meadows and nature all around.<\/p>\n<p>However, what I didn\u2019t anticipate was that Gwaldam had another surprise waiting for me- The magnificent Badhangarhi temple.<\/p>\n<h3>My Travel Diary<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>To start, I have been to Uttaranchal, especially the Kumaon hill region before. This region is bustling with greenery and is a treat to the sore eyes.<\/li>\n<li>Gwaldham too is located at the heart of the <strong>Garhwal &amp; Kumaon<\/strong> hills. As my tour of Gwaldam commenced, I found myself being greeted by marvellous apple orchards and scintillating views of the Nanda Devi.<\/li>\n<li>The highlight of my Gwaldam tour was the<strong> Badhangarhi temple<\/strong> and while I was reluctant I went along.<\/li>\n<li>The entire route to the Badhangarhi temple is extremely scenic and oddly I felt something spiritual for the first time. Everything was quiet and the entire atmosphere complete with trees felt divine.<\/li>\n<li>The temple is about 8 km from the main area of Gwaldham. As my car slowly came to a halt, I could see the beautiful temple. Located at<strong> an altitude of 2,260 m<\/strong> above sea level, it is an easy walk.<\/li>\n<li>My car halted at Taal, which is about <strong>4 km away from the temple<\/strong>. From here I had to undertake a tranquil walk to reach the Badhangarhi temple.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>History: Badhangarhi Temple<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>As I finally reached the temple I let out a gasp. Something about the <strong>Badhangarhi temple gripped me and I felt a strong presence surrounding me<\/strong>. The temple\u2019s architecture was humble, and yet something extremely powerful seemed to have made it their abode.<\/li>\n<li>The temple is built in honour of the powerful <strong>goddess Kali and Lord Shiva<\/strong>. People believe that it was built during the<a href=\"https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/blogoldsite\/katyuri-valley-in-uttarakhand\/\"><strong> Katyuri dynasty.<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li>I stepped inside the temple, as the many bells hung above me started to toll.<strong> The voice reverberated inside the little temple<\/strong> as I bowed my head down. Hordes of pilgrims were roaming around all devoted to the deities.<\/li>\n<li>As I started at the temple, I too felt the kind of devotion that I have often heard of. It was as if the Goddess inside me and was blessing me in every way.<\/li>\n<li>After I finished gasping at the temple, I decided to walk around the complex and explore more. I came across a lovely point from where you can get the most <strong>enchanting views of peaks<\/strong> like <strong>Nanda Devi, Trishul or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Panchachuli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Panchachuli.<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1890\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1890\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/blogoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buddhist-Gompa-Gwaldham-uttarakhand.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1890\" src=\"https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/blogoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buddhist-Gompa-Gwaldham-uttarakhand.jpg\" alt=\"Buddhist-Gompa-Gwaldham-uttarakhand\" width=\"800\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/blogoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buddhist-Gompa-Gwaldham-uttarakhand.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/blogoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buddhist-Gompa-Gwaldham-uttarakhand-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/blogoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buddhist-Gompa-Gwaldham-uttarakhand-768x327.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/blogoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buddhist-Gompa-Gwaldham-uttarakhand-141x60.jpg 141w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1890\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buddhist Gompa Gwaldham Uttarakhand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0Gwaldam ( Badhangarhi Temple )<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>After having such a wonderful and life-changing experience at the Badhangarhi temple, my Gwaldam tour package included lovely sightseeing.<\/li>\n<li>I once again got into my tour car and we head off to the <strong>mysterious and sleepy town<\/strong> of Gwaldam. The pristine aroma of the woods filled my lungs, as the mountain peaks provided the perfect backdrop. My mind was finally at peace.<\/li>\n<li>As I entered the town I could see the <strong>Border Security Force<\/strong> training facility stretched over the upper town. It almost makes the town feel like a cantonment area.<\/li>\n<li>This little hill station still has the smell of the colonial era, and one almost feels nostalgic here.<\/li>\n<li>My Gwaldham tour package also<strong> included three marvellous walks,<\/strong> all of which start <strong>at Benatol<\/strong>i. These walks were refreshing and took me to the heart of nature. They are easy and perfect for a relaxed, idle afternoon,<\/li>\n<li>Finally, my Gwaldham tour concludes with the <strong>Bodhi Mandir at Baghtoli.<\/strong> A Buddhist gompa that is now filled with <strong>intricate statues of the <a href=\"https:\/\/rishikeshdaytour.com\/blogoldsite\/buddhist-khamba-temple-gwaldam\/\">Buddha<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>I also went up the narrow staircase to reach the top. From here you can see the magnificent<strong> view of the entire valley of Gwaldham.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Bidding Adieu<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, the Badhangarhi Temple is a hidden gem of Uttarakhand, known for its unique architecture, natural beauty, and spiritual significance. It is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a spiritual experience or a peaceful retreat in the lap of nature.
