Even if you are not religious you must plan a visit. The journey to the temple is a wonderful experience. Condition of the road is manageable. There is breathtaking scenic beauty while you round the hill and up to the Temple

yes the reviews about the drive to temple are very correct, the road beside river ganga and then into the silent peaceful valley may ask you to come out of your vehicle and the fresh air may breath out the best in you. The temple is good enough to watch at least once, the shivling is in the roots of... More

The drive to this temple is mesmerizing. The trees, the air, the sound of river and streams flowing, the mountains, birds, the sky, it all seems so heavenly. A wonderful temple for the believers of Lord Shiva. You need to trek a bit to reah this temple so sturdy shoes are required.

Neelkanth is famous for Lord Shiva's Temple. It's located 25-30 kms after Rishikesh. One who believes in Lord Shiva, must visit this place.

Neelkanth Mahadev...Is Situated at the distance of 40 KM from Haridwar.. It is situated in the lap of huge mountains. It is a very sacred and highly worshiped temple of Lord Shiva. The way to this temple is excellent and is all through the huge mountains. It's a quite place with excellent views of many mountains.

The road starts and passes through the National park for which a fee of Rs.12 is payable.The drive is approx. 35 kms one side. A number of rafting camps can be seen there. The beauty of the Ganga river is majestic ! The road... More

The drive from Rishikesh around 25KM one side. Old temple. The names tells you all about spirituality, diviness of the place. Tip: One should plan the travel in advance during morning to beat traffic, avoid during Mahashiv ratri festivals because of long ques.

The temple is situated on a hill. We went there by a car that we rented at the stand near Ram Jhula (Rs. 700) and the drive there is very scenic. But the temple itself is a disappointment. It is small and garish and completely lacks gravity.
