We visited the Temple this week and it was a great experience. The life size statue of Hanuman and the little temple are obviously great and worth the experience. We walked all the way to the doorway office but we’re told it wasn’t working and due maintainence which was a great disappointment - their website didn’t state anything of the sort on the day and really unprofessional of the officials to not update the status of the ripe way there to save everyone time and effort. We ended up taking our own car there and it’s a 30mins drive from main Shimla, thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommend the site.

Jakhu Temple in Shimla is a popular Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Hanuman. It is situated on Jakhu Hill and offers breathtaking views of the city and surrounding hills. It is a must-visit for those seeking spiritual experiences and stunning views.

Jakhu Temple is an ancient Hanuman Temple located in Shimla. We took a cab to visit the temple, not the ropeway. Some development work in under progress near temple stairs, after whose completion access to the temple shall be easier.

For the best views of shimla take the sky rope/cable car to the temple as the views of shimla are stunning. The views from the top are restricted because of the trees. The temple itself is quite small but interesting the large monkey statue Is impressive, watch out for the monkeys up here thought they can get quite aggressive . worth a visit for the views though.

As a part of Nirmala Travels Mangalore in Shimla Tour we a group of 40 persons reached Shimla, at three PM. Since we all were tired of journey from a long distance by bus, our manager said we can take rest today. But we had a idea to travel by toy train. But timings are not suited to us. Hence We decided to visit Jakhu Temple. From Our Hotel Temple is about 3 kilo meters far. We all reached the spot, then we came to know that either we opt for cable car or motor car. This cable car service is provided by Private carrier. Timings are upto 6 PM in the evenings only. As we reached the spot, lot of motor car operators are offering one way for Rs. 50.00. Since its a steep hill we thought of opting for cable ca for enjoying the view. They charged us Rs. 250.00 per head for one way, which is quite expensive, but still we opted it. Temple is serene, but monkeys troubled us a lot. My Spectacles was snatched away by one of the monkeys. There is a huge Statue of Lord Hanuman. We sat there for a hour and came down by Maruti Omni just for Rs. 50.00

The temple itself we didn’t go into but we walked up to the summit and enjoyed the view and the huge statue. Do not wear glasses, the monkeys will steal them. A young lad had his nicked and got a face scratch in the process. Quite a steep walk but covered and you can go at your own pace.

You can see the monkey statue on the hill from all over Shimla so certainly worth a visit to go up there. The temple is in a beautiful setting and you can go inside and get a blessing but there is not much else to see or do between cable cars other than sit and contemplate or take a very short walk around. There is a small stall up there but nothing to really buy. The statue is, of course, for the monkey god but I only saw one actual monkey here, it is not running wild with them like the town itself. So if you want to get away from the monkeys...go to the monkey temple!

Awesome place with beautiful sculpture of Lord Hanuman. Must visit place when in Shimla. You can use ropeway or reach by car. But lovely scenic beauty. Must visit especially during monsoon with mist and clouds around.

The biggest Hanuman statue about 108 ft is here . The statue is visible from the The mall Shimla. Here I was told that Hanuman took rest on his way from Himalayas. Lot of monkeys are here. Nice place to visit for relaxation & meditation.

Shimla journey is incomplete without a visit to the jakhoo temple! This is the highest point in shimla and the statue of lord hanumanji is visible from almost any part of the city. Beware of monkeys here and take care of your bags. Very lovely place and the best part is it also has a ropeway.We walked from the Ridge near the mall and up to the statue. You can either take stairs or walk beside them on good paved shang out to look at the giant.
