Kunjapuri Temple Trek by Himalayan Dream Treks
The Kunjapuri Temple Trek is one of the most scenic and spiritually uplifting experiences near Rishikesh. Located at an altitude of around 1,676 meters above sea level, Kunjapuri Temple forms part of the revered 52 Shakti Peeths, which gives it strong religious importance in Hindu tradition. Most travelers start early to witness the famous sunrise, as the first rays of the sun light up Himalayan peaks like Chaukhamba, Bandarpoonch, and Gangotri on clear days. The trek itself is short and beginner-friendly, with well-marked paths and a final staircase leading to the temple. Along the way, you pass through quiet villages, forest trails, and panoramic viewpoints that make the journey just as rewarding as the destination.
