Mahakal Temple - Hindu temple in Darjeeling - Darjeeling, India

A quiet place hosting the abode for the mahakal shiva and shakti. One can feel divinity spending some time here, unlike the chaos in other holy places. enjoyed the view and the riot of colors here in the bright sunny weather with cool mountain breeze. Scenically beautiful and spiritual place to visit. Excellently maintained by local authority. The temple is a mix of Hindu and Buddhist worship. Temple is surrounded by prayer flags. It's a peaceful place with a calm atmosphere. There are monkeys around be mindful. Worth the walk up the hill.

Absolutely awesome place ..... Located just outside Chowrasta. After a steep but short climb, you will reach the temple, and its worth the time and effort. Must visit if you are religious and even if you are not religious.the oldest place of worship in Darjeeelng (then called Dorje-Ling or place of roaring thunder).A beautiful temple with both Hindu and Buddhist deities and an interesting history. The architecture has both influences and is something unique for anywhere. Nice and spiritual place i mean its a Sivaji temple and you feel very much relaxed and clamed with you visit there totally a holy and peaceful temple but only thing is beware of Monkeys You have to ride high rise roads for about 1 kilometers to reach this nice temple. If you visit Darjeeling you must see this temple..Elderly may find the place difficult to reach even through road Thank you Please give a like

A must visit temple if you come to Darjeeling. Located on the highest point of Darjeeling we can see beautiful sunrise from this point. Wish fulfilling temple it is believed & I must proudly say I donated 108 prayer wheels, surrounding this temple. My sister Surya Tamang made it in Phuensholing Bhutan .

A wonderful place to visit for any tourist coming to Darjeeling to spend their vacations. There are beautiful trees, monkeys and a good view of the town. It is known for it's religious significance in the area. It's a a uphill walk of about 15 minutes from the Mall but I'd say it's totally worth it. I went during rains, and place looked even more beautiful.

This is one of the must visit place in Darjeeling.. located above hill top beside Darjeeling Mall.. you have to climb 15-20 minutes upstairs.. but is worth to make this effort.. you can visit any time.. but it is recommended to go there in the morning or evening time .. to avoid sun and to have great views of sun set..

A must for every tourist visiting Darjeeling. Apart for the religious value. The trek uphill, the mischievous but friendly monkeys, the awesome view, the evergreen trees, and the spectacular sight from the temple is enough for a true backpacker to take this 300 Mts trek uphill. And ofcourse the darshan of the Hindu gods is also necessary. The monkeys won't trouble you as long as you don't trouble them. Photography is allowed, even inside the temple. Apart from other temples I've visited you can wear shoes to the top of the hill only to take it off at the gate of the temple. Apart from other temples the Prasad was free of charge. A great experience for me. Though I would not recommend for heart patients or people suffering from asthma and/or arthritis, as the long trek uphill can do damage to some people.

A must visit place in Darjeeling. 10 minutes walking distance from Darjeeling mall . Calm peaceful place. Apart from the religious purpose you will experience adventures trek with some friendly monkeys
