We stayed at Kasaar Jungle Resort and visited the temple though an uphill road from the hotel, the trek was reasonably easy The temple is not very big, when we visited in a June’22 morning, there was limited crowd.

The alarm rang out at the crack of dawn, marking the beginning of our much-anticipated trip from Noida to the picturesque Kasar Devi in Uttarakhand. The excitement was palpable as we embarked on a 3-day adventure to this serene Himalayan destination. Upon reaching Kasar Devi, our first stop was the renowned Kasar Devi Temple. Nestled amidst lush greenery and offering panoramic views of the majestic Himalayas, this ancient temple exuded an aura of mystique and spirituality. We spent hours exploring the temple premises, marveling at the intricate architecture, and soaking in the tranquil vibes. As the day drew to a close, we couldn't miss the opportunity to witness the famous sunset of Kasar Devi. Perched atop a hill, we watched in awe as the sun dipped below the snow-capped peaks, painting the sky with shades of orange and pink. It was a breathtaking sight that set the tone for the rest of our journey.

Kasar Devi temple is in Kasar Devi village near Almora dedicated to ‘Devi’ and is one of the most significant ‘Durga’ temples. The temple structure dates to the 2nd century CE. A winding walkway from gateway on the Almora-Binsar main road, right the beginning of the village, leads up to the temple. There is another vehicle route going to Sri Sarda Math which drops you half way, we choose that. We clicked several pics from the Hilltop that provides beautiful scenes of valley and Himalayas and views of Almora and Hawalbagh through deodar and pine trees. . As per a sign board at the temple, according to NASA, this temple is positioned on the earth's Van Allen Belt.

As per another sign board in the temple, Kasar Devi first became known when in the September, 1890, Swami Vivekananda visited and meditated in a solitary cave on this mountain here and has mentioned his experience in his diaries. In later history, at the peak of the Hippie movement, the area also became a part of the Hippie trail. Crank's Ridge, colloquially known as Hippie Hill, which lies ahead of Kasar Devi became a popular destination. Another board showing that Rock Inscription having two lines written In Brahmi-Lipi of 6th Century are there on the left side of the hill. But poor maintenance does not allow us to see the inscriptions on the rocks highlighted there.
