Mukteshwar Mahadev Temple - Hindu temple in Rajpura, Thara Jhikla - Pathankot, India

Traveled in September 2023. Super cool spot. The day we went were drizzled. So much enjoyed a view n weather. We rented a car to reach there. Temple view was awesome. But early darshan will be appreciable other wise parking will be difficult. U will have to climb up. You can have trail walk from the temple to stunning view valley of mukteshwar. Worth including in itinerary.
