Snow covered Shiv Temple - Stone Kumbh

in #explore7 years ago

Hello guys, This post is in continuation to my last log from Chail trip.

Day 2 we planned to trek to Stone Kumbh. The road leading is quite steep and was completely covered with snow however our hotel staff was all praises so it was tough to ignore visiting.

The temple is handmade and was made by 1 man in 38 yrs. Yes that makes it quite a visit. It snowed almost a week before we visited the temple which stayed and made our visit truly worth. The place didn't look quite famous with tourists which was evident from the snow spread out there. It was under thick white snow which made it all the way more beautiful when we visited.
