Did You Know: Kunjapuri Temple and the Vashisht Caves
Three hundred steps for a free workout with your darshan, and Tapovan's original air-conditioner.
Tapovan Times · 26 September 2025
Kunjapuri Temple
It’s one of the 52 Shakti Peeths — where parts of Sati’s body are said to have fallen.
The sunrise here? Unreal. The 300+ steps to reach it? Also unreal. Free workout with your darshan.
Vashisht Caves
Said to be where Sage Vashisht meditated after losing his sons. The cave still carries that deep silence.
Unknown perk: the cave stays naturally cool even in May, so it’s also Tapovan’s original air-conditioner.
Just be warned — in that silence, your stomach growls sound like thunder.
