Mount Shikhar is at the height of 9000 feet above sea level where during the winters 5 to 6 feet of snow falls. The mountain on back is Mount Shikhar and a Mandir is located there.

This is a temple of Mool Narayanan up in the Shikhar. A saint lives up here all by his self. 
One can see all the panoramic himalyas from this point.
Usually all the pujas are performed here during festive seasons.

This is a baba who lives up there. If one is visiting this temple, take something to eat as well as give since very less people climb up there. There's no electricity up there due to remoteness, hence beauty is maintained.

This is a cave up there which is very deep and extends as it has no ends. Water here is very cold and sweet. Womens are not allowed here. This place is very sacred.
