Neelkanth Temple

Visiting Neelkanth temple once in lifetime should be in your bucket list. The temple is one of the most revered holy shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and is a prominent Hindu pilgrimage site. It is about 22 km from Rishikesh.

You will love the location of the temple, enveloped between the valleys, surrounded by the dense forest. Famous Kaanvad yatra of the pilgrims ends at this point, the faith and belief can be witnessed during the holy expedition by the bhakts of Lord Shiva.

Since you are already here, so might as well visit the temple and pay a tribute to Hindu mythology – the memories of churning of sea (samudramanthan) myth and intaking of the poison by lord Shiva that was supposed to be consumed by the Gods. And this could even play as a permission factor for your parents or guardians.
