This ancient temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is renowned for its unique tradition where lightning strikes the temple’s spire, shattering it into pieces that are later repaired by the temple priests.

The Bijli Mahadev trek is not just a physical journey but also a spiritual one, as it provides trekkers with an opportunity to connect with nature and experience local traditions. The best time to embark on this trek to experience snow is between December and February when the region receives snowfall and the surroundings of the temple become all white covered with a snow blanket.
